10 Most Anticipated CM Punk Matches We Want To See
5. Daniel Bryan
Back in the bittersweet days of 2012 (when John f'n Laurinaitis was headlining shows), Punk and Daniel Bryan wrestled a tremendous series of pay-per-view matches at Over The Limit and Money In The Bank. Both were not-so-gentle reminders to WWE of what was possible when they just let great wrestlers wrestle. Imagine that.
One more time wouldn't hurt.
Bryan's recent preachy eco-warrior gimmick had flashes of Punk's old 'Straight Edge Saviour' about it, and that's one avenue WWE could go down if their feud kickstarted again. A battle of "Who did it better?" would be a storyline that'd give the announcers something to chew on as Punk and Bryan excitedly went about the task of bettering old classics.
It's a random insert, but Chris Jericho vs. Cody at AEW's Full Gear proved there's room for slower-paced matches that tell a story rather than an assembly line of bumps. Punk vs. Bryan's rematch would be exactly that. There's no shame in slowing things down if the psychology is solid enough.
