Eh, I don't know that it was punishment so much as sloppy planning/execution when it comes to protecting Big Daddy V as his imminent move to Smackdown! nears. Now Punk uses the "Fat mother****er nearly killed me last night" card to drop the title like a fighting champion, and ECW can resume its ride down the path of excess en route to the Palace of Wisdom.
I'm so torn... can't they BOTH be ECW Champion?
