Simple have Punk come out and insult Ryback.

Rating was just reported, there is no way anyone would have the quarter hours this soon. Wrestlezone is probably referring to the 3rd hour viewership which was the lowest of the night. Most of Punk's "celebration" was in the overrun of the show and it was well promoted so it could still end up doing big.

Should be an interesting breakdown.

I don't think he would considering he is terrified of Ryback. Heels don't put themselves in danger on purpose, thats the problem.

I suppose we could have punk at the top of the ramp, ryback in the ring and he leaves the ring, gets attacked like he did on monday, punk, curious, comes down to the ring and watches it happen.

yeah, that coulda worked...

It would need to tbh. I didn't see that that report was from Wrestlezone. It is now void and full of shit lol. Most likely lies imo.

A main event is a main event. Hell, the fact it started so late should help it going into the overrun since people who watch the next show might tune in.

no, it was cutting it thin, even me, a punk mark, was thinking " I could just go to bed"...very poor choice of timing imo

Ohh great numbers and well deserved.

The problem wasn't any of the stars... it was the pacing. And it has been the pacing mixed with just.. inconsistent bullshit... and you have a product, not wrestlers, a product that is dull and not worth the time. I mean, last night was the perfect example. You had the chance to have the three new invaders make noise all night... they show up in a repeat segment of the prior night. You could have set up a new feud for CM Punk, instead, no one has a clue if Ryback is going after Punk again or if he is now pulled into a feud with the other three men. You had a flop in terms of booking 101 with Barret going over the IC champ and not becoming champ but earning his shot. You had the drawn out BS with the soap opera angle... that surprisingly gave us the only real flash of something awesome in Ziggler last night.

Why would that kind of a show draw? You could have Hogan, Austin, and Rock all in their primes in that show and it still wouldn't draw... that is how pathetic the WWE is right now.

One year later and Punk still hasn't been accepted as a main event star. Take the title off of him already.
