Will Ospreay calls out CM Punk

It's been almost six years since we last saw CM Punk compete in a squared circle and chances of him returning to in-ring action are somewhat unpredictable at this stage.

However, with Punk himself listing down the stars he would like to face, New Japan Pro Wrestling star and former IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Will Ospreay, didn't waste his opportunity to put the former WWE Champion on notice.

'The Ariel Assassin' took to Twitter and sent out the following in response of Punk namedropping him as a potential opponent for the future:

Just an idea & because we could all use something to focus on to get us through this hard time right now.Save January 4th & get some reps in.Help the business move forward instead of being a “spoke on the wheel”This might be click bait. But a Great White just bit.@CMPunk https://t.co/53TIKpUaZc
