With CM Punk expected to be back with WWE this summer, the writing team is currently working on different storyline plans for his return. One scenario being discussed is for Punk to be paired with Brock Lesnar upon his return, with Heyman and Lesnar eventually turning on him. Punk would turn and feud with a heel Brock Lesnar this fall.
WWE is currently planning Randy Orton vs. Sheamus for SummerSlam in August. There continues to be speculation that Orton is turning heel soon, with the WWE Payback promo video reinforcing this possiblity.
Speaking of Randy Orton, he brought back his skull punt at Extreme Rules during his match against The Big Show. The punt was phased out of Orton’s move set a while back due to it’s risk of causing concussions to his opponents. Orton will not be using the move on a regular basis – and was done to play into the “Extreme” theme of Sunday’s pay-per-view.

WrestleMania 30 is still close to a year away, but early planning is already underway for the top matches at the historic anniversary show.
Despite the fact that WWE is running a storyline that Brock Lesnar has fulfilled his contractual obligations, Lesnar is still with the company and will once again be featured in one of top matches at WWE’s biggest show of the year.
A report at F4Wonline.com states that the two primary opponents currently being discussed for Lesnar at WM30 are The Rock and The Undertaker.
The Rock is WWE’s top choice for Lesnar, but the injuries he sustained at WrestleMania 29 (and the heat he got from Hollywood studio execs, who were already saying he shouldn’t be wrestling) have casted a shadow of doubt on his in-ring future.
The Rock and WWE are expected to meet after the summer to discuss whether The Rock will wrestle again, in what would almost certainly be his final run as an active competitor.
