(you'd think they'll find a way to get it on, Punk's too hot not to be part of a PPV)
2. Whichever PPV it's on, is the Punk/Nash match the main event? You'd think not, since it's not something that should run more than 4 or 5 minutes, but the entire McMahon family is getting involved with this, meaning it's the 'real' angle going forward. Do they have the balls to end a PPV with something that doesn't involve Cena? (my answer: no)

1: I don't think all the matches have to be for the title, but all the titles have to be defended. Looking back, it looks like the only match since they started the PPV that wasn't a title match was (ironically) Big Show burying Punk last year.
2: That's where the buildup over the next few weeks comes in. You build up Punk/Nash/kliq to be the big angle of the show, and if it continues to get a big reaction, you shouldn't have a problem ending the show with it. But I agree that they're too gutless to not end the show with the title/Cena.
One other thing about the Punk verbal beatdown on Nash: is this thing getting too inside? Most of us know what was being said/implied, but how many Little Jimmys or "casual" fans know how badly Nash buried good talent or remember all the different gimmicks he had? Kinda starting to worry that it's going over the head of most of the live audience...
