CM Punk has named some superstars he would like to face after becoming the AEW World Champion.
In the main event of Double or Nothing 2022, Punk defeated Hangman Page after an incredible bout. At one point in the match, it seemed Page was going to hit his opponent with the world title, but his hesitancy eventually led him to lose.
Speaking at the media scrum following DoN, Punk admitted that Bryan Danielson remains at the top of his list of potential opponents. Interestingly, he pointed out that he had faced Dean Ambrose earlier, not Jon Moxley, hinting at another stellar match-up.

Punk said:
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
"I am looking forward to stepping into the ring with AEW talent. I always think number one with the bullet is always going to be Bryan Danielson. I've never wrestled Jon Moxley, I've wrestled Dean Ambrose, so that's an interesting match-up. Still guys on my list that I've never wrestled with, Jungle Boy, Ricky Starks. I could probably finish out my career wrestling FTR every day for the rest of my life and it can be different and fun every single time. Will Hobbs is another guy that I think has all the potential in the world." [42:07-42:49]
