I hate CM Punk having fun. He's supposed to be the rebellious locker room outcast, he shouldn't be allowed to have friends, or show any sign of joy outside of a sardonic grin during promos. He's supposed to be yelling at fat people, randomly backhanding people in the crowd, falsely accusing people of having vaginas, and kicking puppies. That's the Punk that entertains me.  See I know you're being sarcastic but that's EXACTLY what I want. Happy babyfaces are boring babyfaces. |

The whole segment was gold. Funny bits, and the mention of Triple H as a potential hint of things to come? I hope... YES!
The Marty DeRosa & Colt Cabana namedropping was sweet. Crowd reacted big for the Coltster.
Even the 'Let me tell you something, brother' was well placed.

CM Punk referenced the godawful tag team The Dicks. something I'm sure the company would rather leave buried (with good reason). that alone made it the best moment of Raw.

I wasn't a fan. To me, it was too comical of a promo for a feud with NO juice to it whatsoever. Also, Punk's little "Cabana" name drop really bugged me. Maybe it's because the show had already put me in a bad mood but to me, that came across as a really annoying "wink-wink internet" moment to the point where I would call it shameless pandering. I can get with the thought that taking a comedic tone to the promo may not have been a good move. But, Punk and Bryan have done nothing but hand The Wyatts their asses in this feud, so makes sense they were confident. And the mood change from "yay! internet references/cocaine 80s promo!" to "oh shit Daniel Bryan has been kidnapped and The Shield destroyed Punk" was pretty cool. Aside from the intent and all that, I thought Punk's promo was awesome. It would've been awesome without the Colt Cabana hi-yo reference, it didn't detract from it or make it better for me at all. I completely agree with you they had just crushed them at a payperveiw and were having fun in a really good fun promo. Then the match was good and the story after was amazing. Reigns taking out Punk was simply incredible. It was a segment done perfectly from beginning to end. |

They were so buddy-buddy that I can't help but think one of them will turn heel on the other sooner or later (knowing WWE, it'll be soon). There was a moment on I think it was the PPV where Bryan was kneeling down, YES-ing at the ramp and Punk is standing behind him, just looking at him. I was convinced Punk was gonna turn heel and GTS him. From what I can gather I wasn't the only one who thought the same. |

Punk should call Bryan his little buddy and smack him with a hat everytime he screws up.

I'm just glad somebody did a promo in a different format to what we've become used to.

I disagree referencing the Ring Crew Express made it the best promo ever. Because Dunn and Marcos aren't going to take it anymore. |

I hated it, tbh. Daniel Bryan was a hot commodity, bonafide Superstar of the Year candidate, and they turned him into CM Punk's goofy sidekick.
I'm just tired of Bryan's heat getting hijacked. First it was Big Show, now it's Punk. Dammit, let that boy cook!

That's a fair point and I do agree that the post match stuff was awesome. I just haven't been a fan of this feud period and this promo emphasized the problems with it, IMO. |

First it was Big Show, now it's Punk. Dammit, let that boy cook! This I can agree with, I thought it did make Bryan look like a goofy sidekick, "that guy that does the YES and has the beard!". My like for this was solely on Punk's end. Bryan has not got to cut a meaningful promo in a minute now. The one right before Summerslam with Cena was really intense, but since then it was just him smiling as Triple H and Randy Orton tore him apart and screwed him over, and now he answers Punk's Yes/No questions. |
