CM Punk has locked horns with some of the best wrestling technicians of the past two decades. From Daniel Bryan to Eddie Guerrero, Punk's career has featured him matching holds with extremely talented in-ring performers. IMPACT Wrestling has quite a few exceptional competitors, but none might be more gifted than "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander.

The current X-Division Champion has been a revelation for IMPACT Wrestling this year. After his successful run in The North with Ethan Page, Alexander thought that he might have to wait on the sideline for another opportunity. However, his shot at gold came a lot sooner than he thought. Josh Alexander defeated Ace Austin and TJP in a three way at Rebellion to win the X-Division Championship.

Felt so good to be infront of Impact fans again! That energy was sorely missed. Also I'm a gargoyle. pic.twitter.com/531BOH2qkD

Josh Alexander hasn't slowed down his momentum since then. He beat TJP in a 60-minute Iron Man Match to retain the X-Division Championship in a TV Match of the Year candidate. Alexander also defeated five of the X-Division best in an Ultimate X Match at Slammiversary. CM Punk will have a tough test if he clashed with The Walking Weapon.

One of the dream matches that fans missed out on was CM Punk vs. Kurt Angle. If there is one wrestler that fits the mold of Angle, it is Josh Alexander. He would be able to put on a wrestling clinic with "The Straight Edge Superstar". Those two men could go hold for hold and have a great encounter that would be truly memorable. IMPACT Wrestling would be wise to make this match happen.
