I've said it earlier that I would be OK with Punk losing, as long as they have something planned for the long-term with him, but would trust creative a lot more if they let him go over Cena. But with the way his new shirt's (supposedly) selling and how interested people are getting in him, maybe he's cemented himself as a permanant fixture in the main event (or at least I hope so).
I guess what I'm saying is: as long as there's something more planned for this angle, I'm OK with Punk losing to Cena at SS. Or am I totally off my rocker and Punk HAS to go over for credibility's sake? Thoughts?

Punk can lose, but it can't be clean.
The baseball analogy is way off, I feel. Punk isn't the Royals in that he hasn't sucked for years. His claim is that he's the "Best in the World" (which is precisely what that hot-selling new shirt says), and has been for years; he just hasn't been given the chance. Him not living up to that billing now that he has the chance could kill the entire angle.
