How long do we have?

[VengeanceGOD]

As of tonight, we've got an AMAZING line up. Bryan and Del Rio are the MITB holders, Christian's the World Heavyweight Champion, and CM Punk is the WWE Champion. So how long do you think it will last?

Please don't mention del Rio winning as if it's a good thing.

It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing.

Tuesday when Randy beats Christian again at the SD tapings.

Take your negativity somewhere else.....especially when you don't even watch to begin with!

Till SmackDown's tapings

[Paco]

As long as Punk wants us to have.
Raw tomorrow? SummerSlam?

[kingoftheindies]

probably till Summerslam. As much as I've loved everything, WWE tends to do their big summer blowoffs at SS.

Though honestly they can drag it to Mania if they want, BUT keeping things interesting may be hard.

I say they need to aim for Survivor Series, MAYBE Rumble. 4-6 months of programing, BUT the downfall is Sumerslam is the number 2 PPV and with Mania being a dud, I can see them going for the big quick buy

It's lazy. Del Rio had a ready made title shot for Summerslam all ready. He won the number 1 contender-ship match and could easily have come out on Raw tomorrow and claimed he was the rightful number one contender. Instead, they've delayed his championship run AGAIN and given him a push that easily could have gone to someone else who needed it.

[cool guy]

Punk will somehow lose the title at the next Smackdown taping.

Basically. I don't like the guy in the first place, but he really doesn't need it - he had plenty of a claim to a shot as it was.

Granted, I'm also convinced that nothing short of ripping Cena's heart out will get the man over. He's the new McIntyre... which implies that he'll eventually become good only to cease being pushed.

[DSR]

The start of Raw will have Vince announce that he and Del Rio followed Punk to his hotel, where an impromptu cash in of MITB took place, and Vince counted the 1-2-3. New champion.

Seriously, I have no idea when this will end.

Then Bryan cashes in his briefcase, and Orton beats him too.

I'm with you. he already had a "shot" he should get. he already won the royal rumble as well but you know what? he still gets poor crowd reactions and delivers boring promos since coming to raw.

seems he won just to be a stooge for Vince. still someone else could have done that.

[Paco]

Del Rio not over? Something must be wrong with my TV set then.

[Dub H]

I hope Vince gets angyr at Del Rio,and strips the brief case from him.

Damn right it's a good thing. There is no way Del Rio is not getting the belt by the end of the year. Imagine the following setup: Del Rio has his #1 contender's match against whichever champ, and as soon as the bell rings, ADR bashes the champ's living brains in with a chair to totally knock him out cold. ADR is disqualified. Del Rio then cashes in his MiTB briefcase and pins the unconscious champ to win the belt. This can happen.

To the people saying "Tommorrow night," how do we even know Punk will be there tommorrow night?

Vince may be the owner, but Punk does hold the belt.

If Punk shows up tomorrow, the whole thing is pointless. He may as well have lost tonight. Ideally for me, the WWE belt has to show up in ROH (of which, I haven't not seen a single second of programming) or whatever promotion Vince has struck a deal with.

They have tremendous potential here. I was sure they'd go the safe route at MITB, but they didn't. I hope they can keep this up.

Tomorrow Vince opens with a promo and says where WWE is going. Punk should dovetail back in later.
