Well said. The reason Punk continues to get pushed despite the terrible ratings is because they don't really have any other options. They seem to want to keep Cena away from winning it for a while so when he's the champion again, it'll feel more special than just "duh, another title win". And better ratings also equals better promotion since the TV shows are their main source in letting everyone know what's coming up next week, next PPV and so on.

A win is a win, though.
