It was a pleasant sight to see The Voice of The Voiceless return to a role that involves WWE on Tuesday Nights during WWE Backstage on FS1. The wrestling world has been buzzing with how the return of The Best In The World could be the beginning of something big, and as wrestling enthusiasts, we can agree with that feeling.
The longest reigning champion was with WWE until early 201 until a bitter split occurred. However, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon apologized to the former Paul Heyman Guy on Steve Austin Show and it seemed like the two will bury the hatchet and come to terms of an agreement.
The day is finally upon us as after 5 years, CM Punk appeared on WWE Backstage. While it is speculated that CM Punk is currently working only with FOX, we may see the former Nexus and Straight Edge Society leader jump ship and step foot inside a ring.
Trending
This would be a moment in time when everyone would be anxiously waiting for the former ECW Champion to show up and deliver anonther infamous promo. The "Pipe Bomb" promo is one of the most highly regarded of all time, and that is why it would be nice to see him step foot inside a WWE ring, and take on wrestlers that will only add to the entertainment.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
With that in mind, let's look at 5 wrestlers who would be a perfect opponent for CM Punk, and in case you have some ideas, feel free to drop them in the comments section for the readers' kind perusal:
#5 CM Punk vs The Fiend
CM Punk has worked with Husky Harris and Bray Wyatt, but the former WWE Champion has never stepped foot with The Fiend. It is one of the most appreciated characters currently in wrestling, and in case these two decide to reignite their rivalry, fans will be in for a treat.
The fact that both can put on great promos, and especially the Firefly Fun House version of Wyatt doing all the talking for The Fiend, one can only imagine what would happen when these two decide to step between the ropes.
#4 CM Punk vs Kevin Owens
CM Punk is a veteran in the ring and on the microphone. His potential adversary, Kevin Owens, is equally talented if not better, and one can only imagine what will happen when they come head to head. The fact that The Prizefighter is currently a babyface could take this match out of the equation for now, but we know that Kevin Owens can play a babyface and a heel well as can CM Punk, so that could easily change.
The fact that these two have never fought inside a WWE ring together would serve as the perfect reason why this match would be a treat for all. Kevin Owens has the fans by his side, and CM Punk is a master at anything that he does. A feud between these two will be the right way to entertain the fans, and we all know that they can elevate the storyline to a level that is unheard of in the business.

#3 CM Punk vs Aleister Black
Aleister Black has cut multiple promos asking WWE wrestlers to pick a fight with him, and no one except Cesaro has done that. It would be interesting to see CM Punk pick a fight with Mr. Black as he can not only make this storyline interesting but the character as well, which has become stagnant.
CM Punk knows how to bring out the best in a wrestler, and with this prowess, The Voice of The Voiceless can serve as the perfect opponent. It would be a fight that will serve as a pedestal or stepping stone for Aleister Black, who is currently doing promos from an undisclosed location.
It could be an amazing storyline that will keep the fans involved, and this may be the perfect way to bring out the best from a wrestler like Black that has a lot to offer to the business. It is a win-win situation for the company.

#2 CM Punk vs Seth Rollins
CM Punk showed up on television just a few hours ago, and some wrestlers are challenging him for a match already. Seth Rollins and CM Punk did cross paths in NXT when the former was the NXT champion and the latter was a WWE Champion. These two did fight, but Seth was a part of The Shield at that time, but he's on his own right now. It's also worthwhile to note that it was revealed that CM Punk was the man behind the debut of The Shield.
He was looking to find his place at that time, however, he is a respected wrestler now, and if these two decide to settle their differences between the ropes, the fans will be in for some remarkable moves.
A GTS behind countered with a Stomp would make the entire storyline worth the time. The WWE Universe would get some great storytelling by their side when the bell rings, and the match is over.
The final one is a must...
#1 CM Punk vs Shane McMahon
CM Punk, called himself the"Best In The World" for years, and many agreed. Since he left WWE, however, nobody else help that moniker... until Shane McMahon decided to use it after he won the WWE World Cup tournament at WWE Crown Jewel almost exactly one year ago. "The Voice of The Voiceless" never paid heed to this claim, but now that he is involved with the company again through WWE Backstage, he may have concerns with it.
It may not be long before he calls out The Prodigal Son and questions his claim on the name. It could be a great story to see Shane and Punk to settle their differences in the ring with the winner officially being crowned "Best In The World".
A match between these two talented superstars would be a big deal, and we would have to wait and see how, and if, this were to occur. Both men have the promo skills that can fill an arena and the "Pipe Bomb" promo took shots at Shane and his entire family, so there would be a lot of anticipation for the fight. The men would put forth an adrenaline-pumping performance to decide not on who gets to call themselves the Best, but also to settle a score that runs very deep.
