KENTA Says He Wants To Wrestle CM Punk

[Kemo]

KENTA (FKA Hideo Itami) recently turned his back on Katsuyori Shibata and joined Bullet Club. He and his new teammates beat down Shibata on the final night of the G1 Climax 29 earlier this month.

KENTA was asked online about a dream match he would like to have. He indicated he wants to wrestle CM Punk one day.

I want to have match
VS @CMPunk

KENTA made the following statement to the Daily Star in 2011 regarding CM Punk using the GTS as his finisher: “Please list him on the wanted list as he stole my move.”

In 2015, Punk and Itami briefly interacted online again over Punk using the GTS.

@MattJackson13 that was my formula. Sans the kicks. I'd never steal someone's finish.

KENTA joined NJPW earlier this year and took part in the G1 Climax 29 tournament this summer. He spoke to NJPW about his decision to sign with the promotion.

“Now New Japan goes worldwide,” KENTA said. “I want to show my wrestling to the world as KENTA, not Hideo Itami. I want to show my wrestling to the world and New Japan goes worldwide, US, UK, everybody knows New Japan. So, I decided New Japan.”
