Beth is Punk's real life girlfriend and she really isn't doing anything else, so why not?
I first thought of this when Triple H mentioned her after Punk left his interruption at comic-con. It could play out similarly to when Matt Hardy left SmackDown in 2004 when Heyman was GM, and Heyman spent weeks punishing Shannon Moore for Matt leaving. Except this time the Anonymous GM (I don't think Triple H will go full-blown heel for a while) keeps putting Beth in handicap matches and various other situations.

Triple H namedropping her at Comic-Con kinda brought her in, already, doesn't it?

"I don't hate you Kelly Kelly, I actually like you, I just hate the idea that you're the best..."
Nah.

At the same time, did anybody really hear it when Trips said it? By the time it came out of his mouth, Punk was already out the door.
So I go with no, since they tried, and it didn't work out as planned.

I hope so.
I want Beth to be a kickass valet for Punk when he comes back. Kinda like what Nattie was doing when the Hart Dynasty were heels; she doesn't always get involved but she's capable of dishing out some pain when it matters.
Plus it just fits into Punk's mission so well; Beth is arguably the most talented woman on the roster and is hardly seen so Kelly can botch her way through a one minute match.

Im not sure tbh. It could build some good sympathy for Beth by having HHH pretty much hold her hostage in order to get Punk back, but on the other hand, I dont want them to flat out align Hunter as heel and Punk as face, which is what happens if they do that.
Leave her out of it.

What did Triple-H say about Beth I didn't catch it?
I take it he said something after Punk mentioned Steph?

Beth COULD be used as a bargaining chip to get Punk back. Make her life miserable until Punk is willing to defend his title again. Could be a little cheap though, since the only kayfabe interaction between Punk and Beth was fighting each other at the Royal Rumble. Could come off as "hey, I just figured out Beth is dating Punk, so I'm gonna make her miserable, so just accept this plot development that we never actually established before!"

Probably not.
Miz and Maryse have been dating for like forever, and they've never been put together even if their character archetypes go together perfectly. Beth's character doesn't fit at all with Punk's.

How long do Punk's relationships last anyway? Better play it safe and not bring her into it  Punk could have more Divas playing his girlfriend in this one angle than Orton's had wives since 2009. |

Beth could be utilized smartly and it'd get her over in a big way. Its a branch of the angle that could be considered. I think there would be a fine line introducing her into even a supportive role, but it could be done well.

Beth's character doesn't fit at all with Punk's. There was that one moment where The Miz was cutting a promo and Maryse was giving him some serious Bedroom Eyes in the background. Miz...that lucky so and so. |

I don't think so...I'd rather not, too. I'd prefer they kept this as a single man (in this case Punk) issue as long as possible. Beth is a WWE employee while Punk is kayfabe not, so that complicates things further.

I thought Beth was married to some wrestler named Joey Knight? Then I heard she dated Cody Rhodes. Now she's dating CM Punk?

She really wouldn't fit at all with the story they're telling. They need to keep the players involved pretty limited, so as not to make it convoluted by oversaturation.
