AEW star Jeff Hardy teased the possibility of feuding with former rival CM Punk, saying a moment between the two is bound to happen.

Hardy and Punk had one of the most celebrated feuds of the 2000s in WWE throughout the summer of 2009 over the World Heavyweight Championship.

After their opposite beliefs pushed them to their limits, CM Punk came out on top. Punk won a steel cage match, resulting in Hardy leaving WWE for almost eight years.

Jeff Hardy was so over, that CM Punk dressed up as him and pissed off a whole crowd.

Nobody thought this was funny in the arena. 🤣 https://t.co/VKYt7U9Fbm

Now that both men are in AEW, Jeff expressed interest in relighting his feud with Punk. Here's what Jeff said to Freddie Prinze Jr. on the latest episode of Wrestling with Freddie:

"One of my favorite things as far as, like, being World Champion was when [CM] Punk, and it’s so crazy we are in the same company now, and there’s a huge moment between me and Punk that’s going to come, I’m sure.” (from 17:22 to 17:34)

At the time of writing, Hardy and Punk are on two different trajectories in AEW. Punk will be headlining Double or Nothing on May 29 for the AEW World Title against Hangman Page, while Jeff and Matt Hardy have tension brewing with The Young Bucks.
