Chael is an entertaining trash-talker, but I've never seen him as someone who'd excel in wrestling. One thing he does have going for him is his love for wrestling. You can see it in his promos, which sound like Superstar Graham or Ric Flair or Razor Ramon. This does make me think he could take it really seriously and try to put all of his effort into getting over and making it work.

Even though he won, he should STILL wrestle Punk at Mania.

Not a real surprise to me. Sonnen is like Faber. He can beat anyone but titleholders.

I agree on Werdum being next in line. Browne looked like garbage and landed a good shot on a dumbass. No argument there. But after Werdum, there's no much left in the heavyweight division at the moment. They can only hope that Overeem can get his shit together and rattle together some wins. Heavyweight division is looking weeeeak.

I'm telling ya, get this guy in WWE. Big question is if he could work. Bringing him in with no training and just hoping for the best is some TNA ish.

It's weird watching Chael Sonnen win after you get used to him getting owned. Apparently I have to like his promos but one thing is certain: If Chris Weidman beats Anderson Silva again, Chael is getting a title shot.

It'd make waves and get some good publicity. So you're suggesting bringing in some mid-level MMA star with little training and then having him beat one of the biggest stars going at the biggest show of the year in a carry job? Ok. Guy can cut a promo compared to other fighters. Let's not go nuts.

I think Belfort deserves the next shot if Weidman wins again but Chael will definitely talk himself into another title shot.

It's a novelty match and would probably gain publicity beyond the WWE bubble. Punk won't be damaged by it.

He's a MMA fighter that was on the bubble of retirement until tonight. The only audience you'd be playing to are hardcore MMA fans and they aren't going to suddenly buy Mania just because a fighter is fake fighting. There's no publicity gain at all. Chael is not Floyd Mayweather or Mike Tyson. The only person that'd probably pop for it is Punk himself.

But rather just a new opponent, who could offer something different from the usual interchangable feuds and matches that we see in WWE. Wrestlemania tends to be now a place for one-off novelty acts anyway. Snooki....Lawrence Taylor....Mr T....Mayweather....Tyson etc. He's already got a "sports-entertainment" vibe about him, and would fit pretty well as a special attraction if promoted right.
