Top WWE star CM Punk appeared on NightCap with Shannon Sharpe and Ochocinco, where he talked about a number of topics including his dream matchups in the company.

Punk said, โ€œOne name always comes to mind, and thatโ€™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. Thatโ€™s a guy that helped get me into this sport from an interest perspective and thatโ€™s a guy who, to this day, I could text Bret right now and be like, โ€˜Whatโ€™s up? I have a question and need some advice.โ€™ Heโ€™ll hit me back right away. Much love to him.โ€

On the current WWE locker room:

โ€œWe 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, heโ€™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 arenโ€™t going to happen but are dream matches, Austin is number one with a bullet.โ€
