It would be terrible.....all signs point to Rock ending Punk's reign of delusional respect at the Royal Rumble. Even if Punk gets the title back from Ryback all that momentum is gone. If Ryback looks good at HIAC then you got another main eventer. If he's not ready then you push him back down a lil. Awarding Ryback with the main title just six months after his debut would be especially dumb.
@IAmJericho: Lots of folks comparing Goldberg and Ryback. But they’re two different acts from two different times and both work! #RybackvsTakerWM29
Now is not the time to kill Ryback's momentum. I'd put him over to establish him as a legit main eventer and let Punk win it back later with help from Heyman and/or Brock ... because the belt on Ryback, even if he holds it for a short time, does make him more established, and this company desperately needs believable main eventers.
I think he does go over.
He is right there, so close to being a big star, and if he beats Punk it will truly make him a star.
Now don't get me wrong, Punk will get his title back at then next show, but Vince loves Ryback and you can tell he is on the doorstep to making a monster face, you go with it.
Punk loses nothing by losing, he's been champ for damn near a year.
tossed a bit of green that way![]()
throwing the title on someone doesn't make them legit, look at Swagger.
Fakkits will be mad for a lil bit
Those that support #fukkery will continue to eat, regardless![]()
Ryback will be attacked backstage and Cena will be the replacement. I still don't see Ryback wrestling for the title this soon.
