3 views21 Sep 2026
CM Punk came incredibly close to teasing one of the biggest dream matches WWE fans could ever imagine — CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. During the WWE ’13 promotion, Punk and Austin sat down for a legendary interview with Jim Ross, and JR wasted no time asking the questions fans had been dreaming about. What if CM Punk had been part of the Attitude Era? And what if Punk had actually faced Stone Cold Steve Austin? The moment became even more interesting when Austin’s attention turned toward Punk’s WWE Championship. Punk noticed it, looked at Austin and hit him with the ultimate question — “What if?” For a brief moment, WWE fans got a glimpse of what this impossible clash could have looked like. The Straight Edge Superstar vs. The Texas Rattlesnake. The Best in the World vs. The Bionic Redneck. Mind games, attitude, promos and pure intensity colliding in one ring. It was never meant to be a real match, but that interview gave fans a taste of one of the greatest “what if?”scenarios in WWE history. CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin — the dream match that came so close to becoming a reality.
