Wow, Smackdown really got screwed

[Jeritron]

Why is that?
You suggest CM Punk doing it. When would that cash in occur? There's no reason why a GM can't order a match with Cena defending due to the belt situation on Raw after Backlash.

Logically, Edge will just do it. But there's no reason why it couldn't be someone else. You'll book Burchill to the world title, but you can't stretch your imagination enough to picture them hotshotting the title back over to Smackdown on someone other than Edge? C'mon.
Jericho could win the MITB briefcase at tonights Smackdown tapings for all we know.

They could do it, but it wouldn't have build to it. Punk could cash in after the Last Man Standing Match or after the Six-Man Tag. If Randy Orton wins the WWE Title, CM Punk has extra incentive to go after him, as Orton cost him the World Heavyweight Title last year.

Jericho could win the MITB briefcase on RAW, but how does that build up CM Punk? It just makes him look like a joke who can't hold onto his briefcase. The only way I can see Jericho getting it done, is if he slowly builds a feud with Orton, Triple H or Cena after Backlash, to an eventual pay-off on either PPV or Superstars.
