He cant work regularly so you cant safely set up anything beyond 1 match. So nothing long term. Every match he does needs to bookend itself. Because of this putting him over only devalues the guy he's working since Punk cant trade that momentum to someone else on the card. So you put him under. How many times can you do that before any value he might have had is well and truly gone? 5 times in a row max. If the Undertaker we're to job every match for 2.5 years at the end of the run the crowd would tune out. Its a long time to be a loser.

So: Put him over and you hurt a guy for nothing. He goes under and at some point people sleep through his matches. The guy isnt exactly Andre the Giant. His novelty has a much shorter leash.
1 match at a time might be a bit dramatic. I get where you’re coming from though in that it is way safer to plan for 1 match, which is an obstacle but not one that you absolutely can’t get past. That’s what I meant with the teaming with guys. In the case he does go over someone, that decision can be the trigger point for the losing wrestler to change direction. If Punk gets hurt, you just wait until next time. But if he’s not hurt, you can go into the next program right away.

It’s not ideal, I’ll give you that. I’m not sure if even Punk will go for it (love him or hate him, he seems like someone who does want his programs to be full). I just don’t think it’s an impossibility. It’s good cause to move past him if you were looking for a reason though lol.
