He would if he came back. He'd be bigger than he was back then. And he was pretty big.

 

[The Gongshow]

While I don't care for Punk or if he ever returns, it would be the next biggest return now that Bryan is making his (in ring return) at Mania. He'd probably be a bit of a draw as well, I'd assume. At least for a little while

 

[ColePens]

Yeah I cannot think of anyone returning to wrestling full time that would have a bigger impact than Punk. He would be huge.

 

[Cor]

He would be a huge draw.

Bryan returning is cool, but I'd still be fine missing SmackDown.

Punk is the only guy that would have me watching every week.

 

[Devilsfan92]

The Rock would be bigger, no?

Punk would be a nice return, but doesn’t he have another fight lined up?

Doesn't count, IMO. It's not realistic and he wouldn't be full time.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

I don’t think CM Punk is very realistic for the foreseeable future either, though. At least The Rock will show up when his schedule allows for a special appearance.

Bryan announced for Greatest Royal Rumble, unsurprisingly

 

[SeidoN]

Big Show is inducting Mark Henry. better reinforce the stage

I wouldn’t be shocked if AJ/Shinsuke is the first match

I hate how true this is.

Looking at this card, it's actually kinda crazy how none of it (minus the battle royals) deserve to be on the pre-show. Even the CW title.

Opening match is so important for the crowd - if the SD tag titles become a ladder match, I could see WM opening to New Day's music. Otherwise, I could also see Bryan/Owens/Zayn opening.

The Rock is so different from when he was actually in WWE full time that I wouldn't care one bit about him ever returning to the company if he truly decided he wanted to. Not that it'd ever happen.

oh god now im sure this is happening

Edge’s last match vs Del Rio for the World Title went on first. They seem to believe putting a “feature match” first and one at the top of every hour is the way to go on such a long show.

 

[BonMorrison]

The card is very heavy and WWE is going to likely want to space out Reigns/Lesnar, Styles/Nakamura, Cena/Undertaker, and Rousey-Angle/HHH-McMahon. It's gonna be interesting to see how they do this. I personally don't see the issue in airing big matches consecutively, Wrestlemania 19 did it and was perfectly fine but also the shows weren't as long back then.

Cena/Taker will likely be slower and not a barn burner - wouldn't mind if they threw it between the World Title matches.

Or just not do a match at all there with regards to Cena/Taker. lol
