Jey Uso recently spoke highly of a certain superstar who he believes is on the same level as his cousin, Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns. The wrestler in question is none other than CM Punk.

Randy Orton signed an exclusive contract with SmackDown, while the controversial star's brand is yet to be determined. Adam Pearce hopes to sign the Voice of the Voiceless to RAW.

Commenting on the current situation on WWE's The Bump, Jey Uso stated that despite the haters, Punk is a legitimate name that brings credibility to the brand. He also added that the former WWE Champion could face him in the latter's first match after nearly a decade:

"Man, sign CM Punk," Jey Uso began. "Like, why wouldn't we sign CM Punk? I know he got a whole bunch of haters, or whatever. If we're gonna be honest, he's a superstar, first and foremost. People talk about him. If we got anything to do with wrestling, his name is in it. He's like on some Tribal Chief status. He's a top guy regardless of what is going on. So, my invitation is open man. Bring him. Let's go. Let's run it, bro. I'll be your first one to run it with. It's all good. It's all love. Let's go. Let's run it. Welcome back though, CM Punk!" Jey Uso concluded.

It appears the company is in fact saving the money match for a major premium live event. WrestleMania 40 seems fitting for the first-time-ever clash.
