Well, that was an interesting promo with Punk.
He must have had to have had some of that stuff greenlit considering he plugged Jim Cornette's podcasts and the upcoming Netflix deal, plus the end of PG-rated RAW.

I think mentioning Vince was more surprising than mentioning Cornette. According to the dirtsheets, take them for what they're worth, they were given leeway to say what they wanted. Drew is super underrated.

It was overall a very strong episode, but my issue is that with both of the title programs, the champion seems like a third wheel. I'm more interested in Punk and Mcyntyre than I am in Punk vs Rollins. And I'm much more interested in Rock vs Cody than I am in Reigns vs Rhodes II. 

For the latter program I think that may be a part of it. They're building tension by having Reigns in the background and getting agitated at the Rock taking his place. It's great that the storylines have a lot of moving pieces and characters. But, at the end of the day, the main event of the show is going to be Cody and Roman, so you got to get the heat back there at some point within the next couple of weeks. Personal issues are great to add spice, but the championship should be the meat of the matter.
