#1 - CM Punk
This is probably the most obvious one, as CM Punk's in-ring return will be a huge deal no matter which company he ends up wrestling for. Of course, the big question is: does he even want to wrestle? The fact that he didn't show up at All In, which was in his hometown of Chicago, probably suggested that he's not interested in returning anytime soon.
Also, we don't know if he's planning on continuing his mixed martial arts career now that he's officially 0-2 as a pro-MMA fighter. If he chooses to continue fighting, he'll probably get a big money offer from Bellator. But if he announces his retirement from MMA, that could indicate a return to pro wrestling at some point.
Back in 2011, Punk set out to change WWE for the better, and in his own mind, he ended up falling short of that goal. But, if he were to make a return to the indie scene, he could end up forcing WWE to make some changes, especially if these indie shows, with the help of the ex-WWE star, begin to draw 10,000 plus fans on a more regular basis.
