www.wwe.com/shows/raw/preview/Sorry if this was already posted, didn't see it anywhere. Lock away if it was. Sounds like he's gonna challenge him to a beer drinking contest.

Yep, definitely beer drinking contest. If they do anything resembling the Raven/Punk bit from ROH with Raven shoving beer down Punk's throat, I'll give them the biggest standing ovation I possibly can ...while sitting in a chair....
Er yeah, point is I really hope they do it.

Man, I don't think a dude with this amount of talent has been booked this badly as World Champion, yeah maybe Rey but that was different. It kind of sucks honestly I just hope they turn him heel eventually and become "I'm straight edge which means I'm better than you!" CM Punk from ROH or at least the Punk in OVW feuding with Brent Albright.

Assuming it's a beer drinking contest, I approve.

CM Punk from ROH or at least the Punk in OVW feuding with Brent Albright. where did you get bad booking from this? How weak that CM Punk is being used on Raw and how basically he looks like he could lose the title at basically anytime and that other than beating Edge for the title I can't remember anything he has done with the title. Also most likely he'll lost a beer drinking contest against JBL and he got pinned last week by JBL so going into Summerslam he'll look like he'll lose, like he did going into GAB. Thats why I want to see Punk turn heel go insane and turn against the fans and become "I'm better than You!" CM Punk because really that the only time he's in the past been booked well. But than again that would have the top faces of Raw being Cena and Batista and well he know people wouldn't like that. |

Interesting as wasn't Raven the face in that feud? But as this is the last Raw before the PPV it almost guarantees JBL will put him over at Summerslam
I'm guessing Punk throws the beer in his face, followed by clothesline from hell and JBL drowning Punk in beer. But if Punk manages to beat down JBL I'd worry. The former would work so much better for an intense first big win provided McMahon and creative are still fully behind him as the champ. After that I can't see him not being over with the crowd.

^How is Punk losing a beer contest bad? He doesn't drink and it's not like it's meant to be taken seriously anyways.
Punk was never going to be the top dog on Raw, or have a title reign where he's defeating guys like Cena/Batista with relative ease. From what I can see, it's about him proving that he's on their level and that belongs.

They may have only announced it on WWE Mobile or whatever, but don't let that deceive you, this is the biggest segment of CM Punk's career, even moreso than the title win. Why?
This is the segment that is going to show the company (and more importantly, the fans) if he can hang with someone like JBL on the microphone. I'm sure it'll be heavily scripted, but I wish they'd just let JBL and Punk go at it improv on the mic before JBL beats him over the head with the beers and pours them on him, etc.
This is make or break for Punk.

lol at a beer sketch being make or break for his career, wow It's the first time he's going to be involved in an angle that could potentially be really emotional and important for his career. I'm hoping they go that route instead of the Austin comedy routine style Beer Drinking Contest. |

JBL feuds are a key ingredient for long term face success lately. Cena of course started his run by beating JBL for the belt and then having more feud matches like the I quit match. After Batista left his original HHH feud intact with the belt, he entered into a feud with JBL as well.
If you want a face to get a bigger reaction than they did before, just work them with JBL who is easily the top heel regardless of how many matches he loses. He can lose 5 matches in a row and instantly get 100% heat back just by cutting an in ring promo.
The fact that the straightedge thing conflicts with JBLs beer drinking makes for storyline that writes itself, not just in a possible beer drinking contest but afterwards as well. Punk really hasn't HAD much storyline since joining the WWE.
