I was wondering, everyone assumes that because PUNK is in MITB that there'll be no IC match at WM. Given that there is a PPV between now and WM, couldn't Punk drop the belt to say Regal at teh next PPV and Regal face someone at WM for the title? Is there really going to be no IC title match at WM? AGAIN!!!!!!

This is becoming as predictable as every WM ending in 3 being in Chicago and has to stop sooner or later. Wrestlemania 3: Pontiac, MI Wrestlemania 13: Chicago, IL Wrestlemania 23: Detroit, MI

I dont think it will happen. I also dont think the United States Title will be defended as well.

Punk is in MitB, thus cementing the fact the IC title is more or less irrelevant, even to the one who's holding it [kayfabe], thus it won't be defended

I love how, in the same damn show, they have Ricky Steamboat proclaiming winning the IC belt was the highlight of his career, yet they have the IC champ going into MITB.
Senseless.

They really need to give a young up and coming heel a long title reign. Look at what Orton's title reign did for the IC title. Yeah, he didn't defend it at Mania, but the title meant more than it does now.

It's kinda weird looking back, but really Santino's reign was something of a recent highpoint for the title. At least he seemed to care about it.

At the rate they're going RVD and Regal might be like the old Dolphins team, popping corks every Mania that passes without an IC title match.

I thought they'd done quite a good job the past few months in promoting how important the Intercontinental Championship was with the tournment and the Punk/Regal feud. I'm really in two minds about the IC champion being in the Money in the Bank match. I mean, surely the champion should be happy that he's holding the IC championship? But then again why wouldn't he want an opportunity at the TOP belt?
They could probably solve all my doubts with a simple promo from CM Punk saying how important the IC title is to him but how he wants the main gold.

What I want to know is, what was the point on Punk winning the IC belt if he was already World Heavyweight Champion?

He could of course lose it before WM on Raw and thus a small match for it is created.
I'd like to see one of the new young heels given a chance with it perhaps Cody or Ted they could defend it against say Kofi.

All WWE titles should be defended at Mania but it won't happen

I'd like to see one but i dont think the Punk/Regal feud is good enough for Mania and Punk is fairly good in MITB matches.
Plus there is no PPV between now and Mania, there never has been! What show were you thinking of?

I was hoping CM Punk vs Kane for the IC title would happen at Wrestlemania with Kelly Kelly turning on Punk to give Kane the win. Punk won't win MITB again anyways. If the US title match happens, it will be MVP (c) vs Mr. Kennedy. If not, both will be in MITB
