Why are they overshadowing Punk by EVERYBODY on the roster? The guy is not the main focus of the show as he should be. Hes on REeeal early on raw. WTF.  |

I think they are trying to get across the fact that he is overlooked and no one believes in him as being a main event level world champion and as long as everyone doubts him, then WWE is doing pretty damn good. I think he is doing an excellent job.

Never good when the World champ is overshadowed on the show and they are building the main event at the PPV to be a non title match. Nice push there WWE.

It's just like when RVD was WWE Champion...the WWE is overshadowing Punk by billing Cena vs. Batista as the RAW main event at SummerSlam the way they were billing D-X as the main event when RVD was Champion.
I don't like it, personally. The Champion should be in the main event scene. If they wanted to make Batista and Cena the focal point of RAW each week, why didn't they just put the title on one of them in the first place?

The main focus is definitely off Punk on RAW. He was only on tv for like 5 minutes this past RAW and had no match or nothing. It was very minimal airtime for the champion. The focus is definitely all on Batista/Cena.
Then again, SD! has a similar situation right now with almost no focus on HHH/Khali and it all going to Taker/Edge. The two big title matches for Summerslam I think are filler matches with no possible title changes ... they aren't being pushed as the "true" main events.

I think they only have Punk as champion, for right now, because he is a good roll model for kids, not because he is championship material right now. Although, that is a bad overall business move on the WWE's part. It was largely demonstrated by the "drinking contest" on Raw.

It's making me sick hearing about Batista and Cena so much when Punk should be headlining every Raw. I'm tired of seeing these bad tag team matches main eventing the show.

CM Punk hasn't been on RAW past 9:45pm in like 6 weeks.
But that's fine, once Orton shows up at SummerSlam, costs JBL the title and then Randy takes the title at the next PPV, all will be well with the world and Punk will be fighting for the IC title.

I agree that Punk should be the focus of Raw. The show was so much better when he was the main part of the show. He shouldn't be in only one segment and in the middle of the show.
Here's hoping he retains at Summerslam and that the Batista/Cena feud finishes up, then Punk will go back to being a big part of the show (hopefully).

What's hilarious is that despite the fact that WWE is giving Cena/Bitchtista a ridiculous amount of air time, I can see WWE fans start to turn on this whole feud because it feels so forced and unlikeable.

I couldn't agree more. Poor Punk is stuck in the upper midcard scene.

Actually I felt the segment between him and JBL was quite well written.

I think the segment was well done and very wise since it makes Punk someone with morals and layers and not just the flavor of the month but a guy who has certain fever points. |

It is obvious to anyone that Punk doesn't get to write his own lines as he would if he was able to portray that "I'm better than you" persona, but it was designed for the kids and young adults who believe more in principles than anything. Honestly, if was me and not scripted, I would have drank the shot and blasted JBL with the bottle lol |
