[Centraal] Pro Wrestling Topic #90 Same Old Shit!

quote:

Things can get very interesting if nothing happens between now and February 12th between CM Punk and WWE, as Punk is scheduled to appear on the Comedy Central show "Midnight".

Given the amount of publicity of Punk walking out on the company, it would be hard to believe he could do that show and have that topic not come up. WWE also has a Raw event in Chicago on March 3rd. If Punk is not at the event, don't be surprised if the crowd goes crazy. WWE is aware of this date and they are still holding out hope that they can convince Punk to return to the company. It's up to Vince McMahon at this point.

In a sign that the company isn't admitting anything yet, Punk is ranked number 9 on their February 1st Power Rankings.

The CM Punk situation is personally being handled by Vince McMahon himself, as opposed to Triple H or WWE's Talent Relations department.

WWE officials are not happy at all about the story getting out and there being a big deal publicly. The hope was to keep it as an internal issue and deal with it within the company.

There were meeting with the WWE creative team all last week discussing WrestleMania XXX plans if Punk does not return, as well what to do with him if he does come back. The meetings were not as a result of Punk walking out specifically but also a by-product of fans rejecting segments and the reaction for Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble. A source noted that "anything is possible" at this point in regards to the WrestleMania XXX card and nothing should be considered official or locked in with the exception of John Cena vs. Bray Wyatt.

Dat geeft dus stiekem aan dat er in aanloop naar de Rumble er geen 'groter plan' met Bryan was, ze probeerde het dus een beetje te negeren (waar ik dus al bang voor was).
