Foreshadowing of The Future?

So...I found an interesting little thing in the WWE Undipusted title match picture for CM Punk vs. John Cena at Summerslam. I'm going to post it here, and tell me if you spot it.

Did you see it....? Well, notice the title on CM Punk's shoulder...it's...not locked. The "W" center piece is to the side. Now, I have a replica WWE Championship, and when I put it over my shoulder like that, The "W" does move to about that spot. Which, leads me to think two things.

1. Maybe here in the future, maybe next weeks Raw, CM Punk spins the WWE title for the first time in a long time. I bet you that will get a big pop.

or

2. I'm looking way to far into this, and it was just used for the photo shoot to have the two belts stand out from each other.

I don't know. What do you think?

Nice, I'd love to see CM do it and say the belt was designed due to Cena and it's time CM Punk does the same.

I heard something that Cena's passing on the torch

Could totally see Punk doing that. Think you are reading too much into this but could actually see that happen. It fits his character.

I'm going to go with 2.

What makes you think they're planning to have this picture that was taken last week tied into some future event of him spinning the belt. Why would the spun belt be required to be in this picture? Wouldn't it be simpler to convey to the audience that the picture was taken before that. Now isn't it far more likely that some kid saw Punk before this picture was taken and asked to spin it? Or that they just didn't want the belt to look like a mirror of the other belt.

I don't think that picture of Punk was taken with the title, I think it was Photoshopped in. I've noticed the WWE have been doing that with their Superstars when they become a champion and haven't previously held the certain belt.

The WWE probably found an image of the WWE Championship back when the 'W' spun and it fit the Punk image perfectly.

Nice spot but I do think you are looking too far into it. It probably means nothing and maybe was just done to make the belts stand out from each other. It would be better if Punk simply dropped that design and introduced a new one if he wins at SummerSlam and walks away as champion.

Punk doesn't really have the belt on in the pic. Like Aniking said, a lot of those pics just get a title photoshopped in. Some of them look almost comically bad, but this one is pretty good. Good, but shopped non-the-less.

I think you could be onto something. Not so much your spinning the belt theory but because the title is a spinner belt. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Punk is the true WWE champion and Cena is just the fake champ. Sort of like UFC had when Brock Lesnar was in hospital you know what I mean. personally i think the belt needs a change and this feud does provide the perfect opportunity for a new design.

I believe the WWE logo showing towards us is proving he's the real champion, nothing else.

Either way this Sunday the match will be a classic and I really hope we do see a new design for the WWE belt.
