It would work...only if the new belt actually looked good. If it's all blinged out again, no one will believe Punk had any say with how the belt was designed.
Knee surgery, eh? Fixing up his bad knees...to get them in shape for Punk at WM29, right?
A man can dream.
Okay so the next 5 months of storyline are completely pointless. We already know Punk Vs Rock at the Rumble with Rock Winning and Cena either winning the Rumble or Elimination Chamber to be #1 contender.
The only thing that could possibly happen is Cena and Punk trade the title a couple times. Who is there for Cena to feud with if not for the WWE title? Daniel Bryan?
Who's the #2 face on Raw now Christian?

Obviously!

Sad but maybe true it's prob Kane.
Unfortunately, it seems like Sheamus between both but I don't know how they differentiate the two programs anymore.

Christian is Smackdown. The Raw equivalent of the (ex) IC champ is... Santino.
I think Cena's main feud is actually still with Big Show...Punk's just taking a backseat to that still even with the heel turn.
#2 face on Raw? Santino...
My guess is no.
BTW, pretty sure it'll be a Triple Threat at Summerslam.

Cena isn't done with Punk.

Cena isn't done with Punk.
They now seem to think that just because HBK/Taker got two years in a row at WM, and worked, that EVERY big non-title match needs to be done twice.
Rock/Cena being done twice accomplishes absolutely nothing, in fact it damages the credbility of the first one with the "Once In A Lifetime" tagline, and it is 100% certain that Cena would win and then... change nothing, because losing didn't change anything, I can't image winning would either. It's just stupid, to do.
I want him to come back! I just don't see him coming back on or anything. I hope I'm wrong.
Rematch clause wouldn't matter if Stone Cold screws Punk. He doesn't have to use the clause immediately.
Also, there is Elimination Chamber.
They're both jobber titles anyway. It doesn't matter what show they're featured on.

The old WWF scratch logo no longer has to be censored in brief clips. However, there is no word on whether or not it applies to complete matches or complete shows. The audio of people saying "WWF" still has to be censored.
WWE is trying to get all this stuff sorted out so none of this stuff has to be censored when the network launches.

I wake up to find people begging for "This Fire Burns?" People are gonna be disappointed, surely. And "Cult of Personality" is a face theme? Did people forget that he was a heel when he came back and debuted it?

If Punk returns to just being angry at the WWE system instead of being the WWE archetypal cowardly heel I would be happy.
The time after his shoot but before MITB was when punk was his most interesting. He was a jackass, he was angry, he was a heel who was telling the fans he didnt care what they think but he was sick of the current state of WWE and his spot and wanted to do something to change it even if it wasnt nice. THATS the type of Punk I want to see return.
He should be angry that even though he is Champ that Cena still main events every PPV and TV show. He should be angry that guys like the Rock and come in and get title shots even though they only show up twice a year. That great wrestlers like Daniel Bryan are stuck dealing with WWE weddings when they should be having great matches and be appreciated.
Out side of Cena's domination over everything he is involved in another problem WWE has right now is all there faces are just cocky joking smartasses and all there heels are cheating cowards. Even the monster heels who should be able to dominate in the ring just cheat to beat faces now.
Give me a heel with some dept and a reason they are why they are. Someone who is a great wrestler who can actually beat someone in a match without cheating or getting DQ'ed.
It would make the heels matter more and would mean when the good guy finally wins it would actually matter.

it looks like Rock was going to miss the elbow. see Big Show getting up to move out of the way there? so Rock fans were going to be disappointing either way.
I assumed Big Show was only getting up because he had to get out of the way for Punk and Rock to have the ring to themselves for the GTS and taunts.
He wasn't a heel when he came back...
Complimenting the audience makes him a heel? Nope. He was a tweener at first but quickly turned into babyface.
People are always going to be disappointed when they talk about things like a Heyman faction, new titles, Ambrose debuting into a major angle and actual wrestling.
They might as well add expecting an old theme song returning to that list.
I'm pretty sure everyone assumes that, I thought bangai-o was just being SILLY
Isn't Cult of Personality one of his old themes?
your talking about the other thread. those marks!
Cena sure likes saying 'RESPECT' a lot

He was making ridiculous demands, he was acting cocky and was riding his high horse about holding the title hostage, and he was trying to push Triple H around, who was actually being completely reasonable for a change. Punk was a heel, but people were so in love with him that they wanted to believe he was a face.
Not to the WWE audience.
Actually, I was the one expecting the Heyman-stable and guess what, I'm not dissapointed.
You see, I can fantasy book and still be okay with what they actually do. I know I'm pretty unique as in general WrassleGAF fashion I should shit on everything. But no, Punk is a heel, Cena lost the match, I'm very pleased.
And if Punk comes out next week to Cult of Personality and cuts his heel promo, I'll be equaly satisfied.
*Otunga sip*
Well I still think the theme fits a heel as well
He was a tweener though. He complimented the crowd while shootin' all over the place.
Ignore the Triple H saga please because that bullshit was badly booked to begin with.
He was definitely not a heel. I think we both know the difference between heel punk and non-heel punk.

I suprised more people here aren't upset that Cena essentially beat Punk twice yesterday and he only held onto his title through the grace of god. I thought it made Punk look pretty weak to be honest. Cena hit the AA, put the STF on, and also kicked out of the WMD. It was basically Super Cena without the win. Is this the best we can expect from Cena booking these days? Punk never even teased winning this match clean and he's been the goddamn champ for 8 months.
I'm nitpicking, but they're basically saying Punk has only been champ because Cena has forgotten the belt existed. Now that he's interested again, it's obvious Punk can't beat him. That's what I took from that match anyway.

I think it does too. I really like CoP.
You're not the only one that has asked for it. Those are just three things that come to mind that WrassleGaf and the IWC in general constantly asks for and is constantly disappointed in when they don't deliver.
Why not? Why would Vince still want Hulk Hogan's name to be top of the history books? Why not give the honours to your current guy? Push him to the moon?

Thing is, we all now this and would rather not talk about it because it is depressing.
See Cena holding up Cena in the bank championship image.
