Daniel Bryan & CM Punk were agruably two of the biggest stars to come to the WWE from the independent circle. Both came up in similar circles, held the Ring of Honor championship, and were instant fan favorites upon coming to WWE.
They did have a match at Over The Limit & Money In The Bank 2012, but they were never able to face each other at the biggest show in the WWE calendar, Wrestlemania. CM Punk was victorious in both their WWE PPV encounters.
Daniel Bryan Speaks On Wanting To Face Punk At Wrestlemania
Speaking to Cerrito Live, Bryan was asked if he believes Punk will return to the ring and on wanting to see them square off at the show of shows.
“It’s always so enticing to comeback, as much as you don’t want to. I would hope yes. In the back of my mind, even after he left, I always had this thing where it seemed to me where there should have always been a WrestleMania match between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. Now, at this point, he may be past that. I know he’s not big on people putting his name out there and saying, ‘I want to do this.’ That’s not where I’m coming from with this, at all. But, in the back of my head, I was always disappointed we never got a CM Punk and Daniel Bryan WrestleMania match,” he said.
CM Punk Refuses To Come Back In That Way
Ever since CM Punk returned to the company in a way with his involvement in WWE Backstage, he has continued to shoot down any suggestions he will wrestle for the company ever again. Obviously anything is possible, and if CM Punk does return, both Seth Rollins & Daniel Bryan will be first in line to test and see if he still has it. Both men could easily main event WrestleMania against Punk, and deliver a classic performance. The only thing stopping this is CM Punk’s refusal to return to the ring.
Do you think CM Punk will enter the ring again in the 2020’s? Do you even want to see him come back at this point? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section down below.
