Even better news. CM Punk broke a record. The WHC has never been defended 2 times on one raw. He is also therefore the only person too win 2 WHC matches on Raw in 1 night. Congrats Punk on your record. ing ****. I was so utterly exhausted today that I skipped Raw for the first time in... years, to catch some early sleep. And Punk goes and wins the title. That's depressing. Oh well, just glad to see that it happened, despite missing it. I'll have to download it at some point. Watch the replay on sunday morning. Come on people for the support of Punk and too show WWE he can draw lets all watch A.M. Raw and up its raitings spread the word. That way maybe the decade belongs too us.

I posted this in the thread about MITB too, but here are my thoughts on Punk winning the way he did:
I understand why some people think this makes Punk look weak, is more of a heel move, etc... but I disagree. I might agree if Punk pulled this on Triple H, but he has had a history with Edge. Edge cost him his ECW title, and has screwed him in the past. Also, Edge used MITB twice to win world titles, so it made sense for a face to beat Edge at his own game and outsmart the heel.
Plus, Punk defeated JBL tonight after showing guts by defending his title, so he is still saving face that way as well.

This contradicts everything tho... Cena saying he is smart to do it...whereas last year Edge did the same thing to Cena and it was considered cowardly..its not that different

I literally jumped up off the floor when he won. I couldn't believe that he's actually made it.
I'm proud and happy for him. RAW owned tonight.

For the 1st time in sinca january i decided to sleep instead of watching it live. I recorded it so at 8 this morning i put it on, watched JR bit, then edge came out, then got his ass handed to him by Batista, then as soon as Punk came out I was like 'No Way!!!' and then he won and i was like 'OMG NO WAY!!'
Punk has made it to the main event =]

Im not the biggest Punk fan in the world, hell I was slagigng him off the other week, but this had me saying "holy crap" out loud when his music hit. I really suspected JBL was gonna win it straight away, but no. Good for Punk

Yeah im pleased, but you guys gotta chill.
Punk was easilly one of the most over people in the wwe, Your not a select little group of minority who said you loved him from the start, Most of you loved him in wwe from what you heard. I like punk and im glad he won. But the whole world wasn't against him, Your not the select few who stuck by him and now you can f**k the haters ect.
The people i feel for are the real indy cm punk fans who watched him, drove hours to see him live just punk and those who followed him through ROH, IWA MS ect and now are easilly the happiest to see him champ. Yet the guys who are a WWE Punk mark OMG THIS NITE BELONS TO US!! YEAH YEAH. Everyone is gonna tar eachother with the same brush while stating themselves they were an indy cm punk fan.

I was totally not expecting that to happen last night. When Batista was walking back up the ramp I was asking myself what the point of that beatdown was, and I really thought that it was just to make RAW look good on their own show--then Punk's music hit. That was really awesome. Not to mention that I kind of was expecting JBL to win it off of him, yet he retained. I'm really glad he's champion.

I'm not a Punk hater but YOU'VE GOTTA TO BE ING KIDDING ME?! you WWE. Are we EVER going to see a DECENT Edge title reign? Apparently never, because now we have the ****ty spinner belt on SD, which does NOT constitute a World Championship. you Triple H and your ego, not willing to put anyone over like Cena last night..., Now Edge is probably going to win the WWE Title from Triple H( without actually pinning him of course ), only to drop it again at SummerSlam to Undertaker. Soooo obvious..

He deserves a Reign now. But since wwe is pushing towards kids yeah Punk gets it too. Which is a shame as EDGE is brilliant

When you think back to his days in ROH, this is pretty incredible Seriously, it's hard to believe that the guy I started watching 4-5 years ago because he was "that straight edge dude" is one of the WWE's top guys. Good for him. Exactly my thoughts.You follow him from small venues wrestling his ass off to make a name for himself,and then you actually get to see him win big on national television.It was insane.

I haven't been this excited for WWE in quite some time, that was one of the best RAWs that I've seen since the Flair Tribute

I didn't expect it, so I guess that's a good thing. I'm happy for him, but he just doesn't look like a champion for some reason.

I marked out like i was 10 again. Trust me, you weren't the only one!! ;D I recorded the replay of Raw later on that night to DVD-R and I keep watching the part when Punk comes down and cashes in and beats Edge. I can't and won't ever get tired of seeing that. Such an awesome, awesome moment on Raw. I freaking loved it. ;D
