10 Most Anticipated CM Punk Matches We Want To See

7. Roman Reigns

Leave any random Roman Reigns bashing at the door for a minute, haters, because this is one match that WWE would need to book. They didn't get the chance before Punk said 'Cya, bye' to Vince McMahon and Triple H in 2014, and they would only have a short window to make it happen in 2020.

Impetus for the feud could come from Roman's blood ties with old foe The Rock, or some heelish claims from Punk that he was responsible for Reigns even getting a shot on the main roster to begin with (as part of The Shield in 2012). That's the kind of 'Big Dog' baiting tale WWE love, so it makes sense to stick with that theme.

Yep, Punk would be in his element as a smart-assed 'Voice Of The Haters'.

He was once the internet phenom Reigns will never be. If WWE want to use that story thread, it's there, and so is the fact that Roman headlined four WrestleMania supercards in a row, whereas Punk has never even main-evented one.
