#4 Part-time contract

Punk's stint in the MMA world during UFC was short, but UFC's schedule is a lot lighter than WWE's

The main reason why Punk left the WWE was that of the full-time schedule of always having to be on the road was clearly taking a toll on his body. We are seeing major draws such as Brock Lesnar and John Cena take part-time contracts so that they can also fulfill duties out of the ring, so why couldn't Punk do the same?

This would definitely be perfect for Punk's health because it would allow him to wrestle with a schedule that is more efficient for his body. It would also eliminate the possibility of overexposure to keep Punk fresh, and he would always remain a big deal each time he would make an appearance.

At UFC 181, Punk shocked the entire world by signing a multi-fight contract with the UFC. It was evident that Punk wanted to try something new, and one reason why he went to UFC was the fact that their schedule is a lot lighter than WWE's. Of course, Punk had to train hard for his MMA bouts, but he didn't constantly have to be on the road all the time in UFC, unlike WWE.

Having him only appear at the big 4 PPV events could be the best way to go, and you could maybe have him compete occasionally at the B-Level events if he is really needed. Opportunities to compete in other countries such as Saudi Arabia for a possible Crown Jewel event to win WWE's version of the World Cup, or even having him appear in Australia for The Super Show-Down could be possible.

Without a shadow of a doubt, if Punk ever returned, he would immediately be the biggest deal in the company. Protecting Punk's health with a lighter schedule could work wonders for him.
