so far, Punk hasn't even defended the WHC Belt ever since he won the vacated title (due to Rollins being sidelined with injury) at the previous SNME vs Jey Uso.

But in a way, it's good that Punk is the current WHC.
No other main roster male talent (besides Seth Rollins and Logan Paul) has put in the work more than Punk has done.
Nobody gets super big crowd reactions than Punk.
Punk actually makes the WHC Belt feel more prestigious again.

at this point, the only way I would be quick to take the WHC Belt off of CM Punk is if he gets into hot water with the WWE-TKO and find himself in legal trouble when he inevitably gets sexual harassment charges, when police catch him and Roxanne Perez in the act.
