Had a good scenario brought up at another forum, I added a couple of more ideas to it, but didn't get the desired feedback since nothing serious can happen there I guess. Hopefully will get some better feedback here.
All props to Proof even though he probably will not see this.
Thoughts?

Proof said:I just had this really cum in my pants idea over all of this that would not only make Punk the new Austin 3:16 in a way, but also revive wrestling for the general masses.
What if CM Punk leaves the WWE with the WWE Championship?
What if, they have their match, Punk wins the belt, and goes on to RAW the next few weeks cutting amazingly fantabulous promos about how he's leaving the WWE with the belt. The WWE really builds it up as standard as they can, giving off that feel that Cena's going to be the super hero and save the day and keep the belt with the WWE, sending CM Punk off with nothing. This gets the Cena marks all pumped up, and gets the rest of the people interested, but sort of expecting the standard WWE protocol to come into play with Cena winning.
The next PPV comes, they have their match. One of those slobberfests with multiple falls and some pretty painful looking spots. It's one of those matches where it's fake finishes everywhere, constantly someone raising a shoulder/arm. Then they'll get their Cena machine going, and he'll do the standard Hulking up, only to have a complete fucking surprise ending with a GTS somehow being fitted in with a sinister grin on Punk's face, ending with the 123. Punk wins the belt, and "leaves" the WWE.
At this point, people have thought that when Punk left WWE, he was being offically released, etc. They'll have "released" him on the website, taking down all his pictures, signs of him, etc, doing newsbytes with some legit news outlets about having their belt lost to someone not under contract, defending it elsewhere, etc. They'll really amp up kayfabe. This will all be a show, and he will still under contract, WWE will be in agreement with other companies, Punk will take the WWE Belt with him and defend it in companies such as ROH and NJPW.
They'll create a media buzz for the first time about a champion taking a belt and defending it in another company since Ric Flair, almost 20 years ago. Punk will successfully defend the title against all the company's best where he goes, creating a buzz in Japan (and maybe even worldwide) by working with NJPW as the WWE Champion (with NJPW working with WWE to further the story that he is not under contract to them and is their Champion).
They can run this angle with other companies of their choosing for a short period like 2 or 3 months, enough to keep the newspapers printing stories about wrestling, then do the obvious and pull some sort of angle requiring Punk to defend the championship to a contracted WWE superstar, ending in the angle of Punk getting his big run that he wanted, getting his time off, and the WWE and all of wrestling way better off because of it.
Me said:Could all work, could even have WWE make a new belt or even bring back an old one.
Problem would be who would Punk have to defend the belt against? With Cena and Rock being set in stone, there is no one else to keep the buzz going.
Why not, have Steve Austin show up unnanounced at a show and have him talk up what Punk did and put over how much the title means to people like him and all the others who carried it and about how Punk just shat all over them with him taking the belt and leaving.
Maybe he could bring back the Smoking Skull belt, or even better the winged eagle one from the Attitude Era and challenge Punk to defend the title against him, since they were having a back and forth on Twitter and Punk wearing a Stone Cold shirt during his "shoot". Bringing Steve Austin out of retirement for one more match against the guy who just made himself a legend among the smark community could bring in even more people than Cena/Rock would.
