#2 CM Punk provides AEW with multiple dream matches

AEW signing CM Punk opens up a Pandora's box of possibilities. Since Punk's exit from WWE in 2014, new wrestling superstars have emerged, including Kenny Omega, the Young Bucks, Darby Allin, Adam Cole, MJF and current AEW world champion "Hangman" Adam Page.

He can even face former WWE talent that he's shared a ring with in the past and it will still be fresh as the likes of Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley and Miro have completely reinvented themselves in AEW. The stacked roster brings about and endless glut of possibilities and it's exciting to armchair-book as a wrestling fan.

The best part is that CM Punk will not be hindered by bad creative in AEW and be allowed to showcase his best attributes and ideas, untethered by Vince McMahon or incompetent scriptwriters.

So far Punk has engaged in rivalries with the likes of Darby Allin, Team Taz, Eddie Kingston and now MJF. That is barely 10% of the roster and it will be intriguing to see how he mixes up with new opponents down the road.
