Remember the time when the IWC was speculating about the debut of AJ Styles in WWE? The massive moment took place at the 2016 Royal Rumble when 'The Phenomenal One' made his way to the WWE ring as a surprise entrant, much to the astonishment of the entire WWE Universe.

If you remember the pop Styles received during his debut, imagine the crowd reaction when the Rumble clock counts down from 10 and "Cult of Personality" blares from the titantron. Even after more than five years of CM Punk leaving the company, the chants of "CM Punk" are still very common at WWE shows, and one can imagine the WWE Universe going berserk, if Punk comes out as a surprise entrant at the Rumble.

One thing fans can be certain of is that if the above scenario does indeed take place, then Punk will surely go on to win the match and might just fulfill his one desire that is yet to come to fruition - a WrestleMania main event. This is exactly the kind of excitement that WWE needs to freshen up its product and gain back its loyal fanbase.
