Granted, I felt the whole Summer of Punk 2.0 was booked completely wrong.
Here's how I felt it should've went down:
Everything up to MiTB was fine. Punk wins, leaves with the WWE Championship.
They continue with the Vince is relieved of his duties, Triple H is in charge. They continue with the WWE Championship tournament.
However, stretch the tournament out. Have qualifiers, make it a 16-Man tournament, whatever. And all the while, have the announcers state that Triple H is working on trying to get CM Punk back. And have him make appearances on the indy circuit and so forth. Make it look legit that he's gone. And if they can't get Punk back, then the tournament crowns a new WWE Champion.
Then, at SummerSlam, they crown the new WWE Champion in the tournament finals. Have it be John Cena. Then, after he wins, then Cult of Personality hits, and out walks CM Punk with his WWE Championship.
They feud until the September Pay-Per-View, with Cena telling people he's the rightful WWE Champion, he won the tournament. But people keep reminding him, "But you didn't beat CM Punk." It eats away at him, until Trips comes up with the Winner Take All match for the WWE Championship.
Punk wins, leading Cena down the road to his feud with The Rock. Punk could still feud with Del Rio for the title as well. Just get rid of the stupidity with Nash, and the whole walkout crap, as that made no sense.
what I always point out was... people were bitching that Punk wasn't on Raw the next night so they rushed him back for that reason... also the idea was to strike while the iron was hot type deal...
of course their way of doing that was to make sure it cooled off on their own due to sheer potentially malicious incompetence....
