Then "Cult of Personality" saves us all from the literal crap the writers are giving us on a weekly basis.

Giving CM Punk an authority figure role would be amazing fan service, and could play out similarly to Daniel Bryan and, further back, Mick Foley.

This would have given so much more value and driving force to the WWE draft as well. Allowing Punk to have been the face of SmackDown drafting before the full launch on Fox? Those ratings would have looked a whole lot nicer.
