I'd like to see it at Wrestlemania, with The Rock having won the title at the rumble (from someone other than Punk) and Punk winning the rumble itself.
When The Rock first announced he would get a title shot at Royal Rumble my first thought was that they should build The Miz back up to win the title off Punk sometime around November or December. The Miz and The Rock have some history from their WM main event, plenty they would be able to work with promo-wise and it gets the title on The Rock (which seems to be what they'll be going for) without throwing away the Punk feud so quickly and without damaging Cena by having him never able to get one over on The Rock.
So The Miz just kinda seemed like the obvious choice to go with here, other than that maybe Daniel Bryan would make a bit of sense following their confrontation at the 1000th Raw, but I don't really want to see Bryan in the title scene again any time soon, he's a good upper midcarder so he should probably just stay there.
Punk winning the rumble and facing The Rock for the title would give the rumble win a big feel again too after the last few years.
