Should Ryback go over Punk at Hell In A Cell?






It's the question tons of wrestling geeks/fans are asking worldwide -- should WWE pull the trigger on Ryback and have him win the WWE Championship from CM Punk on Sunday, or should the Best In The World hold his title all the way until Royal Rumble?

Since Vince McMahon announced that Ryback was going to be facing Punk instead of Cena (to which the world rejoiced...I'm sorry, I've met Cena a few times in person and as a human being, he's badass...but as a character on TV, he makes me want to have a monster truck challenge with Hulk Hogan than have him throw me off the top of a building after it's over), I've been saying that there's absolutely NO way in hell they should take the title off of Punk.

Until now.

I still want Punk to have a reign that's over a year long, but I've always been a fan of someone holding the title for a long time. It just gives more legitimacy back to the championship first off, and secondly, when someone who's a heel like Punk holds it for that long, you'll be more and more invested to see if and when someone will beat him for it. THAT'S what I dig about Punk and his title reign right now.

But what I dig more? New competition at the top. If you have Punk go over Ryback on Sunday, what does Punk gain from it? He ends the winning streak of someone who hasn't really beat any big names other than The Miz (who is getting the complete s**t end of the stick lately)...whoopdee doo. But if you have Ryback beat Punk, dude is instantly made. He keeps the winning streak intact, he beats the "Best In The World" -- something Cena, Jericho, Ziggler, Big Show, Kane, Daniel Bryan, and TONS others before him haven't been able to do -- AND he wins the biggest prize in the business.

Is Ryback ready? Probably not. Was Sheamus ready? No, but look where he's at now. He grew into his role as champion. Even Punk admitted his first time that he probably wasn't ready, but look what happened to him -- he's the top heel and arguably the best superstar on the roster right now. Why? Because he had a taste of it, got to see what the view was like from the top, and then upped his game so he stayed a main eventer. You can have Ryback do the same exact thing -- get a taste, have him drop the title, and then he SHOULD be more motivated to get back to the top. So here's what I say WWE does:

1) Have Ryback go over Punk at HIAC on Sunday.
2) Have Ryback hold the title until Royal Rumble where he drops it to The Rock.
3) Have Punk win the Royal Rumble -- this gives us our Punk/Rock match that we're all expecting at the Rumble, but gives it on a MUCH bigger stage (where it belongs.)
4) By doing this, you keep Rock/Cena away from each other, considering you billed their match last year as once in a lifetime. (Call me crazy, but a match billed as that should only happen ONCE.)
5) You can move Cena on to face Taker (which is a total money match, because it's believable WWE would have Cena end the streak. Of course, he better not or I'll piss on the doors of Titan Towers.)

Thoughts?
