So I just finished watching Raw from last night, and this might only make sense to ROH or AmDrag fans. Was it just me or was anyone else expecting CM Punk after beating on Rhodes in the ropes and was pulled off almost at 4 by the ref expecting him to pull a," I've got til 5 referee!!"
Anyway that's not what this is about. I was just pondering that here's a guy who was world champ 2 weeks ago. And this is the second week in a row that he's starting out the show and after is barely mentioned towards the end of the show. Now it's obvious he is in a big mix of feuds with the 2nd gen Faction including the main eventer of the group Randy. And while I don't see this as a step down, I can't seem to see them allowing him back into the world title scene for at least 6 months which I guess is a good thing or a bad thing.
Do you guys think that there is a long term plan to use him in the world title scene or do you think that due to the new way of writing week to week that it may end up just leading to nothing?

He was put in the World Title scene because of circumstances in the company.
Not saying he didn't deserve it... but it was a bit soon.
He helped them out the best he could for 2 months or so but a face champion that looks weak is a bad thing. They did the same thing with RVD too, who was small. Him pinning Batista wouldn't be believeable. If he was a heel like Jericho, there's a little more you can do there.

You know what annoyed me last night?
The fact that a guy was punted in the head, out for like a few days, compared to the other injuries. Thats one
second, the confrontation between orton and him was like anti climatic.
Orton costs you the world title, and all you could do was Slap him in the face? And then on top of that, the walking joke they call randy orton sold it like he'd been shot in the face.
Now I dont know about you, but if i was screwed out of a title, I would've hit that ring, tackled Orton to the ground and proceeded to beat the crapout of him. Not just some bitch slap

Honestly I didn't think Punk was gonna lay a finger on him so I thought it was climatic. But I can see why you thought it was weak... cuz he just kept slapping him. You are right, after the first blow he shoulda did something more or at least got him up for the GTS!1 and had Adamle come out and stop him.

Well, he was starting the show AS World Champion. So I'm not surprised to see him start the show without the title.

He was just b--chslapping him because he's waiting until Orton's healthy to really lay the smack down.

Anyone else think Punk came off stronger last night than he did his entire World Title run?

I just hope they keep Punk in the main events, or "up there" because his title run wont mean all that much if h just goes back to the mid card.
I like Punk. but am I the only one who still doesn't see him as a top main event wrestler in the WWE? I would rather watch him than Cena or Batista, but he still doesn't seem like a m,ain evemt wrestler.

Not just some bitch slap I agree with you to a certain degree, but it IS CM Punk, not some one like HHH, who would infact, hit the ring and beat the piss out of Orton. The fact that Punk is "Diciplined" and all that jazz makes the whole thing make a little more sense. Plus, Orton is injured, they're not going to have someone beat his ass before he is cleared to wrestle.. simple as that. |

It's always good business to have an extremely strong performer start your show off to hook the viewers... starting with the World champ in a match could be seen either way but now that Punk isn't champ anymore I can appericiate the reasoning behind having Punk open the show.

His first run with the title was a test. Which I think he passed.
He'll have a couple of feuds and do a few other things then get the belt back down the line and be all the better for it.

Punk wanted to insult Orton... or(excuse the pun) punk him out. |

It makes me sick man  I have watched him since his first match in florida then his first match in ROH. I saw him win the ecw title then the money in bank and finally the world title.Who knows what he did to piss off the wwe but he is back at step one WWE.com has a video up where CM Punk vows to get a tag team partner and go after Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. He says he won't stop until he has beaten them for the tag titles. Check out the video Now that is a BIG step back for him at least he coulf be getting the IC title. I mean in 1998 halloween havoc DDPvs GoldBerg World title DDP lost next night they gave him the US title from Bret hart.Cmpunk gets the shaft man |

You have a good point. Although, it is better than him going over guys like Regal every week for no reason. |
