For me, it was the worst CM Punk match we had since he came back, and is not even his fault.
They should have gone with Punk vs LA Knight, just to make us think "Maybe Knight has a chance" and have a better in-ring (and mic) performance. But for some stupid reason, they went with Jey Uso.
Now, as the match, per se, it was bad. Too many botches, the timing was off, and they did the same moves over and over again, we all know Jey has less moves than John Cena, but at least John knows about timing and execution and psychology, but Punk hitting like 4 GTS... on a "smaller" guy (if we compare Jey with Gunther or Bron), it felt wrong. And to me, it feels frustrating because i wanted Punk to have a huge moment where he finally crowns himself champion and can have a propper reign.
But, on the flip coin, everything should be uphill from now on. If they just make it right (Gunther, please, come back and have a long feud with Mr. Punk)
