New Champ!


Now that's how you make stars! In a surprise move, WWE pulled the trigger on a young talent and made C.M. Punk the new World Champion on last night's Raw show. They set it up so well too. After Jim Ross came out to give his Farewell To Raw speech in front of his hometown crowd, Edge interrupted and had his flunkies escort Ross out. Batista came in and beat him down, which led to Punk cashing in the Money In The Bank briefcase to get his immediate title shot. They waited so long to ring the bell that I was sure Edge would get out of it, but Punk hit the Go To Sleep and won the belt in about ten seconds. And just like that, you have a fresh main event picture. What took you thick-headed bastards so long?
