We all loved Punk's "pipe bomb" promo because he was right about everything he said and he voiced the concerns of WWE's most loyal and dedicated fans. Furthermore he was speaking up for himself as a WWE talent who has done everything that was asked of him, put in the time and exceeded everyone's expectations. CM Punk deserves to be in the top spot because of the fans, because of his own work ethic and frankly he earned it just like all the wrestlers who came before him. If he were to start a stable with Paul Heyman, I think the concept behind their "revolution" is to demand respect and not be overlooked.
The stable should be small and powerful, like the nWo was in the beginning, and also to set it apart from the Nexus whose strength was the sheer numbers involved. Here is my "Revolution" lineup:
CM Punk - Leader: I'd keep the main focus of the stable on Punk, with everyone else giving him ultimate respect, after all it's why he started the group. Ideally he would hold the WWE Title for a while after starting the group. I would try to maintain his current "tweener" persona where he is not a clean cut babyface yet not quite a true villain.
Seth Rollins - Apprentice: Rollins would clearly be presented as Punk's 2nd in command. Ideally he would use his stable's power of persuasion to capture the Intercontinental Title to bring more gold to the faction. Rollins would be presented as CM Punk's successor in a way, maybe even the one to take the WWE Title from him if the stable were to self destruct. Seth would be the most serious member of the group, and possible traitor if needed.
Kassius Ohno - Loose Cannon: I love Kassius' work as Chris Hero in ROH and I think he would be great at cutting wild unpredictable promos and backstage sneak attacks. Ohno would come off as a true wild card who helps Punk achieve whatever is needed and enforce grudges against other wrestlers by jumping them outside the ring or backstage.
Colt Cabana - Smart Ass: With how often Punk name-dropped this former WWE star, it would be really cool to see him reinstated with help from the stable's manager. Keeping his name from the indies might be hard to negotiate but it would strengthen the vibe of this stable consisting of the top indy stars that WWE's fanbase is fairly familiar with. Colt would crack jokes often, and make references to insider terms and concepts that the "smarks" are familiar with. I'd like to see Colt and Ohno capture the Tag Titles so that the entire stable holds most of the Championship Gold in WWE.
Paul Heyman - Manager: With Lesnar wrapping up in WWE, it would make a lot of sense for Punk to enlist his services to get what he wants. Heyman's presence would be constant during his talent's matches and he would often join the commentary booth or interfere in the match in some way. You could even see a power struggle between him and AJ or Booker for the role of GM.
If anything, the stable needs accomplishments. In addition to my idea of the entire stable winning championship gold, I would have them establish a hit list of TOP stars that they want out of their way. Perhaps Big Show, Mysterio, John Cena, Kane or Randy Orton will become a target and will systematically be taken out or injured. It would be interesting to see the stable attempt to get one of the GM's fired, possibly AJ so Heyman can run Raw for a while and cater to his group. Just some ideas, I think it would be fun to see. There's a lot of possibility to create new stars in WWE out of known indy wrestlers right away, rather than going the slow route that Antonio Cesaro or others take.
