This is a variation of a post I made before, but I decided to give it its own thread.
I've been thinking about it a bit- let's say that the WWE doesn't want CM Punk to drop and then chase the WHC, and they choose to have him defend it for a while. I'm coming to the conclusion that it might be detrimental to Young Peezy if Raw instantly revolved around him after three weeks.
The first reason is that WWE fans haven't gotten to know him like they have a HHH, which is why he can change the landscape of Smackdown upon arrival as opposed to a newer superstar. Secondly, you run the risk of a quick burnout on Punk by the fans if he runs through top stars in a short period (which is something I'm afraid could start happening with Batista at the Bash, but I'm hoping Kane or someone else causes a DQ).
Brock Lesnar's development, IMO, is a prime example as to why it's a poor idea, as I think his 4-5 month rocket to invincibility (over Rock, Undertaker, and freaking' HOGAN) hurt his drawing potential- too much too soon. At least Kurt Angle did some cheating to balance out his first big push.
In otherwords, I hope the WWE does with Punk what they did with Cena, and not have him main event his first couple of cross-brand PPVs, so fans can get weaned. Thoughts?

I agree and im almost 100% certain HHH and Edge are main eventing the Bash and likely Summerslam as well.

I never saw the problem with Brock's push. They pushed him as the unstoppable total package that had no weakness. He wasn't supposed to lose. If he truly loved the business he could have stayed here for years to come and not had a problem drawing. He would always be Brock Lesnar, all they would need to do is build some more credible opponents for him, because then you have two powerful entities going head to head each time and it will have the big match feel.
It shouldn't happen with Punk though. It's not believable that he runs through everyone. I don't think this should be a long title reign either. A drop at Summerslam would be fine. Then they can build him up to their hearts content. It's not healthy to be building your show around someone, or having the champion be, someone that isn't one of the most over guys on the show, and I think if there was a single roster or single brand PPV's he wouldn't be champion right now.

I can see this ending up like that family guy gag, and CM Punk would have a trashcan for a leg and a broom for an arm.

Put the mask back on him and give him his rapping gimmick back. Oh and make him a super hero again. ALSO make him grow his hair back.
P.S. Let him do the shooting star press again.

That really doesn't make any sense, dude... ...I don't remember CM Punk ever doing a Shooting Star. Anyone have proof? |

Also have him form the Nation of Domination with MVP, Big Daddy V, Mark Henry and Tony Atlas, that'll be the solution to all the WWE's problems. |

Punk wears wristtape and that's not the kind of look WWE is looking for. He'll never get called up with that kind of attitude. |
