Ok I was a little fed up tonight. I'll give Cena props. He did a good promo but was that whole Summer of Punk thing the headline all this summer JUST because it involved Cena? I know people who will respond to this will use the top draw argument but this is getting a little bit silly.
They couldn't have had the match a little earlier and then have the Cena run in and THEN Nash tries to explain himself with Punk coming out to have that EPIC war of words? I mean that was freaking amazing. Imagien the cliffhanger for next week if RAW ended that way tonight with Punk having to leave and then the stare down on the titantron and in the ring?
But noooooo! Gotta get Cena! Can't trust Punk! Even though he's over as can be. I'm excited for this storyline. I want to see what they will come up with next week. Punk once again showed his overness tonight with all those chants and so many Punk t-shirts again in the crowd.
Maybe I'm just getting myself worked up but seriously why couldn't this have been the next to last segment? Are you seriously telling me Cena/Del Rio is more important than Punk JUST BECAUSE it has Cena in it? Was this the main focus of the WWE JUST because of Cena? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?
I feared it would be the more of the same stuff. With ALL that happened last night, with so many questions, you end the show with Cena/Del Rio.
Nice, WWE.
Listen, I'm not going to troll you, or attack you for not liking the way things went down, I respect your opinion. However, there is a logical answer to your question, of exactly why it couldn't go down the way you wanted it to.
Kevin Nash had more to do after the segment was over. One of the most important (yet very short) parts to what happened last night was Kevin Nash backstage after what happened with CM Punk talking with Jon Laurenitis (however that's spelled) and agreeing to talk to him in private. That couldn't happen unless it was done earlier in the show, so because of that it was done at the second best time slot in the show.
Very simple, there's no other way around it unless you push out what Kevin Nash was doing another week, and that's probably not a good idea considering the time restraints they're already working on with having a PPV every single month. It really wasn't about Cena or CM Punk, it was about Kevin Nash getting his time in, in a logical timeline.
I was thinking the same thing as you honestly. I kept thinking as the show went on, "ok where's Cena? Why haven't we seen him yet?" And then comes the main event, and still no Cena, so it was obvious he was going to show up after the match, and I didn't like that at all, until he came out and did his thing, and it made sense. So be it. It's not like Punk didn't get plenty of time anyways.
However, going forward it would be nice to see less of Cena closing the show and giving that time to someone else, like CM Punk, or Alberto Del Rio, or someone else. Not really sure who is going to step up and challenge for the WWE title but I think it's time it's someone other than Cena, at least for the time being.
