CMPunk.vs.Y2J.2012
So wussup? How do you think this story line is going to manifest? Bleacher Report is confused because they have two threads-one saying CM Punk has to retain at EC and one saying Y2J has to win it at EC. lol..
Quote:
There is a huge feud brewing in WWE right now, but the only way to keep it hot and fresh will be to have Chris Jericho leave the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view as WWE champion.
CM Punk has done an admirable job with the title for the last three months, but it is time for Jericho to claim what belongs to him. That is what he said on Raw last night, and it is hard to disagree with him.
We know that Jericho is going enter the Elimination Chamber match sixth thanks to his victory in the Six-Pack Challenge.
The best way to build off that particular stipulation would be to have Punk start the match, that way when Jericho enters, the babyface champion is already worn down from fighting for 20-25 minutes.
Then Jericho comes in and pounces on the weakened champion. The other participants in the match—Dolph Ziggler, The Miz, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston—are simply fillers to get us into the meat and potatoes of the story.
By having Punk and Jericho be the last two participants in the match, with Jericho prevailing, you set them up perfectly for a one-on-one match at WrestleMania.
Jericho will get more heat for taking advantage of a weakened Punk. He can cut promos for the next six weeks on television about how he truly is the Best in the World at What He Does since he beat the supposed Best in the World.
Punk will get even more sympathy as a babyface for making it all the way to the end of the Chamber match before finally succumbing to the dastardly Jericho. He can match Jericho on the mic, so the heat between these two will be off the charts.
If Punk just pins Jericho in this match, after Jericho had every advantage going into it, there will be no reason to see it at WrestleMania.
Normally, this is something that WWE botches horribly. Look at what happened with Jericho at the Royal Rumble for evidence of that.
But the last two Raw shows have done a good job of building the top matches for WrestleMania using logic that optimism is high right now.
Jericho needs to win this match—all the signs point to him winning this match—so let's hope that WWE does the right thing and puts him over CM Punk to win the championship in the Elimination Chamber.

While many people think that Chris Jericho should walk away from Elimination Chamber champion, there is no way CM Punk can lose the WWE Title right now.
WrestleMania is a different story, though.
As much as this will anger the fans of the WWE, the Elimination Chamber for Raw is nothing more than a holdover until the big storyline twist at WrestleMania.
I understand that fans want to see Punk chasing the title, but we could be on the brink of one of the greatest swerves in WWE history. Follow with me on this voyage of madness.
With Punk retaining the belt over Jericho, the WWE would be able to set up an angle where Jericho seems like a snake heel. If he looks like weasel in how he interacts with Punk and the ways he attacks him, it will make the eventual swerve amazing. The next month will be soaked in a verbal conflict between Punk and Jericho that leads to a Punk loss on the biggest stage of them all.
So why would I have Punk lose at WrestleMania instead of Elimination Chamber?
Ted DiBiase Jr., duh!
My idea is that Chris Jericho has to pull an Andre the Giant and win the WWE Title from CM Punk in an epic match, then promptly sell it to the new Million Dollar Man. I know it sounds far-fetched, but follow closely.
Jericho would win the belt and then promptly sell it, which would make him one of the ultimate heels in WWE history. It would also turn DiBiase heel, where he could be something. The idea of DiBiase working with Jericho is the perfect rub for a young guy that could become a star in the limelight of Y2J and Punk.
Punk may lose at WrestleMania, but this is where John Laurinaitis would come in as well. Johnny Ace would come out after Jericho sells the belt to Lil’ Million Dollar Man and give it back to Punk. That causes the hard feelings that moves this feud past WrestleMania.
It’s a win-win situation with Punk walking away with the title, Jericho winning and DiBiase getting an enormous push and rub. It would be an epic ending.
