I love the bitching about how WWE handled CM Punk. Here's why people are so angry about the way WWE handled CM Punk and his title run, because WWE didn't book it the way people wanted it to be booked. People wanted WWE to book CM Punk as this strong, beating everyone with ease champion pretty much like what WWE did with Cena, but here's the truth about the whole matter.
No matter how WWE booked Punk and his title run, someone would have complained about something. When CM Punk got booked to look strong, someone bitched. When Punk won a match, someone would bitch about how it wasn't a clean win so it wasn't good enough or how Punk didn't look strong enough during the match. When Punk lost a match, the entire board would explode in a bitch fest. Jesus Christ, I understand there are CM Punk fans here but holy shit, get over yourselves. Yeah so WWE didn't book Punk to everyone's liking, so what? If WWE did what every fan wanted, WWE would suck.
I'm completely fine with WWE taking the belt off Punk right now. Since Cena is gone, this is Punk's chance to really become the big face on Raw and with the way WWE did it, it's perfect.
Orton is going to become the #2 heel on Raw and Jericho (as long as Jericho keeps going the way he is going right now.) is the #1 heel on Raw. If what I'm assuming here is correct, then WWE is most likely going to book Punk's feuds with people all the way down to Wrestlemania....or at least Royal Rumble.
Punk is going to feud with Orton and his stable of Priceless and Manu (I already hate that name.) probably up to Dec at this point. They'll probably be even a Survivor Series type of match with the team of Punk, Kofi, and Cryme Tyme vs Orton, Priceless, and Manu at Survivor Series. So this all goes up to Dec to where Orton and Punk have the giant blow off, then it's the Royal Rumble.
Lets just say WWE books Punk to win the Royal Rumble, Jericho still holds the title till Wrestlemania. Punk and Jericho already have something booked, WWE can play off the history gimmick, and Punk easily becomes the big babyface focal point of Raw, which all leads up to Punk's big win at Wrestlemania.
So that's what I'm assuming...but knowing WWE, they'll completely fuck everything up by rushing it and yeah.....Batista will be champion by the year's end.
