CM Punk is coming off a big victory over Seth Rollins in the main event of WWE Raw on Netflix premiere.
Punk has shared the ring with many greats over the years, including The Rock, The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, and John Cena.
Appearing on NightCap with Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco, Punk was asked for his dream matches if he could pick anyone in history.
"One name always comes to mind, and that’s Stone Cold Steve Austin. Unfortunately, he had to retire because of injuries, and he had a stroke, but Bret Hart is another one. Bret Hart would be a dream for me because that is a guy I looked up to when I was a kid. That’s a guy that helped get me into this sport from an interest perspective and that’s a guy who, to this day, I could text Bret right now and be like, ‘What’s up? I have a question and need some advice.’ He’ll hit me back right away. Much love to him. We have a pretty wealthy locker room when it comes to talent right now. There are a lot of people I would love to get in there with Gunther, he’s the champ on Raw. Would love to mix it up with my boy Cody (Rhodes). As far as legends go, the ones that probably aren’t going to happen but are dream matches, Austin is number one with a bullet," he said.
Punk and Austin appeared on-screen together on the June 13, 2011 episode of WWE Raw.
