Even so, look at Austin, he injured his neck, was out for 8 months (I think), and he came back white hot with the who ran over Austin angle. Sure with long term booking you will have to change plans around a bit once in a while, but if its handled properly it can even add to the excitement of wherever the angle was going. WWE's problem is that if someone gets injured or wellness policied, the angle gets phased out quickly (Kennedy angle), or simply forgotten about(Crime Tyme's title shot).
Long term booking has its risks but short term booking is often far too predictable (unless it goes the other way then it ends up like Russo's work, unpredictable, but for all the wrong reasons).
Punk is so over right now, give it somewhere to go, and whatever happens, dont have HHH go over Punk (Ok HHH has to win some, thats how a fued works but overall Punk must be the winner)
