I never knew the full story there. That is really interesting. I'm sure I know some, but they don't come to mind right now.
See, I have no way of knowing these for sure, but I'm fairly certain that William Regal would have ended up as WWE Champion sometime in 2008 if he didn't get suspended during his MONSTER heel push. The dude was General Manager of RAW, King of the Ring and abusing his power left, right and centre. It just seemed right that he used his evil King GM powers to put himself in a slanted match against a WWE Champion and walk out victor (somehow). It also would have made sense for CM Punk to cash in his Money in the Bank title shot against William Regal, and score one over the evil GM who defeated him in the King of the Ring Tournament.
Granted, all of this may not have happened -- but it seemed so obvious at the time. Regal had been involved in storylines with Triple H, CM Punk (and has backstage connections with both of them) and even Vince McMahon.
It just would have been interesting to see how the WWE would have gone with William Regal as a heel WWE Champion, CM Punk as a face WWE Champion (as opposed to World Heavyweight Champion), and all that jazz.
CM Punk has actually been involved in another. It would have been interesting to see how ECW, the ECW Title and the performers themselves would have turned out if Chris Benoit had kept on going on and had that feud with CM Punk over the ECW Title as planned.
