Ooh, bay-bay.

Returning to WWE, shocking everyone with an NXT appearance and wrestling Adam Cole on a TakeOver special would be so CM Punk. Working with Cole, a man similar to him in so many ways, is something Punk would relish, and there's no doubt that the reigning NXT Champ would get a metaphorical stiffy over it too.

A star with the buzz Punk has would bring some newfound street cred to NXT on the USA Network and possibly bring the ratings up a notch or two in the process. That'd be the rationale behind him ditching Raw or SmackDown in favour of some Full Sail goodness that'd get folks on that Twitter machine talking.

Cole should've proved his abilities to WWE by now (those matches with Daniel Bryan and Seth Rollins were well-received). Against Punk, he'd take things up another level. Score another for the ex-ROH vs. ex-ROH dream matches on this list.
