CM Punk is enjoying AEW. His happiness is apparent through his expressions and promos. He has never lost a match in the AEW ring also helps his cause. While Punk is currently embroiled in minor rivalries, his endgame is the promotion's World Championship.

Punk knows the taste of being a world champion. In WWE, he won the WWE Championship twice and the World Heavyweight Championship thrice. He would have won more if not for the seven-year-long hiatus from the professional wrestling industry.

#1 AEW star Bryan Danielson

CM Punk left WWE partly because of WWE not letting him main event WrestleMania. Bryan broke through all shackles to achieve the same dream. With fans firmly behind him, he defeated all active Evolution members in a single night for a climactic end to the Yes Movement storyline WWE focussed on for months.

Bryan won the WWE Championship four times, with three short reigns during his prime, followed by an incredible heel stint. He first won the World Heavyweight Championship after a famous cash-in.

Now he looks forward to winning the AEW World Championship shortly and adding another feather to his cap.
