#2 – Why CM Punk would be a huge loss to the WWE.

As we know, CM Punk has been at the epicentre in one of the WWE’s biggest storylines in years. Punk’s quest to leave the company with the title will culminate this Sunday at the Money in The Bank pay-per-view, and for a full review check the previous post. The fact of the matter is, kayfabe or not, not many people are sure if CM Punk has actually signed a new deal with the WWE, outside of the on-screen storyline.

My gut instinct is that he has indeed signed a new deal, as if he was leaving, I couldn’t see Vince letting him main-event a pay-per-view when he’s off to sign for another company. Having said that, all the doubt and hype surrounding CM Punk at the moment has brought Wrestling back to the mainstream audience, and I see a new star emerging, whom goes by the name of Phil Brooks, or as more commonly know, CM Punk.

If CM Punk hasn’t in fact agreed a deal, and all the contract discussions are untrue and there is no progression to the story, then Punk will leave a gaping hole in the WWE, and follow the recent trend of huge ‘players’ to leave the company in the last 2 years. People like Batista, MVP, Chris Jericho and it seems Punk could be joining them. WWE really need to treat their talent better and start pushing other stars than Cena or Orton as I see no reason why other superstars won’t leave. Of course Punk could have already signed a new contract, but the fact it’s been left this late is a sign that WWE need to wake up.

Onto the man himself CM Punk, a man whom I describe as the most talented wrestler on the roster, and probably in the world. He’s above average in the ring, great diverse move set, amazing music, decent, recognisable attire, and most importantly, he’s great on the stick. He is simply put, one of the greatest mic workers ever. Period. Added to that, his character is just so simple, yet you can see Brooks has manipulated it perfectly, and it seems he is just being himself, with the volume turned up. Fact is, CM Punk should have main-evented Wrestlemania 27, instead of the Miz, and WWE are just starting to realise the vast talent Punk has, and I hope, for the sake of the business, that its not too late and that CM Punk has resigned. If he is to leave, I hope its only a temporary break, but if it’s a move to another promotion, like RoH for example, I will definitely be tuning into their programming.

Of course, this is all speculation. CM Punk , the new anti-hero, is currently the most ‘over’ person on the roster, and this is because WWE have finally pulled their finger out. I know i’ll be tuning in Sunday to find out the aftermath of the CM Punk storyline, as it could be the start of something special, and if he is to leave, without the gold, I believe WWE will have lost a potential mega-star.
