I think this time around that Punk should announce it ahead of time.
This is how I would plan it out. Orton/HHH program is over and Orton is World Champion throughout the Spring and Summer. Then, Orton/Batista are having a program over the title, and Orton defeats Batista at Great American Bash to retain.
Next night on RAW, Orton cuts a promo, etc etc. Out comes Batista and kicks his ass (ala Edge from last summer). Orton is laid out in the middle of the ring, and Batista leaves.
Punk's music cues and does the exact same thing he did last year, but as he is about to hand the briefcase over, he pulls it back and changes his mind. Instead, Punk grabs a mic and cuts a promo on a nearly unconscious Orton.
Punk is reminding him of what Orton did do him last Fall about ending his title reign and his dreams, etc. And that if he wanted to, he could take back his Championship right now, but he won't. He goes onto say that he is out to prove that he doesn't need an assist or a sneak attack to win a World Championship, and ends the promo with announcing that he will cash in his Money in the Bank at Summerslam against Orton.
I think this would add a lot to Punk's character, and if this match is given 5-7 week build based on their storied past, it would make for a great main event, and CM Punk would be considered a main event player if he won or lost his match at Summerslam.
