With Daniel Bryan on fire in the WWE, many pundits have him as their favorite to win the Money in the Bank briefcase, but no one can ever write Punk off, as he has been there and done that. Punk, being the former WWE champion, has the momentum behind him, as well as a shot at redemption. Ever since Punk lost the WWE title to the Rock at the Royal Rumble, Punk’s stake in the company started to fizzle out, and he took the opportunity to take some time off to heal his nagging injuries, and rumor also has it that Punk’s contract is about to expire sometime soon after Summerslam. Punk expressed his disinterest in signing a new contract before, and the rumor mill has set off that he isn’t interested in extending his contract yet again. With WWE and Vince McMahon knowing the ability of Punk to draw ratings and carrying the company, they would be willing to do anything to keep Punk in the WWE. Does that mean Punk might win the WWE title soon? Yes, and what better way to do that than by winning the MitB briefcase this Sunday and guaranteeing himself a shot at the WWE title anytime in the future within the next year?
With all said and done, CM Punk is the one name that has made the most impact at the Money in the Bank PPV. He has a chance to do it all over again come Sunday, as he steps in the ring with some amazing performers like Daniel Bryan, Christian and a returning Rob Van Dam! Also, there is a chance that Brock Lesnar might cost Punk the match, or Paul Heyman might finally show his true colors and spoil Punk’s plans, but one thing is for sure. This Sunday at the PPV, Punk can steal the show once again like he did two years ago, and prove to the WWE Universe that he truly is the ‘Best in the world’, and also ‘Mr. Money in the Bank’.
