If Steve is up to do a program, it will be with Miz not Punk. Guarantee it.
Here are reasons why:
If Steve is up to do a progam, they will put him with someone they are trying to establish as a top star in the company, not someone who is established as a top star in the company.
Miz & Austin seem to have that connection, where it will be a great program, IMO & i'm someone who has **** on Miz constantly. Punk, someone who I have praised constantly, doesn't seem to have it with Austin.
If Austin& Punk have a feud it will be so insanely predictable... Punk: i'm straight edge, im better than you.. alcoholic... Austin: Your a whiny *** *****, give me a hell yeah!. Fans: Hell yeah!
It'll be plan and boring.. Austin and Miz would be much, much more entertaining.
and last, and most importantly, Punk is leaving WWE, maybe they could entice him to stay with a feud with Austin, as that would be the type of placement/program that would do it, Punk wants to be one of the top 3 people in the company, and a feud with a returning Austin for one last run would most likely put him at #2, behind Cena and his feud with a returning Rock.
