If Punk re-signs, let's presume he's going to need some time to get into suitable ring shape. Of course, if he's coming back his goal is to be WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and no matter who that is, the easiest way to do this is by entering the Royal Rumble. Punk's promo could be fun. Foremost, he gets over the WWE 2K15video game, and then suggests purchasing the WWE Network because "to pay me what Vince is paying me, it's going to cost him a whole lot more than $9.99." Of course, the Rumble is on the Network, so when Hunter, Steph and Kane come out, they're immediately putting over the Network, too. In providing tremendous destination points for certain spikes in WWE business, Punk's return for say, the Royal Rumble, certainly would solve many issues.
