[What Would Kevin Do?]

There is a real chance here to re-invent Cena & Punk and make things infinitely more interesting in the RAW main event for the foreseeable future.

I was thinking, maybe have Punk win cleanly, and Cena hand him the title at the end. Before anything else happens, Vince comes out and demands the MitB winner come out and cash it in now to get the title away from Punk. Have it b Del Rio. Cena is pissed that Vince is trying to "screw over" Punk who just won, so Cena ends up costing Del Rio the match.

If they could squeeze the time in enough, I think it'd be interesting if they do the typical "cash-in" only for Punk to win and then have McMahon come out and demand the other MiTB winner come out and have Cena fuck it all up like you said. The only problem is a lot of people might think its BS for both MiTB to be used like that in one night, but it'd be different and probably make everybody want to see just what the fuck happens next. This PPV could deliver the shock value of when Vince said, "Screw you Austin, YOU'RE FIRED!" but hopefully we don't get CEO Cena. There is just so much potential and so many ways this can go that it is compelling. If CM Punk walks out WWE Champion and Vince fired John Cena for helping Punk walk out the WWE Champion, the wrestling world will be absolutely clueless as to what happens next.
