9. CM Punk
Given how popular and influential CM Punk was from 2011 to 2014, it does seem rather blasphemous that he didn’t manage to win the Royal Rumble match or main event WrestleMania during that time. Sure he was WWE Champion at the time of the Rumble event in 2012 and 2013 but still, book something else, find a way.
Anyone but Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble in 2014 would have likely been a tough sell for that crowd in Pittsburgh but maybe I’m crazy for thinking CM Punk would have been a more welcomed second choice than Mr. Hinx over here.
What’s even crazier to ponder, though, is that CM Punk would have been a more than fitting choice to win the Rumble earlier as well. As the leader of the Straightedge Society, Punk was the best working heel in WWE from 2009 to 2010 and was incredibly underutilized at the time.
As he said in his Best in the World DVD, the best good guy should fight the best bad guy at the biggest show of the year and you could easily make the argument that Punk qualified for much of his career. Shoulda won the Rumble. What a robbery.
