Mark Henry believes we will see Kenny Omega vs CM Punk down the road.
Since AEW All Out 2022 tensions between The Elite and CM Punk have remained high following the brawl backstage at the event. While there has been minimal progress, there has also been steps backwards as Punk has found himself firing shots at The Elite on several occasions following his AEW return earlier this summer.
Speaking on Torg & Elliott, Mark Henry was asked if fans would ever get the chance to see Kenny Omega vs. CM Punk in an AEW ring.
“I want to see it too. It’s just a matter of time. You let things iron themselves out, and you see where things lead to. Could you imagine an AEW tournament for the World Title and on one side of the bracket, to go to the finals, you have Kenny Omega and CM Punk meet up against each other? It would be incredible,”
“The top 100 wrestlers of all time, they’re halfway on it. CM Punk and Kenny Omega are in the top 40 of all time. People don’t realize, you go to the NFL, look up the top 100 football players, see who is in the top 40. It will blow your mind. Same thing with any other sport. I’d like to see the top 100 baseball players and see who is the top 40. It’s nothing to sneeze at. I believe in both of those guys being great competitors and I feel they have a lot left, multiple years. Kenny Omega just signed a new deal. He’s going to be around another four years.”

Fans have wanted to see a match between CM Punk and Kenny Omega ever since Punk came to AEW in August 2021, but due to injuries and the current drama, the pair have not even come close to meeting in the squared circle.
We will have to wait and see if Mark is right and we will see the pair square off in the near future.
