Adam Pearce appointed RAW General Manager after Triple H announced Nick Aldis as the new SmackDown GM. The two are competing to sign top superstars, with Aldis recently adding Randy Orton to the SmackDown roster. CM Punk is set to declare his brand preference on RAW, and Pearce plans to approach him with an offer to join the red brand. The offer could include a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship without having to win the Royal Rumble. Vince Russo suggested a storyline for Punk and his wife, AJ Lee, involving a disciplinary committee. Punk’s return has generated excitement and potential dream matches in WWE. It remains to be seen which brand he will choose, adding to the anticipation of RAW.
