A quick thought here...but something well worth consideration.
Following on from "That" shoot, the one that turned just about EVERYONE'S heads...and the fact that WWE have started to sign people and offer contracts to a lot of ROH guys...could we see a formation of the 2nd city saints with a selection of ROH guys within WWE to mark Punk's return?
Thinking about it...WWE right now have...
Jon Moxley
Colby Lopez (Seth Rollins/Tyler Black)
They also hosted tryouts for Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli and reportedly they were very impressed and offered contracts to the two. The news for that can be found here;

That's 4 HUGE guys from ROH history.
Plus of course, the internet AND indy darling, CM Punk...
I'm beginning to wonder if his shout out to ROH was actually the start of something. A lot of people have said an "ROH invasion" type deal, but really...would that work? No. There's no proof right now Vince is doing anything to do with ROH other than snapping up more and more of their top talent.
If they did this properly, they could introduce the group like they did with the Nexus. Have them burst through immediately attacking Cena and even maybe The Rock. Definitely have them attack Stone Cold. Set up a match for wrestlemania, CM Punk vs. Stone Cold with the group at ringside as enforcers.
Being honest, WWE have ADORED using Punk as a tool for groups and factions and this would be the perfect group for him. People he knows pretty well or at least has kept up with and watched solidly (I believe Punk still watches in on the odd ROH show here or there, to keep himself in the loop. He loves ROH, you can tell that.) and he would have a pretty solid chemistry with him. Set it up as these guys are all pissed with Vince for trying to shut down all of their free speech, cutting mics etc whenever they're talking. Use Punk as the main talking piece and let others cut promos to allow them an in into the angle (the main mistake with Nexus IMO was stopping them from being allowed to talk, other than Barrett).
What do you guys think? A full on ROH star based group work their way into WWE and cause havoc...while it's been done with Nexus, it could work this time around and it would be one HELL of a way to get Punk back in with impact.
