10 Biggest Matches WWE Can Book In 2018

2. CM Punk Vs AJ Styles

What a coo it would be for WWE to promote the 'Best In The World' against...well, possibly the actual best in the world.

Whilst New Japan Pro Wrestling are selling Chris Jericho Vs Kenny Omega under the same pretence, it will take something incredibly special from a talent even as magnificent as 'The Cleaner' to have the match deliver on lofty expectations. The task at hand for 'The Phenomenal One' wouldn't be nearly as tough.

About to toast three years free of WWE, CM Punk remains entangled in an ugly legal battle following comments made about the company's in-house medic on an explosive podcast post-mortem in late-2014. Would a return to the fold be at this point the most sensible settlement?

Despite how the Survivor Series main event played out, the company has changed in many of the ways Punk desperately foretold in the years preceding his livid exit from the empire. The very fact this contest could believably headline WrestleMania (a feat the 'Voice Of The Voiceless' so desperately desired) is the biggest sign of all.
