Punk can look legit even with Shield interference. Just book him in some more matches like the one he had with Cena last week and the one with Jericho a couple months ago.
Are you talking about Flair managing Ziggy? Or Flair managing Miz?
The Tag Team division is grossly mismanaged. Just like everything else that's not the WWE or World Heavyweight belt.
BTW, is there anything in the WWE that LOOKS more prestigious than the WHC belt? I can't think of it right now. I kinda wish they had brought back the Undisputed Belt from the early 00s instead of that bland, pathetic belt they're using right now.

Which I understand, especially after his two losses to the Rock. I was just surprised they didn't even make an appearance.

Yeah but he can't keep losing much like Ziggler.
Flair managing Ziggs.
Very true. Need actual tag teams.
Idk but I don't expect a change.

That's so sad. It's been all over the Internet.
I can't believe undertaker is taking on CM punk at Wrestlemania... I wanted something like a triple threat match for his streak... Like Undertaker Vs Lesnar Vs Triple H. Well I guess CM Punk would do since he never went up against his streak and I hope it'll be an awesome match. Luckily I'm not spending any $$$ watching this PPV

They would never ever do more than one wrestler at WM against the Undertaker. When Punk didn't get added to the Cena/Rock match it was fairly obvious that he would be facing the Undertaker. The problem is the WWE ruined what could have been an epic lead up if Punk was still champion. It would have been his long streak against Taker's long streak. That would have been difficult to predict. I don't want to spend the money either so I'm gonna do some reseach and see if any sports bars in my area are going to carry the show.

I think they've hinted pretty strongly for a Shield vs. Ryback/Orton/BigShow match. That one would be REALLY interesting...
I'll also call out a Sheamus vs. Ziggy match, which Ziggy will win and then cash in later that night.
Hell No will lose to PTP or whoever WWE throws at them. Then they'll feud for 6 months over nothing.
Now, who will Cesaro and Barrett face at WM29? I don't really see any good rivals that either of them hasn't already destroyed multiple times. Maybe they put Mark Henry on one of those matches? But he's a heel...?

I think the Punk/Taker match will be interesting and the only thing that makes the ADR/Sawgger match interesting is the hopes of a Ziggs cash in.

No Ryback in that match.
Sheamus should be fighting the Shield. Zigg might be against Y2J.
Might be DB and Kane facing each other.

Sounds about right from what all of the dirt sheets are reporting.

It's exactly what Moody would have wanted. Actually, I think that WWE was planning on doing a similar angle with Punk even if Moody were still alive, and even if he were completely healthy. Thus far, they've played that angle nearly perfectly. The only thing I would have changed? Having Punk beat Kane dirty by using the Urn for the win. But the Kane/Taker/Moody moment at the end also kinda needed to happen.
Punk is the best thing to happen to the WWE since Rocky retired (and, no, his current run does not count as him being an active wrestler), and anything they do to push him is a good thing.

It was an interesting choice. I believe Moody's children gave the "okay" to Vince. The problem is that Punk is still over with the fans and even insulting them doesn't gain the heat he needs. So really the only way for him to get legitimate heat is to mock/disrespect real life things like King's heart attack and Moody's death.

I don't think it's been perfect so far. Here's my point.
Royal Rumble: Punk loses to Rock
Elimination Chamber: Punk loses to Rock
Raw: Punk loses to Kane. (Lamest loss since the People's Elbow pin.
How can you legitimately think Punk has a chance to beat Undertaker when he loses to much less devastating moves than the Tombstone. Just not gonna happen.

I agree except for Punk losing to Kane. In my mind by having Kane beat Punk he should be next in line for a title shot after Rock/Cena is over.

I also said that was the only part that I had any issue with. But IDK how they could have had Punk beat Kane and still have that moment with Kane, Taker, and Moody at the end.
And, honestly, it kinda doesn't matter. It's longstanding WWE/F history that Bearer's Urn gives both Taker and Kane "Extra Power", or something like that. And Punk acted sufficiently spooked by the Urn during the match that the Extra Power play could potentially work.
My guess? Punk/Kane again this week. Punk wins dirty, setting up Punk/Taker at WM.
