Funny thing is, they weren't. Remember, the sentiment is that he wouldn't work as a viable champion? Also, Cena and Orton were experiments that people in power believed couldn't carry the company. And apparently, CM Punk likely doesn't know how to be a heel.

On topic: they actually could do an underdog angle like Foley's. Hell, had they not dropped the ball on him so badly, it could have been Zack Ryder. I know I've said (very recently, in fact... like, yesterday) that he shouldn't be champion, just pushed as a top-tier guy, but with the right booking (which seems to be a common problem in elevating people) he could have been the guy for awhile. Even if he were "transitional", he still could have provided that moment. Instead, he was barely on TV, and when he was, he a) squashed a jobber b) was squashed by an uppercardsman c) won a "tag-team match, playa!" that had more to do with his partner and one of their opponents being in some sort of angle against eachother.
