The WWE had a few periods in 2011 with 3 stars that were their main focus to get to the top (with a 4th and 5th ones coming in the end of the year) and they were: Wade Barrett & Alberto Del Rio & Sheamus & Daniel Bryan and of course CM Punk.
My question to you is how would you rebook one of this competitors in 2011 in order to have all of them in a good upper mid-card or main event spot on the way to Wrestle Mania 28.
I would book Cm Punk out of those five man. Also keep thinking that at the time you need to elevate the other 4 man that you won't pick so don't overpush the one that you book more than he needed.
Cm Punk:
First of all there will be no New Nexus crap and that would be explained in the Wade Barrett section as Punk would enter 2011 in a world title feud with Edge (Punk wins the title at Summer Slam from Edge and puts him out of action until after Bragging Rights- meanwhile he is feuding with The Undertaker and Kane. At Survivor Series Team Edge defeats Team Punk with Edge pinning Punk for the win. At TLC Punk loses the title to Edge in a TLC match only to have The Miz cash in the MITB contract on Edge to win the World Heavyweight Championship).Then Punk faced Edge on the first Raw of 2011 in a match to determinate the No.1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at the Royal Rumble with the loser entering in the No.1 Spot in the Rumble match. Punk lost in a hard fought 20 minute match to enter the rumble.
Royal Rumble - He entered the Royal Rumble match in the No.1 spot lasting all the way into the final 2 until he was eliminated by a returning John Cena (who entered in the #11 spot).
Over The Limit (Replacing Elimination Chamber) - Punk was a part of a Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match to determinate the No.1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestle Mania a match that also featured John Morrison & Randy Orton & Edge. Orton was eliminated by Punk first in the match only to viciously attack Punk from behind with a Steel Chair and put him threw the announcers table with a RKO allowing Morrison to pin him and eliminate him from the match. (Then Christian who returned to be in Edge's corner for the match betrayled him allowing Morrison to win the match and go on to face The Miz for the WHC title at Wrestle Mania).
Wrestle Mania 27 - Punk and Orton faced off with Punk winning the match after he hit him with a chair shot to the head when the ref was down and winning the match.
Extreme Rules - Punk and Orton have a rematch in a Falls Count Anywhere Match with Punk going over. During the match (which was the first on the card) the two man dissapeared into a car (like with Ambrose and Harper this year) only with a footage of them fighting in a different place on Tampa (ER host) all over the night until right before the WWE Championship main event when Punk threw Orton right threw the window car and GTS'd him on the top of it to pin him.
No Way Out - Punk and Orton's feud was ending at NWO which would be a PPV with a similar concept to TNA's Lockdown with every match inside a Steel Cage. Orton defeats Punk clean (finally).
Capitol Punishtment - Punk was off on this PPV only to attack John Cena in the end of his WWE Championship main event match with Christian. Then he taunted Cena and walked out.
* The next night on Raw Punk won a Triple Threat No.1 Contenders match for the WWE title at KOTR by defeating Del Rio and Mysterio.
King Of The Ring (replacing MITB) - The same exact thing that happened at MITB 11' between Cena and Punk. KEEP IT THE SAME.
* Then Punk walked out and the next time that we saw him was at Vengeance 2011.Meanwhile an Elimination Chamber match for the Vacant title was booked for Summer Slam which was won by Rey Mysterio. At night of champions Rey retained the title against Cena only to lose it to him in a Hell In A Cell match at HIAC. During that time Punk really defended the WWE title in other promotions like ROH & NJPW against their respective world champions at the time - Davey Richards & Hiroshi Tanahashi. He also faced in some of their top talents in dream indy matches with the title on the line - for example against the likes of Minoru Suzuki & Tesuyta Naito & Keiji Mutoh (in NJPW) & Roderick Strong & Michael Elgin & Jimmy Jacobs (in ROH).
He will also appear on 2 big PPV's: For NJPW he will succesfully defend his title against Justin Thunder Liger at Wrestle Kingdom 6 & will co-headline Ring Of Honor Death Before Dishonor 9 against El Generico.
Vengeance - The show ended with Cena retaining the championship against Mysterio & Sheamus & Christian in a Fatal 4 Way Match only to have cult of personality start playing and Punk was standing on the ramp taunting Cena with his title.
*The next night on Raw it was decided by Vince McMahon that the 2 will face off at Survivor Series in a Ladder Champion vs Champion Match to unify both titles into the Undisputed WWE Championship. Then they had another contract signing between Cm Punk and the WWE (like they had on the July 11th episode of Raw - even though this will still happen as it was an awesome thing). Punk signed a one match contract with the WWE at Survivor Series but then it was said that if he loses he will be gone but if he wins he gets an Iron Claud contract with a check bigger then Cena's. Then the week after that Vince announced that the referee in the match will be non other then The Rock (by the way HHH won't be able to be the referee like at Summer Slam 11' as he will be a part of a Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match facing Team Barrett - I took his Vengeance appearence in a wrestling match and put it at SS).
Survivor Series - Punk wins the title clean then The Rock hit the Rock Bottom on Cena only to get GTS'd by Punk to end the show.
Armageddon (replacing TLC) - At Armageddon Punk retains the title against Cena and Wade Barrett in a Triple Threat match by pinning Cena who was distracted by Kane (like in the Slammy Awards Raw in reality).
Royal Rumble - Punk continued his feud with Wade Barrett (and it was revealed that during The Nexus's days Punk was the one who brought the idea of the Nexus to Barrett and was the mastermind of Barrett). In the match Punk retained the title against Barrett in a hard fought 20 minute match. (Barrett was out due to an injury after ER 12' but he will be scheduled to win MITB at WM 28 in my booking if he wouldn't have been injured so I do not devalue or depush him in this feud).
Elimination Chamber 2012 - Punk succesfully defended his WWE title in a chamber match against John Cena & Kane & Zack Ryder & Wade Barrett & Chris Jericho by last eliminating Jericho to retain the title.
Wrestle Mania 28 - Punk vs Jericho. KEEP THE SAME with the exception of this match being a No Disqualification No Count Out Match.
My question to you is how would you rebook one of this competitors in 2011 in order to have all of them in a good upper mid-card or main event spot on the way to Wrestle Mania 28.
