well I think he will lose the wwe title to cena, may win it again before the year ends, but next year he will lose the title to the rock at royal, and he will be out of the main events i guaranteed that, orton need to be the wwe champion again, the ratings speaks for herselfes,

So who's gonna be the top heel? Sheamus? He's practically Cena 2.0, he's not going heel anytime soon. Orton? He's peaked, so he probably won't be the top heel, and if he is, it'll probably only be on SmackDown. Barrett? Ha. Never, not while Vince has anything to say about it. He's the ideal choice but when you're English, you're on Vince's shit list. What are you gonna do? Ziggler? Total main event jobber, won't happen. Miz? Probably not going to be THE top heel for a long time again. Bryan? Probably not, WWE doesn't have enough faith in him regardless of how over he is. Del Rio? Maybe, but he's not that over, they tried that before, they'll probably stick to him being a top level heel on SmackDown where things aren't that important. Sandow? Unlikely. Ambrose? Even more unlikely. Swagger? Double even more unlikely.

You see the options they're left with. It's basically Punk or a bunch of nobodies. If he works with Rock, which he will, it's gonna be hard for him to fall back into the midcard. And don't mention vs Miz and Truth because that was only a tune up match.

I don't think so, not at all. I think it's more people are being realistic going by the past of WWE. To be fair, an "upper" midcarder is still a midcarder. Even as WWE champion C.M. Punk rarely goes on in the main event. So is it really that far-fetched to think that without the title, he will continue to not main event?

I'm not a C.M. Punk hater & although I do tend to be facetious a lot of the time, I truly believe, non-ironically, that Punk will be a "midcarder" without the title, by the true definition of the word. But then I think we're just arguing semantics at that point.

Did we not already have this same argument with guys in the past, anyway? Everyone from Chris Benoit to The Miz.

I know there is a few on this forum who genuinely dislike Punk but around 80% of them are just trolls looking for a reaction. People give that to them and thus there is the same thread on here everyday talking about the same shit.

I want to say I read somewhere he actually intends to be done with WWE period after he loses the title, but I'm not entirely sure how accurate that is. If it was even something he said at all.

It's a very real possibility. Once he is out of the title picture, unless they have something planned that will give him spotlight over Cena (yeah right lol), he runs the risk of becoming Miz. I'd personally hate to see that happen. WWE needs all the top level talent they can get right now. Letting Punk drop off the radar when he loses the belt would be awful.

Well. If you think about it Punk has been going on second last, as champion. Cena will most likely be the next Champion, or feuding with the next Champion(Rock) if Punk retains. So with the title on Cena, in the main event, Punk may keep his current card position. This is just mean hoping of course, due to being a mark. But he could easily slide away.



He only ever main-evented above Cena with Triple H as his opponent. No chance of that happening now. As for dropping off the radar, it has a chance of happening, sadly.

Nothing will change if he loses the title to Cena. Cena's program will be the biggest no matter who he faces and whatever Punk is in will be the second biggest. However Punk isn't going back to the mid-card.

The troll is strong in this one.

Of course he will. WWE's trying to focus on what they think will be "the next big thing". They tried Miz, Orton, Barett, and Punk. For one reason or another, none of them worked out. So yes, Punk will be out of the spotlight, and will probably be below Orton in terms of booking and status, since Orton (for some reason) is super over right now.


That's how the business works, really. It'll be interesting to see WWE's next experiment once Punk's out of the picture.

There is when you're WWE Champion but WWE have done a pretty good job of making wins/losses & titles not matter, so I guess it's a moot point.

I could go off on a rant about how having two world champions & a Smackdown "brand" is bad but I think it would be a waste of energy. Needless to say, WWE is in full-on don't-give-a-fuck mode & they're straight-up coasting. It doesn't even matter, either. Put out a mediocre product, half-ass your way through the entire year & still get the most buys for a 'Mania ever by slapping The Rock in main event.

Sucks for the fans that watch any non-Wrestlemania WWE show, especially the weekly regulars.

After being main eventer is strange to be back at the midcarder status

Unless he retains the title until Wrestlemania and beats The Undertaker in Wrestlemania for the title he will go to the mid card. Face it: doesn't have the right look, is the wwe champ and is only half time Main Eventer, there's a lot of Main Event material in WWE whom haven't got the push yet, WWE needs to refresh from time to time... It will be like The Miz, but he will come back to Main Event after a while, maybe right before he retires...

Depends on your definition of "midcarder." To some, anyone not currently main-eventing is a midcarder. To others, you can be a main-eventer and work the midcard or whatever you wish to call it while John Cena stays at the top doing whatever he's doing.

I can't see him literally vying for a midcard strap again once he's done working with John Cena again and The Rock for The Royal Rumble. He's going to be a "name" for the rest of his career regardless of card positioning.

What has been damaged, though, is the WWE Championship, and that attrition of prestige hit its nadir this week with Cena's narcissistic character, who is, humorously, beloved by the majority of WWE's fans, saying that the WWE Championship is irrelevant so long as it remains outside of his particular orbit. Which, in essence, is what he said.

Punk's promo vs. Del Rio last fall was largely different in that it assailed Del Rio's character for being one-note and boring, but he did cross the line, too, with the remark that he would make the WWE Championship "interesting again," indicating that the championship was not interesting so long as Del Rio wore it.

Can't wait for the promos between Rock and Punk in January with Rock saying he's going to save the championship from tedium. "You come out here and run your mouth and say you're the Best in the World-uh, the Straight-uh Edge-uh Champion-uh..." Etceteras, etceteras. Hahaha.

Punk's going to be a big part of the show regardless. People act like anyone not feuding for the title is a midcarder. Going forward for the rest of his career. Punk will probably have a similar role to jericho, because they can make any angle interesting, but will be in the title scene more often. he will still be in WWE's top 5 singles guys
