5 dream matches WWE teased but never delivered

#3. CM Punk vs 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin

Punk and Austin

Two incredibly similar personalities, both known for their brash and no-nonsense demeanor- Austin vs Punk was a dream match fans had been clamoring for ever since Punk rose up the ranks in WWE. Even though Austin had retired from active competition after his defeat at the hands of arch-rival The Rock at WrestleMania 19, WWE teased a match between the two during the promotion of WWE 2K13.

In a sit-down interview hosted by legendary announcer Jim Ross, tensions soared between Punk and Austin to an uncomfortable level. Austin can be seen ordering Punk to "stop looking at him with those little beady eyes". He also told Punk that the only reason he has the WWE Title is that The Rattlesnake hasn't come after him. The two teased a potential match, with Punk asking whether they were still talking about the video game, to which Austin gave a cryptic response.

The two also had a Twitter exchange back on the road to WrestleMania 28, when Punk hinted that he wants to face Austin at WrestleMania 29. Austin had responded positively, stating that he will be ready for Punk. The match never happened though, and Punk took on The Undertaker at MetLife Stadium.
