Samoa Joe and CM Punk's history of matches in the early 2000s have become the stuff of legend. During a time period in which it was questionable if Ring of Honor would survive, CM Punk and Samoa Joe competed in a series of historic matches which are still spoken about to this day.

Fans drowned out a popular wrestler with 'She's a racist' chants recently

Because of their legendary matches against each other, Samoa Joe and CM Punk will always be tied together. Samoa Joe and CM Punk have not faced off since their legendary ROH matches, with many fans still yearning to see both wrestlers face off one more time.

CM Punk has not competed in a professional wrestling match since leaving WWE in 2014. However, in recent months the former WWE Champion hasn't ruled out competing again if the story, opponent and/or finances were all correct. Could a possible re-match against Samoa Joe in an AEW ring be the catalyst to bring CM Punk out of his professional wrestling retirement?

CM Punk tweeted Samoa Joe after the announcement of Joe's WWE release was made. Could this be the beginning of the two legendary rivals facing off one more time inside of a professional wrestling ring?
