Rumors are circling the wrestling community that WWE officials may be toying with the idea of putting CM Punk in a program with Brock Lesnar upon his return. While nothing is official, and Punk isn’t rushing his return, WWE officials believe that it would be a good program to run with.

This storyline would include either Punk turning on his representative Paul Heyman, or vice versa, to make Punk the obvious babyface in the program with Lesnar. The belief backstage is that Lesnar was brought in to be a heel and a heel only, meaning that Punk would need to be the face. Chances are that Punk would get a face reaction upon his return anyway, and the WWE would just use that momentum to sky rocket him back into a face for a while. The program is being talked about starting late in the summer (if Punk returns by then), in order to set up the Punk/Lesnar matches either at Summerslam or Survivor Series.

With this information only making its way through the rumor mill, always remember that the card is subject to change.
