Not only does Ryback hardly have a "streak" beating almost exclusively jobbers
The vast majority of wrestlers that made up Bill Goldberg's streak were jobbers as well, yet some people think of Bill Goldberg as a friggin' god because of it.
If there does turn out to be some sort of feud between Punk & Ryback, it'll be a brief one I believe. If anything, they'll put Ryback into things while John Cena is out recovering from elbow surgery. At house shows this weekend, CM Punk is claiming responsibility for Cena needing to undergo the surgery in the first place. Even though Cena is saying that he'll be out for at least 6 weeks, that might just be part of a storyline as it was initially reported that he'd be cleared in time for the HIAC ppv. The WWE could be going the route of Cena claiming that he's not medically cleared but insisting that he challenge Punk for the title at HIAC with WWE not being "responsible" if Cena suffers further "injury". Why would WWE go this route? Because there's nothing but upside. We can all completely buy into Cena being so determined to take on Punk that he ignores medical advice. It's the sort of head strong, crazy brave thing people have come to expect from the ultimate babyface wrestlers. Cena takes on CM Punk at HIAC and CM Punk gets the win over a John Cena that's still "injured", thus giving Punk another major win while simultaneously protecting Cena by giving him a legit way out.
If Cena really is taking some time off, then this feud has something of a novel feel to it because it's come completely out of left field. It's one of those feud ideas that could turn out to be quite good or a horrible choice. If Ryback shows that he has good chemistry with Punk, then this could possibly lead to bigger things later down the line. Otherwise, it'll show that Ryback is someone that might need even more work than many of us already believed.
If Ryback does step in for Cena, I expect him to face Punk at HIAC. In which case, there'll be some sort of definitive winner otherwise it'll just be one major clusterfuck that'll piss people off. After all, I'm sure this match would take place at HIAC and HIAC always has a winner no matter what. I don't see that changing. I don't see Punk dropping the title to Ryback, he's just not ready for that in my opinion. That means Ryback's streak will end but that doesn't have to be a bad thing. Thus far, aside from The Miz, Ryback hasn't really faced anyone that would be thought of as a star, so his streak hasn't become so interconnected with his career as Goldberg's did. If WWE can successfully follow up on Ryback's first loss, then they potentially have a long term star in the making.
After all, there's only so far that Ryback can go with the streak angle and still be all that interesting. People are already wanting to see Ryback in long term feuds and competetive matches that go longer than 3 minutes. There's long term money in Ryback only if WWE can develop his character further after he suffers his first loss.
In short, Ryback should not beat CM Punk right now. He shouldn't be WWE Champion. He's not ready to be WWE Champion. But that doesn't mean that Ryback still can't come out of this situation, if there is indeed going to be a brief feud with Punk, smelling like roses.
