Cole was recently a guest on the #Dork podcast and discussed his potential matches in the future. When asked about Punk, Cole went on to say:

“That’s my dream match. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it a thousand times, if I had a personal, I am not saying this is the definitive Mount Rushmore, but if I had a personal Mount Rushmore as far as wrestlers who have influenced me, CM Punk is on that list. He made me focus on promos, he introduced me to independent wrestling.

“I never in a million years thought I’d get the chance to maybe step into the ring with him, now the fact that’s a possibility, I’m going to be real sad if I don’t ever wrestle CM Punk.”

Cole certainly opened up on being inspired by Punk in his early days. He also feels like now that he has been signed to AEW, the match is a real possibility and that he will be really sad if Punk vs Cole doesn’t happen while he continues to wrestle.
