Fantasy Booking CM Punks WWE Return

By Scott Keith on 11th November 2022

Say today it's announced Punk has negotiated his AEW release. Then idk Friday it's announced he's signed with WWE for a year to do some Raws and a few PPVS. In order to get the most out of that run, who do you book him against? For me I'd go..

Possibly his big return as a secret Rumble entrant or as a secret partner of the face team at the upcoming Wargames. Imagine it's Sheamus/New Day/Drew/Mystery partner vs The Bloodline, everyone's in the ring, Bloodline has been beating up for the faces for a few mins. The ringer goes off for the last entrant. Punks music plays, fights off the Bloodline and ends in a state down with Roman. Then you can slow build off that till Mania and do Punk/Roman.

Then at certain points you can do..

Punk/Rollins

Punk/Owens (WWEs version of Punk/MJF basically)

Punk/Styles

Punk/Riddle (Punk as the heel here claiming to be a real MMA fighter would be money)

Then probably end his run at the 2024 Mania against Cody Rhodes? The insider stuff alluding to AEW would be great.

I think maybe he should be fantasy booked to stay home with his wife and maybe get some therapy. I'm over him.
