CM Punk would have been coming back as white hot babyface in Chicago, riding the momentum throughout the next few months. As one of the most versatile workers on the roster he could then have turned heel at the end of Summer, extending his main event run even further. It's what we witnessed in 2012 and it worked brilliantly, Punk is after all at his most entertaining as the bad guy. His matches suit a mean streak and his promos are more must see probably because he is a bit of a d*** in real life as many of his friends have joked. In contrast, the man in competition for his spot, Daniel Bryan, is a babyface through and through. He has the Austin problem of being typecast now in his role. The big issue for Bryan will be maintaining fan interest once he loses the underdog character and becomes Champion. We have seen it time and time again in WWE, we love a riser just so we can rip them down see Shawn Michaels, Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio. CM Punk is different. The versatile worker can do it all and he can do it better than anyone else in the company. Coming back with such HOT interest he could have been about to dominate the rest of the year as "The Best In The World!" But this is WWE. We the fans don't always get what he want, and last night in Chicago, we were certainly let down. Whether blame rests with WWE or Punk is open to debate, but what is certain is this, fans are sad right now. WE WANT PUNK!
