This was a huge announcement. It basically means The Rock will be around for 3 months to start next year. It is obvious he will win the title at Royal Rumble, and defend it at WM.

Punk has to be involved with Rock at Rumble. You just don't have Punk turn heel by screwing the Rock and not let them settle it in a match. I'm all for Punk holding onto the title now, until the Rumble.

Punk loses the belt, Rock faces the champion at Rumble which is most likely to be John Cena and Punk wins the Rumble.. Rock/Punk at Wrestlemania.

This is painfully obvious what is going to happen

Rock wins title at royal rumble vs punk, cena wins rumble

So much for 'once in a lifetime'

what makes it worse is that we are all going to know cena is going to win

[The Corre]

Yeah I can see that happening, and then a few years later have the rubber (3rd) match as the big money match of "Who is the greatest of all time"

[Fire at Heart]

This feud is just boring with both as face, punk vs rock will be better with punk being heel, hopefully cena vs rock won't happen the build will be even worse then last year.

[Rocky Mark]

huge chance of that , however there's a chance that might not be happening

anyone else thinks that Rock/Punk won't happen at the RR ? by then Punk would be a 14 month champion , I can't imagine the blow off of such a long title reign to be wasted like that

I'm a big Rock fan but it would be a dumb decision to waste a long run like that just to set the paste for Rock/Cena II


my perfect scenario is Rock to enter Mania a champion against CM Punk , Punks wins , both shake hand after the match and Punk is a face once again , i'm expecting his heel turn to be only temporarily

[Kurt 'Olympic Gold]

Yes, this is pretty much a given.

[Fnix]

Unfortunately the OP might be right.

The only way out of this would be Brock Lesnar costing The Rock the WWE title match at the Royal Rumble, leading to The Rock vs Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 29.

Can't see Rock facing Punk at Mania, Punk is not big enough. Although they do have Cena/Taker/Brock/Trips on the show too, and there will be a one on one (probably Taker vs Brock) out of them lot, so I guess that's alright and makes the match slightly more possible.

I see no reason why we can't have a Rock vs Punk match that is not for the belt, they can easily have Rock put his WWE Title quest or whatever on hold for a grudge match with Punk, could squeeze that in somewhere.
