Booking CM Punk's WWE Return

5. Survivor Series

The main event sees The Shield reunite (they're all on the same brand now so it's only a matter of time before they pull the trigger on this one) alongside The Hardys to take on a heavy heel blend of Strowman, Samoa Joe, Bray Wyatt, Neville and Big Cass, in a traditional five-on-five elimination match.

A straight face-versus-heel bout won't do, though - so we need to up the stakes. The heel team are backed by Stephanie McMahon, with control of Monday Night Raw up for grabs for the winners (yeah, it's something of a rehash of Survivor Series past, but it's a tried and tested formula).

Being that the stakes are so high, Stephanie demands that security maintain a tight-ship while the match is in progress - that means nobody gets into the arena, and more pressingly to ringside, without their say so.

After eight are eliminated, the match comes down to Roman and Joe, who slug it out for 10 minutes uninterrupted before- WHAT'S THIS? CM Punk's music hits and he begins walking down the ramp, the security detail inexplicably parting like the red sea.

He climbs in the ring and makes short work of the two exhausted competitors. The bell sounds - no contest.
