Should C.M. Punk appear at WrestleMania XXX?

In Power Slam's opinion, C.M. Punk should give this Sunday's show in New Orleans a miss.

If Punk were to appear at WrestleMania XXX, his return would be lost in a whirlwind of mega-matches and title changes and the grandiose spectacle that is WrestleMania.

Neither Punk nor WWE wants his comeback to be overshadowed by other happenings.

If Punk intends to return to WWE this month, he should do so on the post-'Mania Raw, which sets the ball rolling on the post-'Mania season, is usually the most talked-about wrestling television programme of the year and which, in recent times, has been attended by the most rabid fans on earth. Those spectators are just the sort of people who would go mental for Punk's surprise return -- and make it the event of the evening.

Just imagine if Punk were to sprint through the crowd and attack Triple H on next Monday's Raw, and then do a runner out of the building. A simple angle like that would set up the following week's Raw brilliantly, and persuade some of those casual fans who always tune in the night after 'Mania to watch Raw the next week. That would be a hook, all right.
