As good as that sounds I think if does wrestle it will be against Logan Paul. Just a match for people who know nothing about wrestling. |

Otherwise, I’d rather Logan drop the title to someone deserving at Mania. |

See what he can do with it. This coming from someone who has absolutely cooked off on LA Knight already. |

I‘m sure this will piss people off, but if I’m Triple H CM Punk is no where near a WM main event this year. He’d have to prove to me he deserves it. This year he’d be losing cleanly to Dirty Dom giving him the rub to open one of the two nights of the show. If he did that and then kept his nose clean and showed he could go injury free for the year then he’d have earned my trust and main event next years Mania.

One of your biggest draws in the company isn’t in a high-profile match at WrestleMania. Punk is doing the job for Rollins. |

This isn’t punk from 10 years ago this is a Punk who for the last three years was injured for two of them and when not injured was in a few locker room issues. He has to earn my trust that he can be counted on to be put in that spot. |

If he didn’t “earn” Hunter’s trust, or “prove” to him he can be trusted in the position… Punk wouldn’t be back in the company. Especially put into a program with Seth Rollins. |

If he didn’t “earn” Hunter’s trust, or “prove” to him he can be trusted in the position… Punk wouldn’t be back in the company. Especially put into a program with Seth Rollins. I think he’s back because the fans wanted it a the WWE really didn’t have anything to lose signing him, but that doesn’t mean they trust him to stay healthy or be a team player. Prove to me that he can do both for this year. That’s done by giving a young future star like Dom the rub at WM, because Dom wouldn’t be expected to beat a CM Punk even one who hasn’t wrestled consistently in ten years. And then have Punk bust his @ss over the next months building himself up and then have him in the Main Event starting around the Survivor Series. And if I am being honest being put right into the main event after being out of wrestling for seven years was a big problem for me with how he was booked in the other company. A guy who was out of wrestling for seven years comes back and not only hangs with but beats their world champion!? That just made their champion look weak. He needed to work his way up for it to be credible. And I feel it should be the same way here. Have him work his way up for it. Being put in a main event title match with Seth right now does nothing to elevate Seth or the championship. If Seth wins he beat someone he was expected to beat in a guy who really hasn’t wrestled consistently in the last ten years. And if Seth loses then he lost to someone who hasn’t consistently wrestled in 10 years thus making Seth look weak. |

Imo, Punk going after the World title is the best the belt has looked so far. Which I know isn't saying much. The belt to me is basically what the US title should be.

I'm definitely not Punk's biggest fan but I don't see how you don't give him the match with Seth. He's one of the hottest acts in the business today,seems like it would be a waste not to use that. I just hope Seth walks out with the title is my main concern,him beating Punk would make up for a lot of the Ls he's took at Mania over the years but I sadly dont see him walking out with it.

I just hope Seth walks out with the title is my main concern,him beating Punk would make up for a lot of the Ls he's took at Mania over the years but I sadly dont see him walking out with it. Why? What has he done to make it that way now? He’s been away from the WWE for ten (?) years. That was when he was good. The last three years he proved he was a broken down shell of that and shouldn’t be in the main event. They brought him in over there and immediately put him in the title picture and what happened? He won the title proving that their champion couldn’t beat a guy who was out of the business for seven years. So it made their roster look weak. He immediately has to drop the title because of a major injury. He comes back and wins the title back again gets in an altercation and has to drop the title again because of another major injury. Comes back to more altercations and is fired. So now he’s back in the WWE. But he really hasn’t done anything of relevance in ten years to be considered the hottest acts in the business other than not be here for ten years. If I am the WWE I use his name to put a young talent like Dom over. Because Dom getting a win over Punk at Mania this year solidifies Dom as the future of the WWE. Having him main event vs Seth for the Heavyweight Championship does nothing to elevate Seth or the title at this time. It can only hurt them or keep them where they are. Because again Punk hasn’t done anything to raise his stock (has he even has a match on RAW or SD since signing?) So Seth would be expected to win against a guy who hasn’t done anything in the past decade. If Seth loses to Punk then it’s just like it was at the other place where the champion is so weak of a champion he loses to someone who has come off the street after 10 years of not wrestling. That’s not a good look for Seth or the championship it only elevates Punk. So again I’d have Punk give Dom the rub. And then work his way up the “ranks” so to speak where he’s proving he’s a team player and more importantly healthy enough to be relied on. Then come Survivor Series I start putting him in high profile main event matches leading up to next WrestleMania where a championship match vs Seth would elevate Seth, Punk and the championship. If I’m the WWE that’s what I do with Punk I use him to elevate the future of the company now and then elevate the Championship at next WM after he elevated himself. I don’t just give him the main event that only elevates him. He says he’s there to make money well that would be how he makes money for me. |
