Default Re: CM Jobber

Punk likely becoming tag champs Sunday with Kane isn't really a demotion however it does nothing for his money in the bank status unless it eventually builds up to Punk turning on Kane and cashing in his title contract to take the title from Kane. Basically Punk's Money in The Bank reign is going to be a huge waste if does not either turn on Kane or move to another brand. They are the only possible reasons for Punk being where he is right now. The most likely idea is that Punk will turn on Kane and catch him off guard to win back the ECW title. This would establish Punk as a big heel (which he will greatly benefit from) and also allow him to successfully cash in his money in the bank contract which continues the importance of the contract. I know a lot of people will say that if Punk uses the money in the bank contract to regain the ECW title it would be a waste. But does anyone really expect WWE to put Punk over the likes of HHH/Orton/Cena/Taker/Edge? I sure as hell don't especially when they've booked him to lose to people like the Miz. You have to believe WWE wants to continue the success rate of the money in the bank winner so that the gimmick remains relevant but at the same time they obviously are in no hurry to put Punk over the top dogs quite yet. Which means Punk going back after the ECW title is what makes most sense right now. Whatever the case I definently agree that Punk appears to be lost with inconsistent booking ever since winning Money In The Bank. Some nights he's made to look very strong and on other nights like this week's ECW he's made to look very week. Not exactly the kind of push I would expect for a Money In The Bank winner, but perhaps his "title push" has yet to begin.
