5 former superstars WWE should bring back for the Royal Rumble

#1 CM Punk

It's about time that CM Punk returns to the WWE

Take what I said about Alberto Del Rio, multiply it by 10 times, and that's CM Punk for you. The Straight Edge superstar is the most sought out name in professional wrestling when you speak about returns. The fans have been waiting for CM Punk to return to the squared circle ever since he walked out of the WWE in 2014. We can hear the fans still chant his name even after his departure from the company.

We know it won't be easy for both punk and the WWE to reach an agreement on the former's return, but it's the WWE we're talking about and if Goldberg and Brock Lesnar can return to the company after leaving on similar bad terms with the promotion, so can CM Punk.

The WWE universe had made their intentions very clear in the past that they indeed want to see the straight edge superstar in the WWE once again, and if both Punk and WWE can call it a truce, there may be no better time than the 2018 Royal Rumble match.

Imagine Paul Heyman coming out to the ramp and introduce a returning CM Punk to the Philly crowd, it would be the loudest pop that the WWE would've seen in decades. We just have to contemplate that in our minds until it becomes a reality, and we don't have to wait long to find that out as the Royal Rumble is just a few weeks away.
