Will ALL IN Change WWE More Than CM Punk’s Pipe Bomb?

By the time he was main eventing two consecutive pay-per-views against The Rock, his record-breaking WWE Championship reign had already been undermined by months of playing second fiddle to whatever happened to be that month's real main event. A common problem in eras with more than one World Title, Punk had the ignominy of going on underneath the likes of John Cena Vs. John Laurinaitis.

Cody booked himself a million years away from the wild west main event featuring his high flying Young Bucks buddies at ALL IN, but was able to do it for the good of the show as well as his own match. It again highlights the importance of being at the top of the movement you've created instead of merely acting as the front face of it.

Punk's 'Pipe Bomb' should have lit a fuse in WWE, but if anything it only expedited the overdue exit of Punk's storyline enemy 'Big Johnny' Laurinaitis. And him disappearing from view was orchestrated predominantly by Triple H - the man that kept a thumb on countless performers until he was retired enough to nurture a new generation.

The 'change' came from one of the men Punk despised the most, because nobody changes anything in WWE unless they either have - or marry somebody with - a particular surname.

But wrestling has more than one royal family...
