As cool as the angle was, this wrecked it. It's basically the equivalent of Cena getting fired last year and not missing a single week of TV.
They could have spent a few weeks playing up that the title was gone, and the uncertainty around it. And THEN you put together a tournament once you realize that he's not coming back. But they were so obsessed with the McMahon saga and the rise of HHH that everything else was thrown together to promote that agenda. Punk ended up being gone for ONE WEEK.
SLOW DOWN WWE. They have so few matchups that feel fresh, yet when they stumble upon a great storyline like this one, they have to rush it through because they want a big Summerslam rating.
I still think that they can put something great together for this storyline, but once again just like the Nexus angle it feels like they're picking the worst possible option to tell the story with. They started the storyline with greatness, so hopefully they can rescue it.
