The World Champion is the cornerstone and focus of your company.

As the World Heavyweight Champion on RAW, CM Punk should be the top guy. That is it. Sure, he won the belt with the Money in the Bank title shot, but if he isn't meant to be good enough to keep the belt, then he should have lost it to JBL on his first night as Champion. An unworthy wrestler holding the belt makes it look crappy, the wrestler holding it forever tainted, and it does no good for anybody.

I agree with BDC, in that Edge should have gotten a contractual rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship. Hell, they could have done it at Saturday Night's Main Event. Edge has been "fired" by Vickie Guerrero, so he works with the RAW brand, and tries to win his belt back from Punk, but Punk retains cleanly. Then Vickie could have re-signed him, to which Edge was thankful, and then Vickie could have re-instated The Undertaker for that shit.

I didn't mind the interference from CTC in the match against JBL. It was needed to cancel out the security. A few minutes without the security with Punk and JBL going back and forth would have been appreciated. Then the GTS gets it done, and Punk retains. Even though Snitsky is not World Heavyweight Championship challenger material, CM Punk should have put the title on the line against him anyway, to make Punk look like a fighting champion. The countout against Kane was clever, and it kept Kane looking good, and Punk out-smarted the beast. Again, this could have been a WHC match.

The Great American Bash could have at least seen Punk roll-up Batista after Bats underestimates Punk. The result against William Regal was right, and it shows growth, because Regal went over Punk in the King of the Ring Tournament. Punk should have probably gotten in more offense, though, if reports on the match are correct.

A thought to end on:

A World Champion should never be an underdog. The World Champion, by definition, is the best in the world, and therefore should be expected to win all their matches. It is just how they win. Punk does not look smarter, stronger, faster or better drawing with Batista because Kane interferes. Punk needs to be put over as having some quality that allows him to be World Heavyweight Champion, and it needs to be emphasised.
