CM Punk: 10 Ways He Could Still Appear At WrestleMania 30

6. Down The Middle

On the March 31 episode of Monday Night Raw, Triple H is quite proud of himself €“ he's managed to make Daniel Bryan's life a living hell and he's quite confident of victory over the popular superstar at WrestleMania. Plus, just for an added advantage heading into the show of shows, HHH has booked quite the Raw main event €“ a handicap match, pitting Bryan against both Orton and Batista. Bryan does his best in the match, and Orton and Batista do have trouble getting along, but in the end, it's two on one €“ Batista nails Bryan with the Batista Bomb, then Orton lifts him up and drives him into the canvas with the RKO to get the pin. The two former members of Evolution eye each other suspiciously, then turn and leave. Bryan stumbles to his feet, disoriented, just in time for Triple H's music to hit. The COO comes to the ring, clearly looking for a fight. Before he reaches the ring, though, a familiar voice plays over the P.A. system. "Hey, Hunter... Hunter!" Triple H stops in his tracks, shudders, and turns around. The fans begin to cheer, and their cheers turn to riotous glee when CM Punk steps out onto the stage, clad in a sweatshirt and shorts. "I know everybody always says this, but damn, it really is good to be back. But on to business, Hunter... seriously? You used to be THHHHEEE GAMMMEEE, and now you're afraid of a fair fight? See, I know what you're capable of better than anybody €“ and as good as my buddy Daniel is, it's hard to win against a guy who's making up the rules as he goes along. So... I went to the WWE Board of Directors and suggested a special referee for your match at WrestleMania. I made a suggestion, and they listened..." Punk takes off his sweatshirt, and underneath he's wearing his white "Best in the World" t-shirt €“ with black vertical lines spray-painted down it! Triple H fumes as the fans chant "Yes! Yes! Yes!" At WrestleMania, Daniel Bryan's got a fighting chance.
