Penta El Zero Miedo and CM Punk faced off in the ring on April 13, 2022 during an episode of AEW Dynamite. This encounter marked their first time meeting. Ultimately, Punk emerged victorious in the match.
While appearing on COMIENDO CARNITAS, Penta was asked about the bout. He said,
“There is always a level of discomfort to be the best as a wrestler. Remember my match with CM Punk? I tried to get a good match and Punk was very nice, but my main concern in that match was to prove the world that I can compete on par with Punk competitively and in popularity in the arena, specially with someone maybe was earning 50 times more than I was because of everything he had done in WWE, the indies and everything he had done in the past. He is a smart man in the business and knows every detail known, and my goal with that match against him was to prove my popularity was on par with his and I succeeded.”
