6 WWE Fan Theories More Interesting Than the Actual Story-line

#1 CM Punk vs. The Rock at Wrestlemania 29:

The Rock and CM Punk at Raw 1000

The Rock announced on Raw 1000 that he would challenge the WWE Champion for the Championship at Royal Rumble 2013. The Rock and then WWE Champion CM Punk even had an interesting promo battle and CM Punk also attacked him before the end of the episode as he thought that The Rock was making everything about himself. It started becoming evident that The Rock would be facing CM Punk at Royal Rumble but some fans had a better theory in mind. According to this theory, John Cena would take the WWE title from CM Punk at some point before Royal Rumble which would result in The Rock winning the title from John Cena while Punk would go on to win the Rumble. Thus, a CM Punk vs. The Rock match would have taken place on the Grandest Stage of them all, Wrestlemania. The promo exchange between Punk and Rock at Raw 1000 had been quite impressive and a feud leading to a Wrestlemania match would have been a good idea. The hype around the fight and the build-up with epic promos between two of the best talkers of WWE would have surely been huge.

The actual story-line was quite predictable. CM Punk held on to the title till Royal Rumble. He lost it to The Rock at Royal Rumble and The Rock dropped the title to the Royal Rumble 2013 match winner, John Cena to give Cena back his win from the previous year’s Wrestlemania. This storyline was good too and it worked in the sense that we wouldn’t have gotten a 434-day reign for CM Punk as the champ if he had lost the title to Cena before the Royal Rumble. It would have been difficult for John Cena too to agree to lose to The Great One for the second year in a row and we still got to witness some electrifying Punk/Rock promos during their feud in January and February.
