IMO the best case scenario is he cashes in at Mania somehow. They've waited a while to build him, so I think they should turn him face before he cashes in and give him a few months before he cashes in...which would work out perfect at Mania. I like the idea of turning him face. He'll easily be the biggest face after Cena if that happens, the crowd already likes him.

Far as feuding with Punk, I can't think of a single factor that would indicate that happening outside of you having a gut feeling. What made you think of that scenario? I see it down the road, but not now.
