Now, in clearing the waters of the muddled WWE Universe, the WWE seems to have left themselves more questions than answers. Will CM Punk ever make the main event? To date, I cannot remember a champion who has not main-evented in his time, no matter how short, let alone one of the longest reigns in history. CM Punk deserves to be frustrated, in reality, at the lack of respect for him. Yes, he's the champ, but the real champ behind the scenes will continue to be John Cena. He's the prized pig, the cash cow, and the real 'draw'. Let's dish out some credit, the WWE has been blurring the lines between reality and story. CM Punk's heel turn was naturally coming. He is right: The WWE champion should close the show, he should be the main event, yet John Cena still gets that honour, and when somebody of the Rock's stature makes an appearance every few months, he get the honour. Punk deserves the credit, and more importantly, it was time for him to stand up and be noticed as the champion Who will face The Rock at Royal Rumble? This question, is not so easily answered. Some would say Cena. He lost the match of his life to the Rock, and now it's time for the Rock to put Cena over, to truly cement Cena's status as the face of his generation (whether you like it or not, the man has been headlining for almost 10 years). Some would say, CM Punk's reign as champion should not be interrupted by Cena. He should carry the belt into Royal Rumble, since he's beaten Cena so many times before. The only man capable of ending that long running streak is indeed, The Rock, so perhaps he wins the title in a monumental match, robbing the champ of the belt he's worn for over a year. Or - maybe it's time to make a new star. Maybe it's time for CM Punk to be solidified as a legitimate superstar of the industry. He beats Cena in Boston, clean, he beats the Rock at Royal Rumble, clean, and his status is forever cemented. My two cents: Nobody is going over the Rock at Royal Rumble. The Rock wins the belt, and either goes on a run that ends at Wrestlemania, or due to other commitments, he forfeits the title - leading to a Wrestlemania IV type of tournament. Nobody knows for sure, and in the current WWE - plans change quickly, which is part of the problem. I must point to the recent surge of respect for the intercontinental title. It's being put over in a huge way by the commentary team, mainly about the lustre of that title, and how it elevates those who win it.To me, this means one thing: the merging of both heavyweight titles and the elevation of the intercontinental title once again. Every time there is a surge of popularity in Wrestling (1980s, 1997-2004), there is a rebuilding period afterwards. The WWE needs to get back to it's roots and build from there - start fresh and see what developments come from that. John Cena won't be around forever, and there is no plan-B if he misses any time, partially because most of the time there seems to be no plan-A! I'm excited but nervous for what lies ahead. Older talent is finally being pushed away (HHH/Jericho/Undertaker), and it's now up to the younger guys to push themselves into that league. There is no doubt the talent is there (Dolph Ziggler a prime example), however character development is the most under rated part of the industry, just ask Cody Rhodes. One must develop a character that works, their own niche, like Punk and Cena. The Attitude era has the most examples of these: 'Stone Cold', 'The Rock', 'HHH', 'Jericho', 'Mankind' and many more. It's time for the new blood to take the ball, and run with it.
