That being said, Punk doesn’t HAVE to be a transitional champion. He’s young enough and capable enough of working a full-time schedule where he can just BE the guy for a while. So if, God forbid, Wardlow doesn’t work out for whatever reason, they can just keep the title on Punk and not have to freak out and rush it onto a full-time guy who may not even be deemed worthy of a roster spot a year later and ends up in CYN.
