Finally! The Rock has come back to claim what is his. By over coming the BEST IN THE WORLD (CM PUNK), and ending an amazing 434 day title reign. The best reign in modern day. No wonder why he’s called the great one right? Man oh man this sounds weird coming from a huge punk fan but a bet is a bet. I hope this is putting a smile on your face Ed. Lets not sell the BITW short though. It takes two people to make a match like that happen and let’s be honest hear last nights match at Royal Rumble was miles better then that “once and a lifetime” match at mania last year. You know why ladies and gents? That’s because CM punk was involved in the equation last night.. Ok enough about punk. My bet was to write an article on the Bramma Bull (sigh) After what some would say was a stail mate and being put through a table Allegedly by the shield; The Rock still managed to gain momentum spine buster the then champ leaving him hopeless in the middle of the ring setting him up for the iconic “people’s elbow” and getting the 1, 2, 3 on punk and celebrate in Phoenix AZ in front of the fans and his mom. However lets not forget that was AFTER punk pinned him but vinny Mac restarted the match after Rock’s request. None the less a win is a win. And the well self proclaimed “people’s champion is now your NEW WWE CHAMPION and once again on top of the mountain after 10 long years. Now the question remains…. What is next for CM Punk, what is next for the rock and more importantly what is next for the WWE TITLE???
