5 Dream CM Punk matches we never got to see

#2 CM Punk VS. Shawn Michaels

Punk and HBK have crossed paths before but never had a marquee match against each other.

These two did cross paths a few times in the ring.

The first was when Punk was a member of Team DX along with the Hardys and DX.

They opposed Team Rated RKO (Orton, Edge, Mike Knox, Johnny Nitro and Gregory Helms) at Survivor Series in 2006.

Team DX won, but from then on thereafter, Punk and allies of Triple H would be at odds on camera and backstage until Punk left in 2014.

Shawn Michaels is Hunter's best friend, but was retired by the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26 in 2010.

Punk was just starting to become a main event player in WWE, but the stars never aligned for a match between the two.

Michaels did confront Punk during his historic title reign, but they never had a match due to HBK's retirement.

Some fans have always considered a showdown between the two to be a dream match.

It would have main-evented any PPV and even could have closed a Wrestlemania like Punk always wanted.

Michaels is named 'Mr. Wrestlemania' for a reason, and what better way than for Punk to beat him at the Show of Shows?

Both could obviously go in the ring and who knows who would have won.

Both guys could battle on the mic and the intensity could have even been turned up to 11 if Punk mentioned the person Shawn Michaels was before his first quasi-retirement.

It would have been akin to Punk's feud with Jeff Hardy, only Michaels has stayed on the straight and narrow since his troublesome earlier days.

The feud would have been more believable and personal if that was the road it took, rather than just being a random feud.

Michaels has always been seen as one of the all-time greats in the ring and both superstars were among the best of their respective generations.
