Former WWE Champion CM Punk was recently fired from AEW, leading to widespread debate about his next move in the pro wrestling world. Many have linked The Second City Saint to a potential return to his old stomping grounds. If true, who should Punk feud with upon his comeback?
Most top superstars on Monday Night RAW are currently part of concrete storylines, except for Cody Rhodes. The 8-time champion has been at odds with The Judgment Day, but he is not expected to feature in a lengthy program with the heel group. Many believe Rhodes dropped a potential hint about feuding with CM Punk on this week's episode of the red show.

Before all this, I was being very respectful, so I went back to get my stuff, and he and I talked back there, and to be honest, he was (…). Phil acted like a b****.
