Crayo said:Not a bad way to end it at all considering the circumstances. It seems too logical for WWE so expect something the complete opposite, like Ryback actually beating CM Punk.
Unfortunately, I see them doing this and hotshotting the title back onto Punk before the Rumble, which just damages the credibility of the champion and both guys in the match, so...no big deal. #wwelogic
I don't think Ryback needs the streak. They can continue to build the character with a loss, if the win is "dirty" (although it would technically be within the rules in a no-dq match, but you get my point). Have Brock (or Swagger, or somebody who might be some kind of shock) come out, get into the cage, and work with Punk to thrash Ryback, have Punk get the pin and retain the title, now you can do what you want with Punk and Cena and Ryback has a feud with whoever was the surprise entrant who helped Punk (the more I think about it, Swagger would be perfect for that; he's a big guy who has a history and needs some kind of jolt to his character to be relevant when he returns...being part of a Heyman-led stable with Punk, Brock, and Swagger would be perfect for him). #TeamOptimism
