If CM Punk returns, there's one thing WWE MUST DO

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

So I know a lot of fans miss Punk, and hey, I'm starting to as well. There's been a lot of talk about how would they incorporate him into their storylines again, especially after the unceremonious way he left. But I think I've finally come up with something that might work for everybody.

During the next-to-last segment on RAW, HHH and Steph are hyping up the HIAC matches when the lights go out and we then hear that familiar *PSSSHH* sound and the Living Colour opening chords, and Punk arrives. The fans chant his name for at least three minutes, then after it dies down Punk smiles and verbally lays into the Authority. He comments on their failures to stop Bryan's rise, Evolution's disbanding, the 9.99 craze and anything else he can think of. HHH and Steph try to rebuke him and accuse him of being a quitter, but Punk mentions that doctors advised him to take time off and how he's back- and he wants whoever's champ at the end of HIAC. Punk then GTSes HHH, gives Steph a Roddy Piper kiss that sends her running, and he poses in the ring with his music playing.

And then right before the show ends, Cena comes out, AA's him through the announce table and then HIS music plays to end the show.

Hey, when I said "might work for everybody", can't it include me as well?

As long as Hornswoggle comes out from under the ring to dance around Punk's metaphorical carcass, I'm in.

Cole: But why did you do that to Punk, you told us he was your friend!
Cena: My friends are my victims!

[Prince Petty]

Punk comes back as a curtain jerker on Smackdown, loses to Hip Hop Harper in three minutes, and then leaves again. All the while, the crowd chant "AJ Lee", because they're completely bamboozled by Punk's presence.

I was thinking more like:

Punk comes out to break up the Authority's standard boring ass promo in the ring. After like 3 minutes of the crowd going bonkers, he gets into the ring and gets right in HHH's face. He grabs a mic and says calmly, "I accept." Then Steph pulls out one of those giant novelty checks that lotteries use. It says 9.99 Million Dollars on it. She hands it to Punk and they do one of those cheesey photo shots in the ring.

I want this only if they present him with a giant check every week. The endgame is Dean Ambrose pouring gasoline on Punk's bus, which is filled with the giant checks, and setting it on fire. The show ends with Dean looking into the camera and saying "It's true what they say about The Authority. They're always writing... Hot checks."

Entertainment.

Roddy Piper would kiss HHH whilst attacking him and maybe rip his pants off or something, kissing Stephanie is some creepy, lame-ass Jericho bullshit, dude.

I'm pretty sure there was at least one instance of Piper giving Sherri Martel an unwanted kiss during his face run.

Now THAT would make me a permanent fan of his.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

it's gonna take a lot of soul searching by both parts, last time Brock tried to return on 2004 Vince offered him like a rookie deal and lowballed him with money. If he comes back I would like him to acknowledge why he left, not like when Warrior returned, never explaining his absence. Punk would've to be very careful on his dealings with them, because anything could get his wife buried.

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

I actually don't miss Punk. There's a lot of good, over wrestlers around, including injured guys who will actually come back, and he has nothing to offer. The main event face scene is crowded and Punk just doesn't get booed any more. Plus he seems happier and healthier this way.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Alex Riley comes out and sticks the fifty dollars he still owes Punk in his mouth Million Dollar Man style.

*Punk's music hits*

Crowd: "AJ LEE! AJ LEE! AJ LEE! AJ LEE!"

[Shy Guy]

i was hoping the answer was going to be, "give him a pink shirt"

If Punk is willing to swallow his pride, and step aside for guys like Bryan, Reigns, and Ambrose and/or help put guys over (not necessarily jobbing to them), I wouldn't mind having him back. Yeah the main event face scene is crowded, but Punk still has some use. He has cemented his legacy with the pipebomb and 434 Days, and while anything else would be a step down, he'd still have some credibility.

You can easily keep Punk credible by having him go over midcard heels in feuds, and he's a guy that rising heels can be transitioned to post-Cena so that they don't take too far of a drop down the card.

[mizerable]

They need to bring in See' Em Buck...he'd be the most over guy to debut.

Yes, necessarily: jobbing to them.

Bring back the ice cream bars he's always wanted?

they should randomly come back from commercial to him standing in the ring music playing, then it stops and he squashes Zach Ryder or someone or something. The announcers act like he hasn't been gone, Punk acts like he hasn't been gone. the next week he gets inserted in to a storyline with Ryback and no one ever mentions on TV that Punk has been gone.


Perhaps during promos he can do a bait and switch every now and then where it looks like he's about to aknowledge it but never does ie:


"It's so good to be back.......................... here in Detroit, it was such fun last time we were here for Raw"


" after I left................................ for the airport this morning, I realised something, I realised I wanted to wrestle Ryback, and I want to wrestle him now"



"you know I spent some time at home recently.................. it was so nice to have the weekend off to get rejuvenated ready for Raw tonight"


but better than those
