5 former superstars the WWE should've brought back for the Raw 25th anniversary

#1 CM Punk

It's about time that he returned to the WWE

Ever since Punk walked out of the WWE in 2014, the fans were clamouring to see the second city saint return to the squared circle once again.

Even after his departure from the company, we can still hear the fans chant his name on the shows, especially in Chicago. CM Punk is undeniably the best superstar of the WWE's PG Era. The WWE higher-ups themselves acknowledge this as we saw Punk's pipe bomb promo get the 2nd spot in the WWE's pick of the 25 greatest moments in Raw history.

After his departure from the WWE, Punk tried his luck in the octagon to no avail as he suffered a quick defeat against Mickey Gall at UFC 203. Since then, speculations of him returning to the WWE were going on high but it hasn't come to fruition until now.

The 25th-Anniversary show of Raw would've been the perfect opportunity for the WWE to bring back the straight edge superstar. But the opportunity was missed and we will have to wait to find out how long would it take for Punk to make his return to the WWE.

But for now, we can only hope the highly anticipated return happens this Sunday at the 2018 Royal Rumble.
