Following Friday night’s premiere of AEW Collision, KENTA took to Twitter to declare that a match between him and CM Punk is “never going to happen.”
KENTA tweeted, “KENTA vs Punk is never going to happen.”
This comes after KENTA’s recent demands for a “big bag” (paycheck) for a potential match with Punk at AEW X NJPW Forbidden Door II.
Punk returned to AEW on Collision with his own bag, which he claimed to contain the AEW World Title that he won back at AEW All Out 2022 and relinquished due to his injury and subsequent suspension following the infamous backstage brawl.
Earlier reports suggested that Punk vs. KENTA was being planned for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II, however, the former AEW World Champion noted in his recent ESPN interview that he wasn’t thrilled about the idea of working with KENTA. It is to be noted that KENTA was not mentioned in the final published version of the controversial interview.
Kenta vs Punk is never going to happen.
