WWE working with ROH?

[FearedSanctity]

I think waiting for the payoff until Mania may be asking too much. Just too long. People got pissy because Punk wasn't at Raw Monday, how awful would it be after almost 8 months without him?

But along the lines of what you said you could just have Punk simply carrying the title with him at various other promotion's shows without actually defending it. Have HHH be annoyed with it but able to deal. But have it be when Punk schedules and defends the title at a relatively "big" indy show, say ROH's Glory By Honor X, that he just crosses the line. Have a furious HHH rip Punk on the following Raw about how disrespectful he is etc. etc. and challenge him. Payoff could be the next PPV (Hell in a Cell) or if they can stretch the story do it at the next big one (Survivor Series)

I guess something else would need to be going on during that time period. Punk can come back and start taunting on TV, using the title as bait to get re-signed to the contract he wants. Eventually he gets it, has a unification match with, say, The Miz who holds the new WWE championship. Wins it, and continues to cut his risque "I'll say whatever I want cause you can't fire me" promos, bashing HHH every chance he gets, making a new-age Austin vs McMahon with HHH and Punk with Punk surviving every challenger HHH throws at him until he finally decides he'll get the belt off Punk himself at WrestleMania.
