Reason Why CM Punk Was Replaced At Unforgiven

[Toddy]

CM Punk didn't wrestle at Unforgiven last night so he could sell his backstage injury storyline involving Randy Orton. He's not actually injured, it was a creative team decision. He will be at RAW tonight.

There were reports last week that his replacement would be Edge, Randy Orton or Chris Jericho

Interesting they would do this

Not really. Hypes the shit outta the Punk/Orton returnig fued. They set up a new faction whilst doing this. Punk can lose the title this way, and not continue his underdog style title reign.

Now, Jericho is champion on top of this, and all the above sorta shocked the wrestling community!

So what, is Orton still out or what? I could've swore I didn't see a sling on him, at Unforgiven...

Thank God that Punk didn't get injured somewhere. This is a really good move, but the title didn't need to change hands. Oh well, im happy at this decision nevertheless, but not too much the Orton stable.

i demand punk get the tile back NOW

I see in th enear future like No Mercy or somewhere like that a CM Punk vs Randy Orton match up following their "Injury Feud" also giving the winner a shot at Jericho's title or a 3 way match at that very ppv... one of the two is quite predictable.

 

[Moonlight Drive]

That was awesome. We get a new stable, plus Afa who I am a big fan of since he is part of the Anoa'i Family (who are all Pure Awesomeness in a Can) and JERICHO IS CHAMP!

Punk v Orton looks like it is going to be an In-Fucking-Credible feud

 

[Soulpower]

This is slang for.. Punk was caught doing Heroin in the back :shifty:

ROFL Soulpower!

After thinking about this over night (i was rather pissed last night about how they did this, and i still am) Jericho vs. Punk could actually be an awesome feud if thats what they are heading towards. They are both smaller guys that can really move when they need to and have styles that I think will complement each other really well.

Orton and Punk has potential, and it seems that is what everyone thinks will happen, but I really don't see Punk having a chance against Orton. I'd much rather see Punk and Jericho with Orton's new stable going after Cena or better yet, Batista.

I think that the TNA creative team attacked the WWE creative team and took their place last night.

 

[Evil Austin]

^ LOL TNA ..... it does sound like sometihng they would do -

Anyway so I don't spam I will once again say I want a triple threat match at the next ppv Jericho / Punk / Orton - Punk winning - HBK screws Jericho cause they never had their match at Forgiven and Punk some how overcomes the odds and beats Orton with Priceless...

 

[Edge+Bret Hart]

I really thought that Edge was gonna be the replacement yesterday... Orton was injured and what happend to Jericho by the hands of HBK, I thought would count him out.

But Jericho getting the belt should be interesting.

 

[chessarmy]

I didn't get to see Unforgiven yet, last night the streams were terrible and I thought it wasn't worth ordering. All I have to say is, I'm shocked. Jericho is World Champion...wow. Thats pretty fucking awesome imo. I'm surprised that Punk went through with the angle, I would imagine that he would rather lose the title in the actual match rather than get attacked from behind. I'll reserve my judgment about that once I get to see the PPV though (its downloading right now)

 

[Brandon Blaze]

I guess they did this so its not like he really lost the title or something...That way setting up a storyline where he saying he was not even in the match he gets rematch at PPV and loses...Then Orton comes back him and Punk feud then they both get involved in the title picture with Orton winning the belt in the end in a Triple Threat Match.

 

[Michael1]

I really wonder why CM Punk wasn't involved with the Raw scramble, but all I have to say is thank god that Chris Jericho is now World Heavyweight Champion! Finally!

 

[Headfirst For Hardcore]

I'm fine with how everything ended up, but not how they went down. Punk really was starting to look weak as champ, and having Jericho win it out of the blue was pretty crazy, with him having nothing to do with HBK out. The Orton stable sounds sick, but I'm not too big on having a stupid Wild Samoan in it.
