Call me a blind mark all you want but thats what I see happening. I dont see why they would make Punk seem so weak if they were going to push him to the Main Event.
Lets take a look
This week:
Jeff Hardy gets a clean pinfall on Umaga
CM Punk loses cleanly to the Miz
If they are planning something big for Punk they are doing a terrible job

It's still to early to tell, he only won it 2 months ago. If this was happening 6 months later, then you'd have a case.
Technically he's not jobbing. He's not picking up consecutive losses week in week out and I don't think he's lost a match clean on ECW since losing to Chavo a couple months back if I'm right.
I guess the rule here is MITB doesn't = an immediate push. He's still pretty much in the same position he was in before he got the briefcase, so my guess is they're milking as much as they can from him before slowly moving him up the card. You could say they're aiming to be very careful with Punk and not push him too soon to prevent a possible fan backlash. There's quite a few wrestlers in the mid card who are arguably more over than Punk is at the moment.
It's still only 2 months in, so patience is a key.
