>>4868239"Heel muscle turns face" has been repeated about 75 times per year in 30 different promotions. It's total unimaginative garbage.
Would have been 10x better if: Ref bump, Wardlow low-blows CM, MJF turns his back on Wardlow, who then low blows MJF. CM Punk reveals he was wearing a cup, pins MJF 1-2-3
You can have Punk+Wardlow team up a few times, just to get them both on TV (vs MJF/Spears, vs 2.0, vs reDragon, etc) without exposing their singles records or burying singles talent. They can even take several losses because they aren't "a team", so they can play up miscommunication, or have a spot where Wardlow gets distracted by Spears/MJF and runs after them, leaving his partner behind in a 2vs1, etc etc.
