"The last time my dad wrestled you, you left for seven years" - WWE legend's son sends a message to CM Punk
Colten Gunn, son of WWE legend Billy Gunn, took to social media to deliver a message to newly-crowned AEW World Champion CM Punk.
Punk won the world title last night at Double or Nothing by dethroning Hangman Page. In doing so, The Second City Saint became a champion for the first time in nine years; he previously lost the WWE Championship in 2013 following a 434-day reign.
Colten, meanwhile, is teaming up with his father Billy and brother Austin as The Gunn Club. Recently, they have been in an alliance with The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowens).
Following his title win, Punk took to Twitter to post a photo of himself and FTR and said that AEW should put the reported Trios Titles on them. Colten responded to the tweet by saying that the last time The Second City Saint fought his father, the former left for seven years. He then went on to warn Punk and FTR that the Gunn Club will send all three men on a hiatus.
"The last time my dad wrestled you, you left for seven years… don’t make us do it to all three of you," Colten tweeted.

Punk and Billy Gunn faced off on an episode of WWE RAW on January 20, 2014. The Second City Saint defeated the former DX member in what would be his last singles match for the company.
CM Punk recently disclosed his intention to challenge NJPW stars after his AEW World Title win
During the recent Double or Nothing media scrum, The Second City Saint expressed his desire face several New Japan Pro-Wrestling stars. He specifically named Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Will Ospreay.
"Well, obviously, we got Forbidden Door coming up, so, you know, to me focusing on that, I think Okada, Tanahashi, Ospreay, guys like that I'm looking forward to stepping in the ring with," Punk said.
Tell someone in 2019, that we'll probably get a CM Punk vs Kazuchika Okada match in 2022. Wrestling is wild. 🔥 https://t.co/2mmamUGieA
As of this moment, CM Punk doesn't have an official challenger for the AEW World Championship. However, it will be interesting to see what his future holds; with Forbidden Door a few weeks away, he could potentially compete in a dream match against a top NJPW star.
