    Wrestling fans are salivating over a potential dream match between CM Punk and Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 40.<\/p>\n

    After Punk made his sensational return to the WWE at Survivor Series last week, the company\u2019s officials are \u201coptimistic\u201d a fight can happen. According to Fightful Select, WWE sources have revealed that the controversial wrestler has had discussions about the potential of fighting Stone Cold, without the final decision being known.<\/p>\n

    This isn\u2019t the first time the two icons have nearly stepped into the squared circle together, with fans regularly disappointed over years due to near-agreements falling through.<\/p>\n

    Sports Illustrated have reported that the WWE plan for Punk to feud with Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins, two of the federation\u2019s top stars, before then sharing the ring with Stone Cold. Due to Rollins\u2019 angry reaction to Punk\u2019s comeback on Saturday, it is thought that he would be the first feud, with reports they could square off at 2024\u2019s Royal Rumble event.<\/p>\n

    The spine-tingling return of one wrestling\u2019s recognisable faces made waves last week, helping the WWE smash its social media record for its Survivor Series event by garnering over 71 million views across all platforms.<\/p>\n
