10 Most Anticipated CM Punk Matches We Want To See

'Captain Obvious' moment: CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar for the WWE Title would be infinitely better and more satisfying than Lesnar vs. Cain Velasquez.

Fans with Network subscriptions and a keen obsession with recent WWE lore will know Punk's credibility with the belt, and they'd trip over themselves to see him pit his wits against the might of Brock one final time if he returned. There's also that old association with Paul Heyman that'd be ripe for stunning promo work.

Should Punk decide he wants to wrestle again, he'd feel his balls tingle at the thought of facing Lesnar in an MMA-inspired cage on WWE pay-per-view. That, if booked correctly, could give him the WrestleMania main event he's always craved as compensation for his toil, and it's the kind of part-timers clash WWE adore these days.

Just... don't book it in Saudi Arabia, not that there's much chance of that happening anyway. Punk vs. Lesnar would have to be a 'Mania-only kind of collision. Watch SummerSlam 2013's 'No DQ' cracker for proof of Punk's underdog qualities.
