I think CM Punk's promo on Raw was just that, a promo. It wasn't a pipe bomb, it wasn't a shoot, and it wasn't even a worked shoot. The people who CM Punk mentioned where all guys who would be safe for CM Punk to mention because WWE thought about all the ideas Punk said. Back around MITB WWE was considering pushing Tyson Kidd, changing Brodus Clay's gimmick, and Daniel Bryan will be pushed as serious again after his split from Kane. IF this was a real worked shoot CM Punk would've mentioned Zack Ryder who the fans would actually give a crap about. Punk would've mentioned Santino Marella who actually can wrestle, but gets stuck with his goofball gimmick. Let's not forget about how Kane is being made to look as someone who is no longer a monster. The first two would've really resonated with the fans because both guys are guys who are not only frustrated, but fans actually like. Ryder is still getting "We want Ryder" chants even after the WWE jobbed him out.
