I'm a little confused why they didn't have Vince book Punk in a 6 man HIAC after they had their match on RAW if they wanted him to retain. Could have played out similar to Angle's win 12 years ago. He could have pinned anyone but Ryback, which would have kept the belt on Punk and keep the undefeated streak intact. Punk vs. Ryback would also have a freshness to it somewhere down the line (maybe Mania if he stayed hot?). But now that it's been done in HIAC one on one, it's hard to go and sell a regular singles match between the two.
Sure it would have been a total cluster, but it would have been a fun match without booking yourself into a corner and could have saved the card on paper. Not sure who I would have included, maybe Punk/Ryback/Ziggler/Cena/Miz/Kofi
Meh though, I enjoyed the match for what it was. Ryback sold Punk's offense pretty well, and given the time, they delivered. The finish was lame, but I get it. Good, but definitely forgettable.
