It would be "the shit."

With the Payback PPV being in Chicago, I feel that the WWE would be foolish not to do something big with Punk heading into that event. It could be Punk challenging for the WWE Title, but the WWE could also offer a CM Punk "dream match" for the show.
For the last couple of months I've been wondering if the WWE would ever consider running "Punk vs. Austin" as its own "big fight" PPV, instead of just using it on the card of one of their existing supershows. I imagined a scenario where Paul Heyman and CM Punk announced their own show for Chicago, where Joey Styles would do the commentary with Jim Ross and they would pick all the matches. Kind of like a modern, non-ECW themed approach to the "One Night Stand" concept. Punk vs. Austin being the main event for that would be very special. Brock Lesnar would also do a "special appearance" for Punk and Heyman on the show.
The reason I bring that up is because it seems like Payback could be a good PPV for to give Punk and Heyman that centre stage. Perhaps Punk can win the WWE Title between WrestleMania and Payback and then Heyman can assert Lesnar as a challenger for Punk, who knows something shady is going on and plays the cool "face by default" heading into the match with Lesnar, where no one gives him a chance.
