Who should Cm Punk feud with when he returns to action?

Cm Punk was granted a "month" vacation from WWE, mostly to heal his body and to get rid of some minor injuries. As we all know, Punk has been the second biggest "full-time" performer for WWE the last couple of years. It all started with his famous "pipe-bombs" during the summer of 2011. His epic feud with Cena for the WWE championship catapulted Cm Punk to the "top-star" picture. During his year as a top-player for WWE, Punk has feuded with stars such as John Cena, The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H and Chris Jericho. It is safe to say that WWE can not deliver a great product without their controversial star Cm Punk.

Two weeks before Wrestlemania it was reported that Punk was granted some time to rest up and gain motivation. Alongside with John Cena, Punk has carried the company trough some rather tough times. After his rise to the top in 2011, Cm Punk has had successful runs both as a heel and a face. Before his took some time of, Punk feuded with both The Rock and The Undertaker. His brilliant feud with the Undertaker will be remembered for a long time. But now Punk has been away for only three weeks (Beside one appearance on Raw), and fans are already missing him. What will he do when he returns, and who should he feud with? Here are some suggestions:

1) Triple H
At Night Of Champions in 2011, Cm Punk had an epic showdown with his boss Triple H. During their feud Triple H was running the company (Storylined though), and Punk clearly had some issues with that. Their feud was also including Kevin Nash who interfered at the end of their match. Even though Punk kicked out of two pedigrees and one "little jimmy", he ended up losing the match to Triple H. After Kevin Nash delivered a thunderous Jack Knife Powerbomb (his finisher), Triple was able to pick up the pieces and won the match after he hit a third pedigree.

After their short feud, Punk and Triple H teamed up to fight against The Awesome Truth (R Truth and The Miz). The Awesome Truth was considered the best tag team around that time, and their heel tactics left the locker room frightened. This was though a lackluster feud which ended with a victory for The Awesome Truth (At Vengeance 2011). After this feud ended, Punk and Triple H went on to feud with other stars such as Chris Jericho and The Undertaker. But their feud never got a real ending.

Punk lost the match because of outside interference. Many fans was left disappointed with the feeling that Triple H once again buried another rising star. Triple H had nothing to gain by winning their match, and it all ended up with Punk getting a scratch on his momentum.

When Cm Punk returns he should target Triple H once again. Vince's son in law should put over Punk this time! Because a possible feud between these two could end up with Triple H turning heel, while Punk could return as a top-face again. WWE is lacking top face stars after Ryback turned heel post-Wrestlemania. Only John Cena and Sheamus can be considered as top-faces now, because Randy Orton has struggled for a long time in the mid-card scene. While Daniel Bryan and Kane is stuck in the tag-team scene.

A heel Triple H would be a great path for the WWE to take. He could return occasionally feuding with rising stars, and help putting them over. Who wouldn't love to see Triple H abuse his powers, just like Vince used to do back in the days (Storyline wised). If Punk defeated Triple H short after his return, his status would catapult to new heights once again, and he would have another big-name victory on his resume.

Make this one happen!

2) Ryback
If Ryback manages to win the WWE-title from John Cena, Cm Punk could be the one who could target Ryback. Ryback would play the heel, while Punk would return as a face. This is another top-feud which never got a true ending. When Punk played the heel he never defeated Ryback cleanly. When Ryback was feuding with Punk he had another feud at the same time with The Shield. In two out of three title-matches between Ryback and Punk, The Shield interfered and attacked Ryback.

These two has proven that they can deliver some good matches with each other (Punk could deliver a five-star match with a damn chair though). If they refreshed their feud with opposite roles, this could be something that fans would love to see.

3) Brock Lesnar
Once again Punk has to return as a face if this one is going to work. This would be a top-feud including Paul Heyman. The storyline could be that both men was fighting to get Heyman for themselves. In this feud Punk could even lose and still look strong. If he lost this match, Heyman would have to turn on him, which ultimately would make him a face.

This is a match many of us would love to see. Punk has proven that he is one of few "regular" guys that can actually put up a fight against a big-man. In this case his tremendous cleverness would collide against Lesnar's brutal powers!

4) Randy Orton
This feud happened in 2011 and ended at Wrestlemania 27. But back then Cm Punk was only considered as a regular heel-star, while Orton was considered the second-biggest star of the company. Now two years later their roles are pretty much reversed. Orton is nothing more than a mid-card face, while Punk has been the companies second biggest full-time star for two years. If this feud happened, it could help Orton back to the main event scene again. Only this time Orton would have to play the heel, while Punk could return as a top face star. If Orton targeted Punk, he would ultimately be considered as a heel, because Punk has one of the biggest fan-bases within the WWE-universe.

Both men are great performers and talkers, plus they have a history. This could be a great feud for Punk to return to!
