CM Punk Vs. Ryback At Hell In A Cell

Things just got a little interesting. The WWE is running with CM Punk vs. Ryback for the WWE Championship inside Hell in a Cell. Obviously, Cena will not be 100% ready for such a match in time. If he was, they would definitely have wanted him in there. If he was, this push Ryback was getting really would have ended up being just a mini-feud. With Cena not in it, Ryback will get the biggest match of his career in just a few weeks. He is headlining a PPV, going after the WWE Champion, and inside Hell in a Cell.

Something will have to give in this match. Ryback is undefeated. But will they hand him the WWE Championship this fast, ending Punk's lengthy run in a way they obviously did not expect to before Cena's injury. Because this is a Hell in a Cell match, you are not going to get a DQ ending to save Ryback's streak. He will either beat CM Punk for the WWE Championship or take his first defeat. This is good hype. Will it sell the PPV? Ryback has been getting very over lately. People have been waiting for him to get a real match and feud. Well, here it is.

Who should win? That is not an easy question for this match. The product has been weak lately. Having Ryback win might shake things up. But is he really ready for it? The reign may not even last long. Just a little shot of the unexpected might do wonders for Raw's ratings. CM Punk can always win it back and face The Rock at the Royal Rumble. I believe Ryback should actually win. Will this turn into the kind of big push that Lesnar had? It doesn't have to. Once again, just a big change to shake things up is what they need to do. And no, I still do not consider myself a fan of Ryback. But I am a fan of something fresh and exciting, and this situation can deliver.

What about Cena? He stepped aside so Ryback can get this match. That is not the first time this has happened. Just go back to TLC last year. Cena once again has his character shine. No need to cry for him. He doesn't need the title to be the centerpiece, anyway.
