Maybe they finally debut the new belt next week? I still don't think Cena winning is a 100% definite. Honestly, either result would be shocking to me because I'd somehow convince myself in the middle of the match X will win and then Y ends up winning. I'd imagine RAW1000 will have one of the biggest audiences (Vince is hoping so anyway) in a long long time, and what better way to establish the face of the new generation and the preferred superstar of the "lost demographic" as not just the guy who has had a hell of a year, not just the guy who is having a great run on top, but establish CM Punk as THE MAN in WWE. Everybody and their momma is going to convince themselves that "CENA WINS!!!1" and so having CM Punk win by hook or crook would be awesome because everybody will go nuts and the kids will cry and move on by SmackDown!
If the rumors of Punk turning heel down the road are true, I'd love to see The Rock screw Cena and Punk start acting semi-heelish and finally snapping and going off on all the "sheep" who supported him just over a year ago and already they have forgotten what he tried to teach all of them and they have forgotten to thank him for the best year in wrestling in over a decade. I still think top babyface Punk has a lot of mileage left in it, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to leave some tread on the tires for down the road. Besides, when is the last time a World Champion turned heel in the middle of a title reign? I can't remember and it isn't done all that much anyway, so it'd be unique and give Punk even more room to be creative in the ring and on the mic. No matter what he does, Punk will make it work and make it awesome.
