CM Punk addresses whether there is any "competition" between him and Bryan Danielson in AEW
CM Punk and Bryan Danielson are unquestionably two of the biggest stars in AEW right now. That being said, The Second City Saint doesn't look at the American Dragon as his competition.
In an interview with Barstool Rasslin', CM Punk spoke about his ability to co-exist with Danielson in AEW. He mentioned that as two men who have a lot of history together, there's a "great will and desire" between the duo to wrestle each other eventually.
"I don't think there's competition," said Punk. "I think there's just a great will and desire to not only wrestle each other eventually but just let's have fun with all these new toys we got, all these new kids you know and I keep talking about wanting to tag with him. There's just so many options."
CM Punk and Bryan Danielson competed in a stellar rivalry in WWE, where they feuded over the WWE Championship. They had excellent matches at the Over the Limit and Money in the Bank pay-per-views in 2012.
Now that both men are in AEW, hopefully fans will get to see the two all-time greats lock horns again.
