#3 CM Punk VS. Finn Balor

Punk vs. Balor would be a great match with or without 'the Demon'.
Punk vs. Balor would be a great match with or without 'the Demon'.

This feud might not have been the best on the mic due to Balor's limited microphone game.

But in terms of in-ring action, it could be one of the best potential dream matches.

Balor's always had the respect of his peers and the fans when it comes to his in-ring prowess.

It's the people in charge who haven't always had Balor near the top of their pecking order.

He might have had a better WWE run had he not suffered an injury in the same match he won the Universal Title.

Since then, he hasn't held a title but has challenged for them.

Punk had the same sort of battle as Balor in a quest to gain respect from those not deeming either as A+ players.

That would be a perfect impetus for a feud between the two.

Punk could have said something like 'I've been where you are but I'm the Best in the World. What have you done since leaving Japan?'

I'm sure the barbs on his insults would be sharp but Balor would do his talking with his strikes and perhaps the Demon.

The Demon is only dusted off for big matches, and this would have certainly qualified as a big one.

Just picture a match at Summerslam or Wrestlemania between the two. It would even have made sense to have it across multiple PPVs in building to Finn bringing out the Demon.

The action would be great - both love to strike but Balor's quickness would give Punk trouble.

He's fought Rey Mysterio before, so they easily could have had a quality match if Punk was still in WWE.
