Punk had his chance then he decided to run his mouth. I would be shocked if he stays with #AEW or if #WWE takes him back. I used to be a fan of his, but after the way he acted at scrum, not a fan anymore.16@ShiningPolaris Sorry I only agree with Cody to be able to dethrone Roman.

Drew got screwed out of his Wrestlemania moment due to the pandemic. Beating Roman would have been a great makeup. Even if Punk came back I still don't think he'd win. Cody is the only legitimate one and MAYBE Seth. #WWE1@ShiningPolaris Should have been Drew McIntyre at Clash at the Castle. Drew got screwed out of his Wrestlemania moment due to the pandemic.

Punk might get a hero's welcome at first, but he should immediately turn heel and I think that would help bolster Cody as a babyface champ, as well.@ShiningPolaris I think it's gotta be Cody, and then have him and Punk feud while Reigns takes a few months away from the ring.

Last year, he fired shots at CM Punk's UFC run and quipped that he would throw him and the AEW roster out of his league:&quot;I’m 6’3”, 265 pounds, a legitimate athlete who can throw some weight around and has been on the gridiron at the highest level. D1. All ACC. I probably would’ve maintained in the NFL if my health issues didn’t happen when I was 22 years old. So, I mean, when it comes down to it, I’ll throw him and pretty much the rest of that roster out the club no problem. They’re just little brothers, you know?&quot; Reigns added.B/R Wrestling@BRWrestlingRoman Reigns shoots on CM Punk 6514656Roman Reigns shoots on CM Punk 👀 https://t.co/Ylkrf8kT7dThe Tribal Chief and The Second City Saint have quite a bit of history with each other since The Shield's early days on the main roster.The two veterans have wrestled one another in a singles match only once, which saw the Head of the Table emerge victorious on the January 6 episode of RAW 2014.Should CM Punk return to WWE down the line, fans would love to see him have a blockbuster rivalry with the Tribal Chief.Who would you like to see dethrone Roman Reigns?
