A triple threat would have worked nicely, even with Punk doing the job and either Cena OR Rock going over. That would have kept his "you never beat me, I am better than you" asshole attitude in line as well as set up potential future matches with either.

I think it would have been better to have Cena vs Punk by itself. That feud was this era's flair vs steamboat or austin vs rock in my opinion. Some might say it's cena vs orton, but I feel cena and punk had much better chemistry both in the ring and when trading words.

You could still have rock on the show facing the undertaker. Their history and iconic status would have made for a much better build than crappy exploitation of paul bearers death that we got.
