By now, we all know what CM Punk's stance on a potential WWE return is -- he's not interested, at least as of right now. But, if he still wants to fight, he'd be the perfect fit for the WWE MMA idea.

Looking at the roster, there were a few names that stuck out as potential opponents for the ex-WWE Champion, but the one that stood out is Dolph Ziggler, who has a pretty accomplished amateur wrestling background. Also, they could both probably fight each other at welterweight (170 pounds), which is the weight Punk fought at for his two UFC fights.

CM Punk might not be interested in going back to WWE as a pro wrestler, but I'm sure he'd be interested in returning as an MMA fighter if the opportunity were there.

The only question is though: will fans take Punk's third fight seriously after he looked so bad in his first two? We obviously don't know the answer to that, but my guess would be that the fans would still care, especially the WWE fans.
