Backstage Update On Rumors About CM Punk Vs KENTA At Forbidden Door – As we’ve noted, there have been a lot of rumors on the highly-anticipated CM Punk vs. NJPW Strong Openweight Champion KENTA match finally taking place at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door II later this month.
It was even reported that Punk was not happy with the idea of working with KENTA at the event. You can click here for KENTA’s reaction to the report and comments on the match.
In an update, a new report from PWInsider notes that while the Forbidden Door rumors on Punk vs. KENTA continue, word from tonight’s AEW Collision premiere is that the match is not a done deal, and may not even be the plan for the pay-per-view.
With that said, officials do want Punk to wrestle a match at Forbidden Door but there’s no word yet on who his opponent might be if it’s not KENTA.
With that said, KENTA took to Twitter right after Collison went off the air and said: “Kenta vs Punk is never going to happen.”
No bags were referenced in his tweet, but CM Punk was carrying a bag on AEW Collision where he alluded to the AEW Title being in the bag. Punk never lost the AEW World Title in the ring. He won the belt at AEW All Out 2022 from Jon Moxley, but had to relinquish it due to a triceps injury and being suspended for his role in a backstage altercation with Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson).
