Joe Hendry Picks CM Punk for Dream World Title Match in Scotland
Joe Hendry said his dream scenario is a world championship match in his home country of Scotland. The WWE Raw star named CM Punk as the opponent he would want in that match. Hendry, a former TNA World Champion and NXT Champion, has yet to face Punk on WWE's main roster.
Hendry, a Scottish WWE Raw performer, has already captured the NXT Championship this year and previously held TNA's top title. A main-roster championship remains missing from his résumé, and he has not yet met CM Punk in a WWE ring.
Punk currently sits near the top of SmackDown, while Hendry works in Raw's mid-card, making a crossover match harder to arrange. Hendry has cited Punk, Randy Orton, and Cody Rhodes as figures he studies as he tries to climb.
Hendry's comments could energize Scottish wrestling fans and WWE viewers who enjoy cross-brand dream matches. A Scotland-based world title bout may boost local interest and live-event demand, while also giving Hendry a clearer main-roster goal. For CM Punk, such a pairing could introduce his star power to newer audiences. The outcome remains speculative, as brand rosters and booking plans may change.
