Dash Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Reports of Punk's mega push continue. - Troy sent word that CM Punk is featured in the new issue of Maxim Magazine, talking about his promos from this summer and comparing him to The Rock and Steve Austin. The article notes that Punk will be headlining WWE's Survivor Series pay-per-view. http://www.ringsidenews.com/news/cm-punk-featured-new-sheamus-video-interview-shane-mcmahon-s-company/ The Pro Wrestling Torch reports that CM Punk is in "top consideration" for the WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania XXVIII since company officials are leaning against the title being on the line in the match pitting John Cena against The Rock. The heavily hyped bout is not expected to be for the title because WWE brass feel the finish would be too obvious since fans don't expect The Rock to leave WrestleMania as champion. Cena will reportedly be removed from the title picture following Sunday's Vengeance pay-per-view, which would indicate that Alberto Del Rio will retain the title in their Last Standing Match. Cena will begin building towards his partnership with The Rock at Survivor Series while Del Rio is expected to enter a program with Punk. http://www.ringsidenews.com/news/cm-punk-under-consideration-for-wwe-championship-match-at-wrestlemania/ So about 5 months with CM Punk in the title picture? I can live with that. Edited October 23, 2011 by Dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Punk update: - With Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk and Mark Henry vs. The Big Show in the works for Survivor Series – WWE is already looking to have rematches for both at the upcoming Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view. While things can change, CM Punk is currently scheduled to win the WWE Championship some time this fall – prior to the December 26th RAW supershow from his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.
