Let's hope so. Because they can also be lazy/dumb enough to make it about "your friend (Punk) ruined everything, you can't win the tag titles because you are poisoned/associated with him" type of nonsense
The dirt sheets, YouTubers, and twitter have these guys completely fukking twisted into thinking that they are appealing to the masses, while in reality, 90% of the "audience" are gonna mark out for Punk, and once they realize that Punk is not gonna be on the show, they are gonna be pissed. This might drive a tiny bit of interest for the show/ratings, but it will do more harm than good. Punk gave them some push in the interview, especially considering it's all eyes on Punk during WrestleMania weekend, but they are definitely wrong in assuming that anything that they can show will sway anybody that isn't already a DoubleO. The money mark and the YB's are overplaying their hand.
