#1 Kevin Owens shared an almost interesting beef with CM Punk
Before making it big in the world of WWE, Kevin Owens was scratching and clawing his way to get the top on the independent circuit with many top draws like CM Punk, Samoa Joe, Daniel Bryan, and Sami Zayn.
Considering that they all were a part of Ring of Honor, Owens once had a strange altercation with CM Punk backstage where the Cult of Personality questioned Owens' willingness to fight in a T-shirt.
While Kevin Owens does share a pretty fun relationship with the Best in the World now, he certainly mocked the Cult of Personality's straight-edge attitude during a live event in New Zealand when he yelled at a fan for wearing Punk's T-shirt. The Prizefighter was suggested to fight in a singlet during his ROH days and while the former Universal Champion blatantly refused the advice, his altercation with CM Punk became stressful.
Since both the superstars portrayed anti-hero's all their careers, many fans indeed want to see them square off in a dream match one fine day; though it seems difficult now.
