I decided a few minutes ago that my latest pipe-dream is CM Punk making his way down to the ring for the Rumble as #1. When it is time for #2 to enter, a voice comes over the PA and says in slow, deliberate English: "CM Punk, you claim to be The Best in the World. I challenge this. I have begged The Authority to allow me to be #2 in the Royal Rumble even though I don't work for WWE. I will eliminate you, for I am the Best in the World."
Cue this theme:
Shinsuke Nakamura from New Japan Pro-Wrestling hits the ring and spends the early parts of the Rumble matching CM Punk move for move. Nakamura is eventually eliminated about a third of the way through the match, but he shows up again on RAW to save Punk from a Shield beat-down. He was brought in by The Authority, he reveals, but he played them because he genuinely wants to find out if he is better than CM Punk.
The WWE Network then airs New Japan Pro-Wrestling PPVs and Nakamura does a bit of a stint with the company and sees if he can connect as a radical babyface with the WWE audience.
The chances of this happening? 0%. I don't give a fuck.
