The only match I'm remotely looking forward to seeing out of this CM Punk title run is Punk - Jericho. If Jericho can pull some of his old tricks out the bag I think the two could have a stellar match deserving of a main event.
Back in the day Jericho could put together some amazing matches, with an array of big spots (check out one of his many matches with Ultimo Dragon in Japan, some of the best matches I've seen as far as pace and good psychology goes) and Punk's not unknown for that either.
The likelihood if this actually happening is pretty minimal though, they'll probably give him a feud with Kane and have him drop the belt to Cena.
I still think the best course of action with Punk would have been to keep him in ECW and have him feud for the next 6 months or so with Morrison or Noble (also moving him to ECW too) over the title in an this-is-actually-ROH-but-it's-got-a-WWE-trademark-in-the-corner series of matches with lots of technical skill and interesting outcomes or Elijah Burke. Then have him turn on someone like Kofi Kingston and go on a massive heel turn before winning the IC belt or something...then maybe forming a tag team with Noble or Burke which would raise the profile of the other wrestler and then do what they did with Jericho and kind of ease him into the top tier over the course of a year or so.
Not, have him win the MITB Wrestlemania, do nothing about it for months and months and then out of the blue defeat the companies top heel on Raw with no prelude what so ever.
