I have an idea. Yeah, this is fantasy booking at its worst, but hear me out.
I think John Cena should win the title at Summerslam, with CM Punk not factoring into the decision at all - and under questionable circumstances. It has to be something beyond just being outside the ring at the time, or not part of the pin. It needs to be to the point where all the smarks go AWWWWWWWW WHAAAAAT YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME.
Punk helplessly watches it unfold, and snaps. He beats the living crap out of Cena all over the ringside area, locks in the Anaconda Vice and WILL. NOT. LET. IT. GO. (hell, you could have AJ come out and yell DO THE RIGHT THING PUNK but that might be over-the-top just a bit...)
The next night on Raw, Punk is all smiles backstage at the start of the show. Josh Matthews asks Punk about the previous night and Punk cuts him off (but not in a heelish way) and says he was very emotional about the result of the match last night, but he doesn't want to waste another second - he's going to go out to the ring right now and ask John Cena to come out so he can clear things up with him face-to-face like a man. Cue the new opening sequence and pyro, Cole and Lawler do their OMG YOU SHOULDA SEEN IT LAST NIGHT thing after every PPV, and Punk comes out as usual.
Punk politely asks Cena to join him, and Cena comes down the ramp obviously not at 100%, but proudly holding up the belt with his "good arm" and doing what he can to make Punk very aware of that The Champ is There. (I now owe the real Vince $50.)
Punk starts off a sentence and hits Cena with the mic, throws him out of the ring, clobbers him with the belt, puts him through the steps, hits him with the steps, hits him with a chair a few times, puts him through the announce table.. then puts the belt on the fallen Cena's stomach and says "I wanted to tell you... the rematch clause that every champion gets? Well, I already cleared it with the Board of Directors this morning... my rematch is tonight."
The whole night is a big sympathy night for Cena, who will do his best walking-to-the-gallows (heh, get it? You know, Punk, Straight Edge, Luke Ga.. aw never mind) impression all night. Doctors will tell him that nothing is structurally damaged but that he has bad symptoms and shouldn't compete, but that because his official medical clearance from his physical following the PPV from earlier in the day was already processed, and because his injuries, while near-debilitating in the short-term, aren't severe enough to warrant an emergency medical suspension (which would strip Cena of the belt anyway and make it vacant) he can't stop the match from happening tonight unless Cena asks for a suspension.
Cena refuses to quit, of course, and Punk goes FULL. DEVIL. As Cena is making his entrance, Punk attacks him outside the ring and throws him around all over the place some more, all before the match has a chance to start. He hits him with the monitors on the floor from the announce table that was wrecked at the start of the show and throws him into the steps again, before dragging him up off the ground and pushing him into the ring.
Punk gnashes his teeth and drools like a wolf (well, maybe not literally, but you get the idea) as the ref keeps asking Cena if he wants to call it off now and Cena won't do it. Superman finally gets to his feet in the corner, and the ref leans a bit over the rope on the announce table side and tells the folks down at ringside that Cena wants to continue and asks the timekeeper to ring the bell. Before he can turn his back, Punk low-blows Cena.
The bell rings and Punk immediately scoops Cena onto his shoulders, hits the GTS, 1-2-3, wins the title. Crowd is booing the shit out of him, and he points at Cena and asks the crowd if he's their savior, if he's their favorite. He then puts Cena in the Vice and once again will. not. let. go. The show ends with the new Champion maniacally laughing with Cena helpless.
Cena takes six or seven weeks off to recuperate from the injuries sustained (giving him that break everyone thought he'd take earlier this year) and gives Punk two months of being the most diabolical heel bastard possible. Punk beats Cena dirty the first time back at Survivor Series, but beats him clean in December... which sets up for the return of The Great One.
Whaddaya think?
