#5 CM Punk vs. Sting
Even though CM Punk vs. Darby Allin may be done and dusted, it just seemed like there's still a story to be told between him and Sting. The two men have expressed their admiration for one another. Sting even told CM Punk that he'd have liked to work with him during his prime.
"I had Sting come up to me today and tell me that he's excited to work with me. He wished that he got to work with me, you know, back in his day. That's my legacy, man," CM Punk said.
Although Sting may be past his prime in the eyes of many, Sting vs. Punk is a marquee match in just about any generation. The contest does not need to move at a million miles an hour. CM Punk and Sting are two supremely great storytellers who could keep the crowd intrigued without any flips or dives.
