His merchandise continues to be sold at live events and on the WWE website, and as of this writing Punk is still being paid royalties for merchandise sold. He's being paid a considerable sum for the merchandise he moves, and he's currently the #2 seller in the company, right behind John Cena.

The Fandango/Summer Rae split was actually done because she is out filming “The Marine 4,” with Miz and they needed a reason to explain her not being there. She’ll come back as a singles heel coming off her Total Divas role. Miz, who stars in the movie, will also be out while filming. Tons of people noticed her being gone after just missing Raw. Nobody will notice he’s gone. Both are scheduled back on 5/16.

Originally Posted by Observer As noted earlier today, a tournament to crown a new #1 contender to Big E's Intercontinental Title was not the original plan. The original idea for Monday's RAW was to do a four-way match with Big Show vs. Jack Swagger vs. Cesaro vs. possibly Christian, where the winner would face Big E at Extreme Rules. Vince McMahon felt that the four-way did nothing to elevate a strong contender for the Intercontinental Title and felt that a tournament would create a stronger contender. Christian not being cleared due to the concussion was going to change the match, but was said to be a non-factor in the decision from changing it from a four-way to a tournament.

Originally Posted by Observer Regarding Cesaro and Paul Heyman not coming out to theme music, that's the plan for now but only short-term. WWE is working on new music for Cesaro but the feeling is that not having music is a talking point for him.

Originally Posted by Observer It's interesting that WWE is handing out the "Cesaro section" signs to fans in the crowd even though Cesaro's supposed to be a heel. The plan is to create the idea that the fans want Cesaro turned while he stays with Paul Heyman and doesn't actually turn, all while giving the impression that there is a groundswell on turning him babyface. Basically they are trying to create a Daniel Bryan situation on their own this time. There's been speculation that this will lead to a Cesaro vs. Brock Lesnar match.
