5 Dream CM Punk matches we never got to see

Honourable Mentions

Bret Hart would have been a good foe for Punk in the ring and on the mic.

CM Punk VS. Bret Hart

This showdown was actually highlighted when Punk was in the middle of his record-breaking title reign.

He talked to Hart about what would have happened in a match between the two of them.

Of course, the cocky champion said he would have kicked his butt.

John Cena, as he always does, came out to 'defend' Bret's honor, but Hart eventually got the last laugh when he decked Punk.

It would have been a good technical match between two legends who used the adjective 'best' in their catchphrases.

CM Punk VS. Shinsuke Nakamura

This one would have been a study in striking.

Nakamura is the King of Strong Style, something Punk and Daniel Bryan helped bring to the WWE.

Punk used Kenta's (Hideo Itami's) 'Go To Sleep' and Bryan and Nakamura both use the running knee.

A striking bout would have been a perfect match for any type of PPV.

The counters that each would use would also be something to watch. Obviously the whole Best in the World mantra would battle the Strong Style mantra for supremacy.

CM Punk VS. Pentagon Jr.

This one is more a personal preference.

Pentagon Jr. basically came into international stardom during his Lucha Underground tenure.

He's been an antihero in the mold of Steve Austin and Punk before him.

He's also proven to be a beast in the ring and with the crowd.

Who better to test the 'No Fear' mantra than the Best in the World?

They wouldn't talk much, obviously, because I don't know how good Punk's Spanish is.

Penta's English is severely limited.

If you've seen any of Pentagon's work in either LU or Impact, you know how good he is.

The rest of the world knows how good he is but he'd be a great match for Punk.

Two antiheroes going toe-to-toe to prove who is the baddest dude.
