New Japan Pro Wrestling star KENTA has officially called out CM Punk, saying that he is ready to put the All Elite Wrestling star “to sleep.”
Famously, KENTA was the originator of the Go 2 Sleep move that CM Punk has been using as his finishing move ever since he joined WWE.
Speaking following NJPW Power Struggle, he said: ‘I am the new IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. I don’t know if you guys remember what I said. But when I came to New Japan in 2019, I said I’m here to prove who I am.
“After three years, I finally proved who the f**k I am! I’m the United States Champion. I just want to entertain you guys. I want to give you guys hope. Hey CM Punk; I’m ready to put you to sleep” KENTA concluded.
