Having fun as booker

So I decided to have some fun and play booker for a little while. The particular story I wanted to re-book was the whole Ryback mess. Now let's say that as booker, I realised [or was told] not long before the PPV that Ryback was not ready for the title. How would I go about having him lose the match but still look like a monster? It's quite simple. Yes the match type does not allow for any DQ's, this is true, but that does not mean the match has to end with one or the other having to win. I know it's harsh on the fans to have a 'non finish,' but if you're going to have one then you must make the show go out with a bang.

Here's how it goes. Ryback is in the cell with CM Punk. Suddenly the lights go out. The viewers are in shock while the commentators play to it, pretending to be clueless and wondering if the electrics are faulty. A while later the lights are back on. One side of the cell is open and Punk is standing by the entrance with Vince. Ryback is in the ring confused, staring at them. He shrugs and calls for CM Punk to get back in the ring but Punk walks off backstage with Vince.

The following night on Raw, Vince is out with CM Punk. People are obviously confused since it was not long ago that Punk beat the ever loving crap out of the WWE chairman in the ring. Vince says what happened last night might surprise people but the reason he did what he did was because he realised, after the ruthless beating he took from CM Punk, that Punk is the true force of this company. Punk is the type of guy he needs to lead the company with ruthless aggression and that is why he must remain the champion.

I think this scenario is better than the referee interference angle. It would have kept Ryback as a viable threat and it would also have kept his streak intact, since he did not lose the match at the PPV. Not only that but it would keep the title on Punk for now, since it is probably not the best time for Ryback to have it. As well as this it would turn Vince heel [as I find it hard to ever accept him as a face] and he could start a Stone Cold v McMahon type mini fued going with Ryback, giving Ryback a further push since the guys who fued with Vince tend to be main eventers. Vince would obviously be putting other wrestlers in Ryback's path rather than himself, thus continuing Ryback's push and allowing Punk to stay clear of Ryback for now and keep the title for a defense later at the Rumble PPV against Dwayne 'The Rock' Rocky.
