A chump? Big Show, John Cena and The Rock were left lying on the ground, while CM Punk was the only one left standing, walking out of the arena as the WWE Champion. How that makes him look like a chump is beyond me. He had to have Big Show save the title for him twice inside of about five minutes?

Eh, let him be a heel for a little while. He can face The Rock, and the fans will turn him face soon enough anyway.
As long as he keeps his main-event spot, I'm down.

I'll go ahead and say it .... that ENDING WAS s*** to a good show. Punk looked like a loser waiting for Big Show, then waiting around for the pin.
Why the sudden change? It makes no sense at all. He's got what he's wanted, he's been champion.
He stands around while Big Show does the work which again makes no sense. He was acting himself earlier in the night to laugh at Bryan.
Does The Rock piss him off that much?
Stupid. I just completely lost interest.

I really don't care about any details,I love Punk but loved him way more as a heel,so glad that this turn happened. Also,it was great that he got to have the upper hand on Rock.

People will always argue that Punk is a better heel, and I agree.
But there's a time and place for everything, and that is not now. I can't believe they just completely backpedal the last year of build, just so we can only have one true face of the company.

They are turning the wrong guy, but it at least should make for some entertaining promos.
I am going to guess that when Punk got put in the STF, he realized that being beloved was not as good as being the champion.

Punk is better as a heel, but it's just way too soon.

Punk is a heel. That much is obvious. He's not your standard heel though but he's a heel. Hell, Lawler saying he turned his back on the WWE Universe is proof of that. It's what the WWE wants you to think and also given the fact that he attacked Rock of all people is more proof. Punk's best as a heel anyway although I loved face Punk. I wish he was face longer, a few more years. I didn't expect this.
Not only that but when's the last time you saw a dominant WWE champion like that?
I'm shocked but I guess what happens happens.

How the hell did Punk look like a chump? He got the upper hand on the Rock.

And WWE's relationship with John Cena continues to be the definition of "putting all your eggs in one basket".

Terrible end. A big DQ end to the title match is bad enough, but serious wtf?!

Errm didn't Punk call 'Dwayne' an ass kisser in his promo last year? This makes perfect sense, Punk just doesn't like 'Dwayne'.

The show was great because of the nostalgia... it certainly doesnt make things look great going foward, and thats a BAD thing. Dude, yeah...this for sure.

I still don't see why Punk is a heel
He honourably gave Cena ample time to recover before going for a pinfall, and then decked Rock, who may be his future opponent.
That's heelish?

No it didn't. Punk needs to turn heel if he's facing Rock. He chose to defend the title over being a face. Stop whining, it's good storytelling. Um, he isn't facing The Rock until the Royal Rumble. Rocky's probably going home until he needs to promote GI Joe. So that line of logic doesn't really compute.

I loved how Lawler immediately said "CM Punk has turned on the WWE Universe!", cos we can't do with a little ambiguity.
I like the idea of Punk vs Rock, but the execution could've been better.

CM Punk is the type of character whose explanation you have to hear before you know if he's a face or a heel. Punk is a complex dude. Need to know what's going on in his head before I classify him as a heel.
