Since CM Punk returned at the Survivor Series PLE this year, the WWE Universe has been pitching him against different names in the promotion. Some fans want to see him go against Roman Reigns, while others want him to start a rivalry with Seth Rollins.

But one superstar that the WWE Universe has been dying to witness fight Punk is none other than WWE legend, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. It is a dream match that many fans have wanted to see for decades. And this year it might just happen, building from Royal Rumble and ending with an epic WrestleMania clash.

CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin has been teased for decades

During Punk’s first stint in WWE, the promotion teased a potential field between him and Austin, during various backstage segments. Even more, the two hinted at the beginning of a rivalry during the promotion of the WWE ’13 video game.

However, the plan never materialized as Austin retired at WrestleMania 19 in 2003 due to a severe neck injury. Moreover, all hopes died when ‘The Best in the World’ left WWE in 2014 because of a fallout with the company. But now both the superstars are back.

WWE could plan to bring ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ back at Royal Rumble and have him eliminate Punk (who is one of the contestants of the match). This could lead to the start of a rivalry between the two, reaching its end with a match at WrestleMania 40. 

Will the fans get the dream match they have been waiting for?

Austin had an early retirement from the wrestling business due to his injured neck. But after staying away from the in-ring competition for 19 years, he returned to the squared circle in 2022 to face Kevin Owens at WrestleMania 38. he not only put in a fabulous performance but also won the match.

Punk vs. Austin was a significant topic of discussion before last year’s WrestleMania. At the time, there was uncertainty surrounding Punk’s AEW status because of the media scrum fiasco that happened during All Out. Fans speculated he would sign with WWE to face ‘Stone Cold’ but in vain.

Lately, ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ has been keeping up in good shape. Plus, ‘The Second City Saint’ is also back with WWE. So there is no reason why WWE won’t capitalize on this dream match. Do you think WWE will make Punk vs. Austin happen this year at Mania? Tell us your thoughts.
