CM Punk Reveals His Dream Team for a Bar Fight

During a recent episode of the “No Contest Wrestling” podcast, wrestling icon CM Punk shared his thoughts on a hypothetical scenario—who he’d want by his side in a bar fight. Given his reputation for being tough both in and out of the ring, his picks have intrigued fans. Let’s take a closer look at the four wrestlers CM Punk would want in this chaotic brawl.

CM Punk’s Top Picks for a Bar Fight Team

In the podcast, Punk was asked which current wrestlers he would choose for a bar fight if he were up against 50 people. His responses reveal a mix of power, skill, and loyalty, blending some of WWE’s most imposing figures with longtime allies.

1. Bron Breakker

CM Punk’s first pick was Bron Breakker, a fast-rising star in WWE known for his intense athleticism and physical dominance. Breakker, with his combination of brute strength and agility, is a natural choice to hold his own in a chaotic fight scenario.

2. Shayna Baszler

The second name Punk mentioned was none other than MMA fighter-turned-WWE superstar Shayna Baszler. As a former UFC fighter with a reputation for submission holds and intense combat skills, Baszler is more than capable of handling herself in a brawl. According to Punk, she’s “his homie,” underscoring their close relationship and trust in each other’s abilities.

3. Braun Strowman

Punk’s third choice was Braun Strowman, the “Monster Among Men.” Strowman is famous for his raw power and size, standing 6’8″ and weighing 385 pounds. Punk joked that Strowman would help make “a hole” if they needed to escape the situation, reflecting his trust in Strowman’s ability to bulldoze through crowds.

4. Samoa Joe

For his final pick, Punk chose Samoa Joe, a name that carries a lot of history with Punk. Although Joe is no longer part of WWE, the two share a close bond from their time together in the early 2000s wrestling circuit. Punk hinted at their past “situations” where they may have encountered similar challenges, making Joe an ideal partner for a rough-and-tumble situation.
