While nothing is set in stone yet, we can all see the signs already. CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins is probably the biggest match that can happen at this point at WrestleMania 36 and the seeds for the same are already being sown on WWE Backstage.

The main thing that one needs to remember is that if CM Punk were to come back to a WWE ring, there is no chance that he will be booed. And for the same reason, Seth Rollins had to turn heel for this match to be potentially set up.

A heel Seth Rollins can also elevate young babyfaces like Aleister Black and Humberto Carillo. He could have always fight them as a babyface but in this case, there will be a lot more heat associated with the match at hand.

Do you think Seth Rollins will be the perfect comeback opponent for Punk?
