5 superstars who could appear on the 25th anniversary of WWE Raw

#1 CM Punk

CM Punk's return could set the stage on fire

'The Best in the World' is perhaps the most influential wrestling icon of the modern era. The man has developed a cult following among hardcore wrestling fans and was pivotal in making WWE a more marketable place to choose for the independent wrestlers. Despite him leaving the company 4 years back on very unfortunate terms, the WWE Universe still continues to chant his name continuously with the hope of a blockbuster return someday.

It is highly unlikely that 'The Straight Edge' superstar will ever change his opinion on a return and with his ongoing legal battle with the company, it only adds fuel to the fire that Punk does not have any interest in a potential return.

But, WWE's recent acknowledgement of CM Punk does indicate that they still recognize his immense contribution to the wrestling business. The company recently held a special edition dedicated to the 25 most historical moments of Monday Night Raw and ironically, Punk's pipe bomb promo took the no. 2 slot. The pipe bomb is still considered the most iconic and popular unscripted promos of all time.

Despite the unfortunate differences between the company & Punk, WWE's sudden recognition of his pipe bomb promo only makes sense that there could be a surprise appearance that awaits the WWE Universe. Well, if by any means, the WWE is able to mend fences with 'The Best in the World', then it could be one of the most mind-boggling and spine-chilling returns, in the history of professional wrestling.
