I'm not too familiar with RoH, but I'm always down to see some new faces and upcoming guys bust through that have been paying their dues and hopefully get some more CM Punk type guys hop into the mainstream. I'm not too into the NXT "Hey, I'm a rookie and you have to like me" BS that they are marketing.

I think it would be amazing for both companies if this were to happen. CM Punk goes to ROH and cuts a promo with the WWE title. He says he's going to do exactly what he said, and next week he'll defend the WWE Championship in a ROH ring. Obviously the wrestling news sites will go insane over this, but WWE.com doesn't report a thing.

On RAW, Triple H's assistant gives him a copy of the ROH show and the WWE audience watches it as HHH watches it in his office. Hunter has no idea what to do. Punk goes ahead with the match and barely retains. This forces Triple H to go into the ring on RAW and ask CM Punk to return to the WWE to defend the championship at Summerslam. Punk refuses to make any appearances on a WWE show, but responds via Youtube. Punk says he is the best wrestler in the world, and there is no one: not John Cena, not Randy Orton, not Mysterio or Del Rio, who is worthy of challenging for his WWE Title. Triple H says that Punk has never faced the Game before, and says Punk will never be the best in the world until he's defeated Triple H. Punk responds that Triple H is overrated and is only a multiple-time World Champion because of his position in the company. Punk says Triple H wishes he were an in-ring genius like his buddy HBK, but he never has been, and he never will be. Punk says he'll only take the match if Triple H puts up his in-ring career against Punk's WWE Title.

Hopefully this would lead to Punk beating Triple H at Summerslam in some kind of shaky finish, maybe involving ROH guys. Triple H would go back to playing the man in charge, obsessed with getting the WWE Championship off of the still non-WWE employed CM Punk.

I am down with it for this reason:

When WWE did the first ECW invasion angle, the presentation ECW offered led to the Attitude era. If WWE did something similar with ROH, it could lead to WWE moving to attract a different demographic. You can't say that WWE didn't notice that the most "Traditional" matches they had recently (Cena/Punk, 'Taker/Trips) got the best reactions. WWE could very easily hit another boom period by following the lead of a Philadelphia-based Indy fed like they did 15 years prior.

Hopefully having ROH working with WWE would lead to better wrestling matches. It certainly would give them an interesting storyline if handled properly. And if it results in another boom period showcased by traditional wrestling, I'm all for it...

Nope, at the moment that title still belongs to Chris Jericho.

It's certainly an interesting piece of news. The one thing that the WWE could get out of ROH is talent. A working agreement there to get guys they want to sign like Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli more exposure coming into the WWE is about the only benefit they would get.

I could see the WWE allowing CM Punk to "defend" the WWE Title in ROH, just because it keeps up the storyline of Punk being gone, and as long as Punk goes over, it doesn't alter their plans. It's just a bit of good-will towards another wrestling company that can help the WWE out by helping guys get ring experience and fan followings.

I seriously think that there isn't another wrestler (besides Jericho, but he was never imo a "indy guy") that could pull this off as perfectly.

Although having Jericho come back and defend WWE from a ROH invasion would be a good way for him to return...

Thinking about ROH now, it would be pretty sweet to see Hass and Benjamin fight for ROH against WWE.

It's a win for both sides... WWE gives back to the Wrestling world by highlighting the next generation of talent, ROH gets the biggest exposure to their product imaginable, WWE has a territory to pluck from, and it won't hurt ROH because they are able to find the best indie guys and push them and in a year or two they can draw for their company.

Well said. This storyline would only benefit both sides. WWE gets another interesting storyline and ROH gets massive exposure and even more fans. Not to mention the potential for better wrestling matches.

Now, I'm not one to cry "they'll fuck it up", like that ROH thread that was discussed earlier, but I could really see this. Sinclare may have gotten in touch with WWE, or vice-versa. There could, realistically, be a plan in place that, if ROH doesn't do well enough on TV, that they'll just turn the company over (read: sell) to WWE in a year's time or something.

IF this is the case, and it's just a crackpot conspiracy theory, it makes sense on WWE's part to play nice.

Remember that ROH is now apart of a broadcast company. They're essentially a show being produced specifically for their TV. If TV doesn't do well, it may not benefit Sinclare to keep it going. Consider that if ROH was sold in the first place, you have to assume they were losing money.
