There's no place like home.
Kazuchika Okada, as of this writing, the current IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, recently made headlines when he said in an interview that he wanted to fight CM Punk and Bryan Danielson while they were still active.
CM Punk has never been shy I know it saying that he would like to test himself in New Japan Pro-Wrestling, all the way back in 2011, when he did the infamous pipebomb promo, he even referenced taking the WWE Championship to New Japan back then.
Now, following the comments made by Okada and Okada’s subsequent Championship victory, CM Punk has given “his address” to Okada and has openly invited Okada to “come see him.” The address CM Punk provides in his tweet is actually the address to the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, the same venue where CM Punk made his AEW debut this past August.
Here’s my address, come see me:

In the meantime, CM Punk looks to become AEW World Champion by racking up some wins now that the rankings are reset in AEW.
Okada will look to defend his new championship against Will Ospreay during the second night of Wrestle Kingdom 16, someone who CM Punk has openly mentioned wanting to meet in the ring in the past.
We will have live coverage of Wrestle Kingdom 16 as it happens.
