What's the point?

After every negative post I make I think to myself, 'you know what, I shouldn't be so negative, after all, I haven't made a post about TNA in a while so there is no need to be so  blunt in my posts.' Truth is, I just write about the latest stuff going on, and, unfortunately, it is always something stupid. Take TLC, December's PPV. I don't want to ruin anything for you but if you browse the internet a lot to look at wrestling news, you will probably know this anyway, the card is starting to shape up and some matches are, pretty much, known. Big Show will face Sheamus, Cena will face Ziggler and it seems, even though it was not officially announced yet, that CM Punk will defend his WWE championship against Ryback. I am 95% sure of this because apparently local advertisements in the area the PPV is taking place have announced the match as part of the card.

What am I getting at? Simple. What's the point in having a title match when we already know that The Rock will face Punk at the Rumble? Both men have confirmed it. Punk confirmed it recently during a parade while The Rock has made numerous tweets at Punk, ending it with the hash tag 'Royal Rumble.' Now this could all be done just to make the internet smart asses think they know what is going to happen, then suddenly they throw a curve ball and wham! Ryback wins the title at TLC! However, knowing the way the WWE works [like announcing a Wrestlemania main event 1 year early], that have no problems with there being common knowledge that a big match will take place at a big PPV, so this is not likely to be the case. Going on the assumption that Ryback is going to face Punk, it means that [unless he wins of course] they need to find a way to make him lose, again. He lost in October, he failed to win in November and no matter how you sugar coat the way he lost and will lose, if he doesn't win in December, that's 3 PPV's and a big fat 0 in the wins column. Ryback can go on squashing lower or mid carders in the opening match of a show but if he does not get the big wins, he is going to lose momentum. In all honesty it would not surprise me if Ryback's push soon grinds to a halt. The WWE seem to be concentrating more on maintaining CM Punk's push in the build up to his match with The Rock, so if Ryback has to lose to him to keep this up, he is going to. Don't be surprised if next year you don't see much of Ryback, if any of him.
