Should The Rock win? Some people complain about The Rock coming back and possibly being handed a title as a part-time wrestler. Did anyone complain when Moolah and Bret Hart won titles they did not really need? Their careers were already over. Of course, those two are legends and deserve the honor. The Rock can handle himself better in the ring now than those I just mentioned could when they won their final titles in the WWE. It should be a good match. It should also get people talking if Rock wins. Who better to end CM Punk's long run? And it's not like The Rock would have to hold the title too long. He has been working shows more regularly over the last few weeks than I would have expected. He's even been on Smackdown. I say he should win.
Now that it once again looks like CM Punk's title reign may legitimately be coming to an end, how about looking back just a little at how he was booked. From the PPV he won the title to where we are now, how much has he been at the mercy of John Cena? Cena has main-evented 8 PPVs without CM Punk involved in the match. CM Punk was injured for one of those PPVs, so there is that possibility that Punk may have headlined that one. CM Punk and John Cena have been involved in main-event matches with each other twice at PPVs. CM Punk has gotten the top spot without Cena twice. The first came at a PPV where Cena did not compete at all. The second came at a PPV where an injury stopped Cena from likely facing Punk in the main event. The Royal Rumble and Summerslam have been the only two PPVs where attention was on other individuals in the main event. Sheamus won the Rumble and Brock Lesnar vs. Triple H headlined Summerslam. Cena has definitely dominated, despite not winning a World title or often being on the winning side of things during that time. If The Rock was not back, would CM Punk even have a chance at possibly being in the main event now?
