I vote Punk cause he can get me interested in the feud more than Bryan can via pipe-bombing tactics. I can't wait to see how he (Punk) deals with A.J. (the person who's most addicted to something in all of the WWE). I hope to see Punk on Smackdown! to add fuel to the feud since he really didn't appear on RAW at all.

Think of the money to be made if they hadn't wasted this on TV 3 times already.

Think of the money to be made if they hadn't wasted this on TV 3 times already. Frankly, those TV matches, if played up right, are going to add fuel to this match. Punk has wrestled Bryan three times, and Punk has never beaten him. Their record currently stands at 2-0-1 in Bryan's favor. Bryan's victories were as tainted as possible, and even the draw is controversial, but nonetheless these are two guys who were portrayed as absolutely neck and neck when they wrestled without a title on the line. Plus, Bryan wouldn't even be as big a deal as he is now if not for those matches. Going 50-50 with the WWE Champion did wonders for Bryan, probably more than any other matches in his reign. Much like how last year: Punk/Cena happened three times on TV, Punk won all three times (via dubious means), the PPV title match did a good buyrate. The entire Bryan/Punk TV minifeud felt to me like an explicit attempt to recreate that. |

Considering I can't stand either of them, I'm rooting for neither of them. Part of me hopes we can get Lesnar to lay the both of them out.

Either way, I'm taking a break from watching for awhile so I won't wind up seeing this, but if I have to route for one I'll say Bryan, since Punk's boring to me lately and his title reign feels like it's been going on for ages. Plus other than Cena and Lesnar he's run through every potential challenger. |

So happy this match is happening. I expect nothing less than absolute greatness from these two in the next month. Voted Punk because I want his reign to continue for quite some time.

Makes me so happy to see the guy berated for having zero charisma become one of the best promo guys in the company.

CM Punk should win, but I would love to see Bryan win. He won't. I'm just hoping for a great match without shenanigans.

I dunno, I could see Bryan winning to lead into something with Laurinaitis having more complete control. The fact that he can't manage to get any titles away from any of his enemies doesn't exactly make him a great antagonist.

I'm so glad they are going with this. Give them 25-30 minutes please. That said, I'll go with Punk to win, and then Bryan to get it at the next PPV.

The fact that he can't manage to get any titles away from any of his enemies doesn't exactly make him a great antagonist. He would need to knock Sheamus off as well for complete control as he doesnt like him either. Would make sense for Sheamus to loose it to Christian or Del Rio. Hopefully Christian not Del Rio, then DB wins it either at this ppv, or NWO, or MITB. Ideally I would want Ace having full control with both champions heading into Survivor Series, and having both the title matches and a traditional survivor series match decide Ace's fate. 2 out of the 3 matches are lost at his end so either the belt is taken off Christian or DB, and they loose the traditional ss match as well. Leading to Paul Heyman becoming the new GM of both shows, not knowing if he is on Brock's side or not. |

I'm going to cheer for Bryan, but I'm happy to see my 2 favorite guys in WWE and two of my all time favorites going at it on the biggest stage.
