I'm not so sure Punk should start out face. I know, I know, he's cut the ultra-clean "I love competition yadda yadda" promos so far but to be honest I just think it's a prelude to, after having squashed a couple of jobbers, (and maybe a guy like Credible) and having gotten the crowd behind him somewhat, he gets on the mic, goes over the gist of what he has said already, and then launches into the 'better than you' spiel, ripping the crowd to pieces (and let's be honest here, in his normal straightedge promo he pretty much describes 50% + of the WWE audience)
Punk is not some badass legit shoot fighter and never will be, he has the cocky heel schtick down to a tee, pretty much, and after that has run it's course he can go face, similar to his RoH run.
