After capturing the vacant WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event, CM Punk looks ahead to his next big challenge.
From matches that would be enjoyable one-off bouts to other full blown feuds that could be coming soon, there could be some very intriguing storylines on the horizon for CM Punk.
Here are eight potential future WWE World Heavyweight Title challengers for CM Punk.
8. Finn Balor

With CM Punk taking over the reigns as World Heavyweight Champion on WWE Raw, there could be a unique opportunity for some fascinating feuds.
One such option could be to see Punk’s first challenger of this reign end up being a former Universal Champion, Finn Balor.
Getting his first crack at a singles title in quite some time after holding the WWE World Tag Team Championship with JD McDonagh, perhaps the duo’s recent loss of the titles could be to make way for a singles push for Balor.
With both Balor and Punk’s veteran in-ring skills as well as storytelling abilities, a TV match between these two could be the perfect first fight for Punk.
