It’s been a few months since CM Punk’s return to WWE after a tumultuous couple of years in AEW. The wrestler called WWE his home long before that, but returning to the company after a 10-year absence means a largely brand-new roster to match him up against in a series of dream matches and feuds.
Punk has never been one to back down from a challenge and has already taken on the biggest stars of his era from John Cena to The Undertaker. So with this second go-around, who would we like to see the self-proclaimed “best in the world” take on next? He’s currently in the mix with a few different talents. However, the Royal Rumble awaits and Punk is looking to finish his own story, with a Wrestlemania main event to his name.
Should he outlast 29 other WWE superstars, win the Rumble, and go on to Wrestlemania, then what? A lot of speculation is brewing about what WWE has in store for Punk, but until any of that comes to fruition, let’s do a little fantasy booking, shall we? You might notice that there is a notable omission: Roman Reigns. Reigns is working an extremely part-time schedule and will probably remain part-time after he eventually loses his Undisputed Universal Championship. It seems likely that WWE is keeping him away from Punk as the two aren’t likely to cross paths ever again.
Here are nine CM Punk feuds WWE needs to deliver on during his new tenure with the company.
