1. Stone Cold Steve Austin
Was there every any doubt?
Stone Cold Steve Austin is without a doubt the best opponent for CM Punk at WrestleMania 28, and it's the match most fans want to see happen.
The seeds for this dream match were first planted when it was featured in the WWE All-Star game as a Fantasy Warfare match.
With a great concept surrounding their different lifestyles, as well as an awesome video promo for it, the match quickly took off with the IWC, and became a nice dream match many would want to see.
But the match really took off when CM Punk did his now-infamous work-shoot promo, airing his grievances with WWE and bashing management.
Soon, Punk slowly became a rebel vowing for change, dropping pipebombs wherever he went and fighting and insulting management.
In the eyes of many, CM Punk became the new anti-hero, and was seen as the new Stone Cold Steve Austin of this era. And soon enough, fans everywhere wanted to see these two face one another, and at no other place than WrestleMania 28.
Both men are very similar, yet are very different as well. Put this match alongside John Cena vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 28, and you get perhaps the most anticipated WrestleMania in history.
And the best part—this match actually has a chance of happening.
Stone Cold has stated in numerous interviews that he is open to one more match, and if it does happen, he would face none other than CM Punk.
And Punk himself says he would be honored to face Stone Cold, admiring him greatly, and saying if the pieces fell in the right places, they would face off.
Like Rock vs. Cena, Punk vs. Austin would be a case of two eras clashing, The Attitude Era vs. The Reality Era, and it would make WrestleMania 28 the biggest WrestleMania in history.
CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin, the top match for CM Punk at WrestleMania 28, and the biggest dream match in wrestling today.

Steve Austin has always been my favourite, GO Stevie!
