I've been kind of expecting Rollins/Punk to end with Punk as a heel and revealing that his happy to be here nice guy thing was an act and Seth was right all along that he's fake and a hypocrite. Whether that's Punk winning by cheating somehow or Seth winning then Punk snapping after the match and taking the title at the next PPV.
If Seth is out that dynamic, if it was the plan, would be out the window for now though. Punk can't really go heel on another heel like Drew or Priest. You'd probably just have him win as a face at Mania and turn him later in the year.
If Seth doesn't vacate the title on Monday then I think that'll be a sign that they're pretty confident he'll be able to do the match though. It may be another month or so before they know for sure though depending on how his rehab goes.

Priest cashes in on Vacant, then you set the 'mania match up with Priest turning face via his friendships with R-Truth, Bad Bunny and remembering how to jump into a jacuzzi filled with women fully clothed, and with Punk proving Seth right.

What if they said he had testicular torsion? Multiple studies show that viewers love seeing people overcome ball afflictions.

Miz has only just turned face and has spent the last 3 years doing nothing but lose. Dude hasn't been presented anywhere near the same level Punk has been so far.

Whether that's Punk winning by cheating somehow or Seth winning then Punk snapping after the match and taking the title at the next PPV. I wonder how many people think this because I also think Punk's just waiting for that heel turn. The moment he gets the belt he's going to take the mask off and be like yep "yall I rizzed my way into a WM main event, got the belt and now I run this shit yall listen to me."

I said this probably when he came back at Survivor Series... He's spent so long colouring outside the lines with his on-screen wrestling character in both WWE and AEW that he literally CAN'T be a normal babyface character or normal heel character anymore. If he's a normal babyface, he's disingenuous. If he's a normal "Local sports team" heel, he's holding back.

Having potentially both World Champions sitting out is gonna made that road to Mania much less interesting.

There has to be some middle ground between Reigns not being on the show for weeks at a time and having one match every other month as one champion and Rollins breaking his body having to do 20-minute matches on TV and the weekend house shows to make up the difference as the other champion.

I don’t necessarily have an issue with how they book Roman as very much a special attraction but you are right, the problem they have is when they do that they feel like they need to use Rollins much more than they should.

He can't do it anymore and in a way it's a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because hey, he'll always stand out even if he doesn't want to go all out with his character but it's a curse because if he doesn't then we get people making posts about him not being interesting enough as we've seen here.

I mean people were expecting that in AEW too and that wasn't the case... he was just actually an asshole >_> That said, if they actually want to do it in the WWE they could still do it with like Drew who has said some stuff about Punk too, both recently and the past. Yeah he's a heel at the moment but it's an easy double turn with Drew being right about Punk.

Is Drew a heel? He's kind of a whiny asshole but he also is continuing to feud with Judgment Day.

Is Drew a heel? He's kind of a whiny asshole but he also is continuing to feud with Judgment Day. I mean he's been posting promos against CM Punk for a while and just had a segment against Cody. Wearing his black leather jacket with an all black Scottish Flag on it.
