Tonight WWE is walking into a dangerous situation. For months, the Allstate Arena in Chicago has been booked to host this episode of Raw. Before the January 27th, this episode of Raw was looked forward to in WWE as it was a guaranteed hot crowd which would help put over their angles going down the road to Wrestlemania 30. However after January 27th, everything changed. CM Punk walked out of WWE. The Chicago Made star of the company was gone. What hasn't changed is that the Chicago crowd will be hot. Now it'll likely be hot for different reasons. The growing chord of fan resentment has gotten louder and louder. The catastrophic rise of Batista, the perceived lack of top star billing for Daniel Bryan, the staleness of Randy Orton and John Cena have all been fodder for more and more fans to voice their discontent. The crowds you'd only see post-Wrestlemania and in cities such as New York, Toronto and Montreal have now become trend-setters. The fans now chant whatever they want during long matches, driven partially by discontent and also by the idea of getting themselves over to the viewers at home. Some have thought the CM Punk sabbatical is a ruse from day one and that he's returning on this Raw. Let's say that he isn't. Say that his walk-out is 100% legit and he isn't coming back and not on this Monday's Raw. It puts WWE in a bad spot. What should they do? How can they make it out of Chicago with as little damage to Wrestlemania as possible?
