CM Punk is champion but is it just a transitional champion or for real. Honestly I think that he will lose it at GAB and Batista faces Cena at Summerslam because CM Punk as champion doesn't fit in with all the great developed talents Raw has. He can go for the IC Title or tag titles but I don't think this is the right time for a world title reign. What are your thoughts?

I saw somewhere they wanted to see where it went with Punk, I think he can be a good champion, but its only a matter of time before Cena win is though

I don't think he is ready. I was suprised when he won money in the bank and he is not yet main event material. hopefully he develops more because I think he will beat Batista and then maybe lose to Cena at summerslam and introduce a spinner world title. YUCK!

i saw that too

I think he is going to beat Batista at the Bash. Then he will probably beat Cena at Summerslam. I don't know why, i just feel that way. Then at Unforgiven i expect Cena to beat punk in a triple Threat match with Batista.

CM Punk can and is getting better. He will beat Batista and defend at least a few more times. WWE does NOT like short title reigns!

Yeah WWE has no problem with short reigns, look at HHH losing to Orton didn''t even have it for a night.

The thing is the MITB winner tends to hold it for a little while longer, the exception was Edge last year who had to relinquish it due to a legit injury.. I think Punk will retain at least through the Bash and SummerSlam, beating Batista or Cena or both would raise his credibility.. and if they didn't want to do that, why give him the title at all?

The thing is I think giving him the title was a mistake. Batista or Cena should of won at Night of Champions but they completely screwed that up. And even if he does beat Batista which I think is unlikely he won't make it past Cena because if he loses then that would be like the 4th title match in a row and really diminish his character.

I think Punk will hold it up until about No Mercy or possibly Survivor Series.. Hell, who knows? He could keep it up until the Rumble..

nahhhhh not that long mate
i think he'l hold it until no mercy and then he'l losse it back to batista i think.

i would like to see, maybe Kane win, that might shake things up a bit

I want Jericho to win the championship even though he is not in contention currently. Maybe he can get a shot at Unforgiven but as long as he gets is shot soon I'm fine.
