CM Punk & KENTA’s long-standing, lengthy distance feud over the GTS re-entered the wrestling dialog earlier this month when the transfer’s Japanese inventor claimed he was not pursuing a match in opposition to the Chicagoan who he admits he stole it. KENTA would nonetheless do the match, however just for a giant pile of money. He not wanted it.

The timing was curious, as Punk’s return to AEW after a nine-month absence had simply been introduced for the premiere of Collision, and Forbidden Door — AEW’s crossover occasion with KENTA’s promotion New Japan Professional-Wrestling — was the week after that. Positive sufficient, a report surfaced saying the 2 corporations had mentioned reserving KENTA vs. Punk for that June 25 PPV in Toronto.

In his response to that rumor, KENTA doubled-down on his stance, tweeting that Tony Khan would wish to GIVE HIM THE BAG to work a match with Punk at Forbidden Door. We didn’t hear something about it for a couple of week, however after Punk’s huge comeback Saturday night time (June 17) in Chicago, KENTA despatched this out:

Which both means Khan didn’t current him with a big sufficient bag, or that KENTA’s placing in further work to maintain some stuff they’ve deliberate for this week a secret. Fan response appears to be cut up between making jokes concerning the former chance (full with references to the literal bag Punk introduced with him to Collision a pair night time in the past), and betting it’s the latter.

Chime in together with your joke and/or prediction under.
