Oi, is it really that hard to believe they'd have Ryback take the title in October then have Punk grow increasingly desperate to regain the belt by the end of January for his match against the Rock?
Punk winning or even retaining is just not as good as him losing the belt right now. If he doesn't lose it now he's no going to before the Rumble. As frustrating as some of the blind faith support Punk gets it's refreshing seeing a ppv where everyone doesn't know what's going to happen. Punk not losing this match locks down not losing until at least the Rumble.
But if you give the belt to Ryback. It's still a lock that Punk gets it back by the Rumble but you don't know how. Throw the Rock in it after Survivor Series. Have him and Punk go at on the mic while the champ just listens and eats. TLC have Punk take the belt back in a screwy finish then duck Ryback. Ryback runs all over the Rumble match. Punk beats the Rock. Ryback/Punk at Mania gets set for the title.
Ryback gets built during all this. Punk/Rock still goes down with Punk going over. Ryback takes a lose getting rid of the streak handicap. Ryback/Punk at Mania for the title suddenly got what like a 5 month build and is where the heel finally gets what's coming to him.
Or hell just put the belt on Ryback, and take the risk. See if there's a change in the ratings or buys. See if the fans don't turn on him after he has to deliver in a 20min main event match. See if maybe the 'E can add a fresh face to the main event without the fans turning on them or creative neutering them. If not? Well then you still got 2 months to put the belt back on Punk and let Ryback fall off the face of the Earth.
