"@CMPunk & @TheRock closing segment on #RAW was a fantastic conclusion to the broadcast for @WWE. Big money promo by both. Felt old school."
@CMPunk is the best villain to practice his trade in @WWE in years. Could have been a star in any era. #RoyalRumble vs @TheRock =physicality
That's what villains do, cheat to win/gain advantages."@Stanleyalumona: @JRsBBQ that is if #WWE is ready to stop Punk from cheating to win."
