Some wrestling fans on Twitter discussed the possibility of seeing John Cena and CM Punk reignite their storied rivalry en route to WrestleMania 39 in Hollywood next year.

The wrestling world has gone berserk since news outlets learned that there's a hold-up between AEW and the Chicago native over the non-compete period, thwarting the two parties from parting ways.

Subsequently, conflicting reports have emerged about Triple H being open to doing business with The Straight Edge Superstar again.

However, an influential figure close to The Game has voted 'a hard no' on the 44-year-old's potential return to his previous stomping grounds.

Regardless of how the situation between AEW and Punk pans out, the Twitterverse has started chewing on dream match scenarios for the Second City Saint if he ever decides to make a comeback in WWE.

Some fans have expressed their burning desire to see CM Punk and John Cena write the final chapter of their legendary feud in the main event of WrestleMania 39.

Others would want the blockbuster match to be a mere squash match ending in '2 minutes and 14 seconds,' which was precisely the match length of Punk's MMA debut.

John Cena crushed CM Punk's dream of headlining WrestleMania in their final meeting

John Cena and CM Punk were among the few WWE bigwigs who defined the 2010s epoch with their unforgettable rivalry over the coveted world championship.

The two men headlined several pay-per-views, with their most memorable high-stakes bout ensuing at Money in the Bank and SummerSlam in 2011.

On both occasions, The Straight Edge Superstar outsmarted The Cenation leader in a battle for the ages.

During the feud, Punk blurred the lines between kayfabe and reality, thus giving birth to an iconic pipebomb promo, which saw him rail against the WWE system and Cena (who was sitting at the top of the pedestal at the time).

Though The Straight Edge Superstar overcame everyone to reach the pinnacle of his WWE career, he couldn't fulfill his long prophecy of headlining the show of shows.

John Cena retaliated in his epic manner by defeating CM Punk on RAW (Feb 25) in 2013 and booked the main event berth with The Rock at WrestleMania 29.

Even though the Chicago-made would go on to face The Undertaker at the Grandest Stage of them all, his dream of headlining WrestleMania remained unfulfilled as he left the company the following year on bad terms.

Should the suspended AEW star return to the global juggernaut someday, it would only be fitting if the two stalwarts headline The Showcase of the Immortals.
