1. CM Punk

'The Voice Of The Voiceless' has remained remarkably quiet of late, refusing to speak on his Mixed Martial Arts future after planned late-2017 discussions with Dana White failed to go ahead as planned.

CM Punk was an abject failure in his lone Octagon clash with Mickey Gall at UFC203, though modest in his approach and preparation compared to the confident performer that graced the squared circle over a near-15 year career. There's an easy way for him to get that swagger back.

January 27th 2018 will mark four years to the day since 'The Straight Edge Superstar' walked out of Monday Night Raw, but could a blockbuster return to the scene of the crime just five days before that miserable milestone heal some old wounds? Punk had numerous grievances, but being overlooked for the WrestleMania headline spot was always top of the list. It's a problem that's never been easier to remedy.
