If they go with Ryback vs. Punk inside the Cell they could do a spot where Ryback throws/slams Punk through the Cell wall. This would make Ryback look strong, but would also create an opening for potential interference that could cost Ryback the match and his undefeated streak. Losing to the WWE Champion because of outside interference doesn't make Ryback look weak and you now have a feud for him to be involved with going into Survivor Series. I think if Ryback was a man on a mission, looking for revenge against a heel, the crowd would really get invested into that and want to see Ryback kick the heel's ass. At Survivor Series we could then see Punk vs. Cena in an Ironman Match for the WWE Title, concluding their feud. Punk would win and Cena would finally show him the respect he deserves, and Punk would then go on to defend his Title against the Rock at the Rumble.

As far as which heel could interfere in the Cell and cost Ryback the match, one person said earlier that it could be Wade Barrett, whose motivation would be that he deserved the Title shot over Ryback. That's one option that could work, or they could go with the Miz since I'm pretty sure he and Ryback have some unfinished business (I think they started a feud between them but never really followed up on it). Having the Miz screw over Ryback and then play the chickenshit heel role when Ryback comes after him would be a good angle. Miz could then keep taking the cheap way out of their matches and the fans would be chomping at the bit to see Ryback just destroy him and win. You could actually stretch that angle out for months and have it finally end at WrestleMania with Ryback beating Miz to win the Intercontinental Championship. One last option would be to have a team like the Prime Time Players or the Band screw Ryback over and cost him his streak/the Title to try and make a name for themselves. At Survivor Series you could have Ryback vs. All 3 members of the Band in an Elimination Match, it would be like Ryback was his own Survivor Series Team. Personally, I think Miz would be the better choice, but that's just another possibility I'll throw out there.

I've been thinking about the tripple threat idea from the first time Ryback stepped out against Punk. However I wouldn't have it be a match that is enforced on Punk only for him to squirm out a win.

Start Raw this week with Heyman and Punk backstage talking about the situation. Punk is laying out the arguement for both guys - either way he can see positives and negatives (Cena being injured, but how dangerous is a wounded caged animal; Ryback's inexperience vs his freakish strength). Punk just doesn't know what to do and is genuinely worried for his title....... heyman listens intently then looks at Punk 'I think I may have an idea!' he then forces the camera man out of the room and shuts the door.

Later in the show Vinnie Mac comes down to the ring and calls out Punk for his decision. Cena interupts....he doesn't want to miss this. He too calls out Punk. Ryback's music hits...he comes down to the ring too. Now all three wait for Punk.

Punk's music hits - he appears with Heyman at the top of the ramp - short monologue about how the decision was completely unfair blah blah - Vinnie Mac interupts - 'hurry up and pick your opponent or you'll hear the word 'You're fired!' - Punk looks down at the ring - 'Ryback - you think you're ready for the best in the world - lets find out' the crowd explode Ryback leads a feed me more chant. Punk - 'wait...stop..stop... feed you more? I Intend to....cos in the cell you'll be facing me and.....John Cena' Punk drops the mike and walks out Heyman grins at Vinnie Mac and follows. Cena and Ryback turn and face each other whilst Vinnie looks back and forth between them with the shocked expression that only Mr. Mcmahon can pull off. The show ends with an intense staredown between Cena and Ryback.

Yes the outcome of the Cell match will be predictable - Punk pins Cena after Ryback has had a good go at destroying them both - but it is the only way that I can see where no-one loses. Cena loses becaus of his injury, Ryback leaves the cell without being pinned or defeated one on one. Punk looks like a strong intelligent heel for manipulating the situation rather than cowardly and lucky like so many of the heels seem to be booked lately, and Heyman retains his genius persona.

I like j2dlyc's idea with the interjection of Barrett. Makes Barrett/Ryback a solid feud for a few months, and takes care of the whole thing all around. Gets Barrett back into the bigger picture without throwing him directly into a title program right off the bat.

The Lesnar interference idea is pretty solid as well.

[SacredMesa]

If they go with Ryback there is one way I can see them ending without killing Rybacks momentum.


Bring in Brock Lesner to take out Ryback and enable Punk to get the win. Really this could be something brilliant as it would get so much heat on Punk/Lesner/Heyman for ending the streak so soon and in such a way and could create a strong survivor series moment with Ryback/Cena/McMahon/Triple H against Punk/Lesner/Big Show/Heyman. You could also replace McMahon and Heyman with others like Ziggler and Sheamus. Just an idea but really it should just be better for Cena to do it if at all possible.

Bullshit!

Ryback has all the momentum he's going to get. He's over, the crowd is ready for him to cash in on some gold, and if that means the WWE title then so be it. It's going to suck considering it'll be the end of Punk's reign, but there's no denying the momentum Ryback has. If there's any time to pull the trigger on giving Ryback the title, it's now... if WWE doesn't then they can ruin themselves by having Ryback lose momentum and soon be just another nobody. Ryback's been building since at least April, and if that's not enough time to be considered a slow build up then what is?

And to face The Rock at the Royal Rumble we will have Ryback, an unproven guy that while he may be hot is green as hell and isn't really going to pull in anyone who isn't already watching the ppvs. CM Punk is simply a better performer than to stick in the ring against The Rock at the Royal Rumble, there is no way in hell that it should be Ryback.

How is he over?

He squashed a lot of guys(most of them local jobbers), squashed couple of wrestlers, challenged arguably no1 heel right now in the company and suddenly he is over? We didn't even see one proper match from him, yet alone that he dazzled us with some vocal capabilities of his. In order to be over he should get very high reaction from the crowd etc. be eather cheered or booed as crazy. He is cheered a little, but he is not over. Sheamus with all the exposure he gets with his WHC Championship and his winning streak and his Brogue kick is not over, yet alone Ryback. Cena, Punk, Orton, Bryan, Kane, HHH, Undertaker, Lesnar, Booker T even Vickie Guerrero are over. Others are trying but arguably are not that over...

He has the momentum and it would be bad to kill it, but he is not that over.

With the announcement that Ryback will now be Facing CM Punk inside Hell in the Cell the speculation as to how the match will end is underway. Will Punk beat Ryback cleanly I highly doubt it. Vince is set on making Ryback look unstoppable. I don't see Punk losing this match so interference is almost a guarantee. As others have already noted Lesnar is a good possiblity. I wouldn't be surprised if Lesnar gets involved and Ryback and lesnar go at it enabling to Punk esacpe the Cell keep his title but lose by DQ. I think even if Lesnar interfers you won't see Lesnar dominate Ryback. I think Ryback will dominate Punk in the cell and at some point Lesnar gets involved and finds out Ryback is everybit more than a match for him. Punks get Dq'd Ryback's streak still stands CM Punk is still champion. Lesnar and Ryback both look very Strong. Obviously by going toe to toe with Lesnar and maybe even over powering him or displaying his power will give Ryback another big time rub. Lesnar is still a monster coming out of it and everyone wins.I am sorry i just don't see this match being the end to Rybacks streak not yet.
