WWE Extreme Rules: 10 Things Overly Optimistic Fans Hope Will Happen

9. CM Punk Will Return

As long as CM Punk is under WWE contract, which he is until July 2014, the possibility of him showing up on WWE programming is there. While we don't know it for sure, there could come a day where he decides he misses things and wants to come back. Since he's apparently now engaged to WWE diva AJ Lee and she'll be on the road with the company soon, he may want to come back to spend more time with her too. It was obvious he needed a break. Perhaps he feels it's the right time to return. Punk has been gone from WWE since the night after January's Royal Rumble and there's no way of knowing if he wants to come back three months after he went home. However, if he did return there would be a huge spike in interest in the WWE product from those fans that missed him as well as those that are mad at him for leaving. If he returned there's a lot he could do from starting a feud with Cesaro, helping or going against Daniel Bryan or going after Triple H. There's no shortage of potential rivalries for Punk should he return. It would be an awesome moment to see him talking and it would also create a lot of buzz, which is something WWE always loves to do.
