10 Most Anticipated CM Punk Matches We Want To See

8. Kevin Owens

More Ring Of Honor-inspired fun or something more? WWE could decide.

Both have been heavily linked to the legendary Steve Austin over the years. Photos of a young Punk posing for pics with Austin as a fan leaked out during his earlier run with the promotion, and Kevin Owens has been using the Stunner as his finish recently. That story writes itself.

Imagine a battle of Austin ties with 'Stone Cold' as the special referee. As much as that may be overkill for Punk's first match back, it'd work for his second or third and shake things up a bit. Plus, it's the closest people are ever going to get to that dream Austin vs. Punk scenario that was once the talk of fantasists everywhere.

KO has spoken in interviews about how some feuds don't inspire him. Punk would remedy that, and Owens would be a fine opponent for the one-time 'Straight Edge Saviour'. If given the right tools, they'd lick their chops at the thought of working together.
