CM Punk in Money in the Bank

Do people think this is a good idea? Personally, I think having Punk in the match gives it a boost. It adds more drama having a former World Champion and winner of the match in there. But it does raise one problem with me:

Seeing as Punk has already won the match, if he doesn't win it this year, he's technically gone backwards.

Of course, his tenure with the company is increasing, his resume is always expanding, and that statement I just made is only merely from the standpoint of someone comparing his past two WrestleMania performances, but is it an issue worth thinking about? Will many people think about this? Do you think it places more pressure on Punk repeating?

I get we don't yet know the other competitors in the match, but with John Morrison tied up in tag team stuff, and MVP possibly doing something with the US Title, is CM Punk a good choice to win MITB this year? What does he then do with the title shot? I mean, the surprise win has already been done with Punk, so do the WWE need to step it up with him?

Could Punk announce a match beforehand like Rob Van Dam, and then win the title cleanly to look better? Could Punk shock the world with a heel turn when he cashes in? Or, could he do what many people have suggested someone do, and cash in the title shot right there at WrestleMania XXV, and walk out of the PPV a World Champion?

I don't know, just some discussion about where CM Punk is heading over the next few months.
