He lost to Cena, cleanly... who then got beat down by Sheamus. Then Kane and Batista have a grasp on the #1 contender spot for Smackdown.
The whole ordeal just makes Punk look like he's wandering through a sea of shit. That is unless they really want to start a program with him and R-Truth (fuck).

Punk was allowed to counter out of a couple different FU attempts before Cena finally resorted to the second-rope FU. He was even allowed to grab the ropes on the STFU. He was allowed to taunt Cena and dominate him at points during the match. It was far from a burial.
As for him not being in the World title picture right now, it should probably be expected. He's coming off two high-profile feuds for the title with Jeff Hardy and the Undertaker. Between the Edge injury and Batista's turn on Rey, he was being booked as the top heel on SmackDown, and probably the second biggest heel in the company behind Randy Orton.
I don't have a problem with the company using Punk in an attempt to get someone else over. I do have problems with who they've chosen for the rub, but it's not like Punk's never going to sniff a World title again. He'll be one of the last few eliminated in the Royal Rumble and the Elimination Chamber, if not holding a title by the time WrestleMania rolls around (I'd rather see an Edge/Jericho feud for the title by then, but that's a different thread).
