Former WWE star says a rumored match against CM Punk is 'never going to happen'

A former WWE star recently claimed that he would never face CM Punk in a blockbuster encounter. The talent in question is KENTA.

The Second City Saint made his return to All Elite Wrestling on the premiere of the Collision show to a massive ovation. He competed in the main event of the night, teaming up with FTR to take on Jay White, Juice Robinson, and Samoa Joe. Punk eventually hit the GTS to pick up the victory for his team.

Shortly after, KENTA, who has been rumored to be CM Punk's opponent for the upcoming Forbidden Door pay-per-view, took to Twitter and stated that the bout is "never going to happen."

"Kenta vs Punk is never going to happen," wrote KENTA.
