PrintLast night on Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC, a sketch was aired involving CM Punk, Kimmel's cousin Sal, and Sal's son Archie. I'm guessing this was shot while Punk was in California for the San Diego Comic-Con last week.
The premise is Punk arguing with Archie, who's a Cena fan. During the sketch, Punk argues that he has a "championship title," while Archie says it's a "belt." That's pretty inside for this kind of appearance.
It's pretty funny stuff and great exposure for Punk. Kinda strange to see Punk in the New Nexus gear, though, as opposed to the "Best In the World" shirt. Maybe they hadn't decided to sell the latter online yet so he wore the old shirt to promote the remaining stock available at WWEShop.com? I dunno. Anyway, just watch it. The official YouTube video of the sketch is after the jump in two parts, presumably so ABC can double-dip on ad revenue.

“John Cena might be champion again if Rey Mysterio wins against the Miz and then John Cena goes against Rey Mysterio in a title match…and then he gets the title.”

WWE creative would be far less decisive in choosing Rey Mysterio as the winner! ;-)

I get the feeling they watched that footage and then booked Raw!

Thought the same thing

I can't believe
that after more than a decade of not following wrestling save for the annual Royal Rumble purchase that it would’ve been CM Punk to get me back in. I’m enjoying all of this stuff, Punk’s got it.

I know what you mean
It feels relevant again. Fresh and exciting. This could even top the Attitude-era, which I felt didn’t focus enough on in-ring performance. I mean, Billy Gunn was King of the Ring for cryin’ out loud!
Woah! Lets not get ahead of ourselves. Attitude era was insanely awesome!

It was great
But it wasn’t without it’s faults. Some good wrestlers never got a push because of it.

After watching this twice, I’m convinced this is a tongue in cheek jab at the WWE brass. The whole “It’s a world championship title, not a belt!” felt like something Vince McMahon would say. I mean, something had to be up if they nailed the results of Raw…right?
