I am glad with how the major storyline going on right now has progressed recently. Triple H defeated CM Punk to stay COO. Prior to that, there were some issues with R-Truth and Miz. Those issues came up again on Raw. This all eventually led to Miz and R-Truth being released in kayfabe (storyline). Go back a step. Kevin Nash did show up to try to get involved in the match. John Laurinaitis definitely does want some power.
Things are getting drawn out. This is exactly what I wanted to see. This is storyline development. No wasted promos about ice cream and being held back, all of which seems to lead to no real end in the plot. How could it be even better? How about some swerves? Kevin Nash returning did not surprise me. He has issues with both CM Punk and Triple H. If you were watching Raw and Smackdown, you know why. Laurinaitis getting involved in all this does not surprise me either. He is either out for power or the pawn of someone else. Even R-Truth and Miz doing there thing on Raw did not surprise me. They were talking about the job Triple H was doing and all that for weeks now. The WWE was not giving a good reason for them to really be against Triple H, but they brought it recently. You can see why these guys would want to really align with Laurinaitis now. Everything is making sense, and that is good, but I would still like to see a good shocker. Have someone join the heels that would be totally unexpected. Cena? Would the WWE do it? The way things are going, a bitter Del Rio will probably be released and joining Laurinaitis next. In any case, if not having someone turn, have someone else return and join in this. Nash's return was somewhat surprising, but he did return earlier this year and had been waiting for something to do for months. Can the WWE do better? In any case, things do seem to be getting interesting again.
CM Punk. He wasn't hitting Triple H with the mic this week. And he didn't kick Cena in the head after tagging with him in the main event. He is pretty much a face now. He was a tweener before. How does that make CM Punk fans feel? He did this whole bitter, self-righteous rant a few months ago. He sold thousands of shirts and could barely get Raw ratings above a 3.2. He is the savior of pro wrestling. In the end, nothing has really changed. It helped to start this storyline that is now going on, but no legitimate change has been made. But he now seems to be getting tamed. His promos are no longer really about overrating himself and putting down those with whom he is feuding or the status quo. His promos now revolve around continuing the storyline. Of course, I am only basing this off of one night. Then again, I really can't picture the WWE spending too much more time on having Punk rant needlessly. He is not The Rock. He is not drawing that epically. I am not complaining about this, and I certainly am not doing this to really point out that I saw it coming, but I am pointing this out to show that this really is how the WWE typically handles things. CM Punk will get his rematch for the WWE title, but who is now holding the title? The man who holds the record for holding it more times than anyone else. He has not beaten Ric Flair's record yet, but why not? Who else is the WWE going to have do it? CM Punk?
