10 Dream Opponents For CM Punk In WWE

Consider this a selfish wishlist item from your writer.

It feels like a lifetime ago that CM Punk and Brock Lesnar clashed in a 'No DQ' match at SummerSlam 2013. That pay-per-view happened over 10 years ago now! Back then, nobody thought anyone would be discussing any sort of rematch a full decade on, but it's funny how things change.

Brock is a much smarter worker than he was in 2013 - he'd make sure the match was high quality, and Punk would be motivated to show off his skills when brawling against a much larger dude. That scrappy underdog thing has always suited CM, to be totally honest.

Punk going one on one with Lesnar at WrestleMania (or perhaps as the headliner for some 'B' level PLE after the fact) could be tons of fun. They've got history WWE can plunder, and both have MMA backgrounds that could play a role in the story too.
