Booking CM Punk's WWE Return

1. WrestleMania 34

On the road to WrestleMania 34, Roman Reigns finally turns heel (properly) by betraying his fellow Shield members and aligning himself with Vince McMahon and Triple H, who look to the Big Dog as the last line of defence against CM Punk getting everything his own way.

In New Orleans, Punk insists on the same level of security around his match that Stephanie McMahon had demanded months earlier at Survivor Series. This is a clear message to his employers that he can beat their de facto "face of the company" clean, and prove that they were wrong to overlook him all those years ago.

Sure enough, Punk gets the clean win on the Grandest Stage of Them All, taking Roman's Universal title in the process.

And they all live happily ever after (no, we're kidding - Punk quits two months later after a bust-up with Triple H).
