The biggest blown opportunity WWE has had in recent years, maybe ever is the way they failed to capitalize on the CM Punk shoot angle in 2011. They had it done perfectly and it was all ruined when they brought him back to RAW 8 days after winning the title at MITB.
They should have left him off of TV for a few months with Vince coming out and begging him to come back with the belt and do business with WWE with Punk not showing up, maybe doing the occasional "via satellite" feed maybe with Vince standing in the ring and Punk appearing on the titantron from Vince's office with Punk sitting in Vince's chair with his feet on the desk with the title in full view basically Punk dangling the carrot. Then bring Punk back at Survivor Series.
Point is, Punk should still be champion right now and surpassing a historic 2 year title reign as a monster heel and with Paul Heyman as his manager.
Punk could have been the second coming of Stone Cold Steve Austin. He is that talented. They just dropped the ball huge with him. They still are really.
