7. CM Punk & The Straight Edge Society Vs. John Cena & The Rock At Wrestlemania 27 Should've Happened
The Undertaker's No Holds Barred match versus Triple H should've main evented Wrestlemania 27 (and Hell in a Cell between the two with Shawn Michaels shoud've main evented Wrestlemania 28). Of course, as a semi main event, John Cena calling on The Rock to assist him in fending off the then likely-unstoppable Straight Edge Society would've made sense. Punk terrorizing WWE during all of 2010, and say - after losing Serena, Joey Mercury and Luke Gallows from the group and being traded to Raw - recruiting The Big Show as his Straight Edge Society partner-in-crime after spouting straight edge propaganda as an announcer on Raw for a few months as a commentator. The Big Show and Punk taunting Cena, and maybe causing him to lose his WWE Championship to The Miz (causing the feud to escalate into high gear) would've been cool. Then, Cena calling on the one man he knew who was more charismatic, engaging and worth following than CM Punk to team with him at Wrestlemania would've made for great television.
