I could actually see The Rock losing to Punk but getting the title before Wrestlemania. The win for Punk would cement his career even more than it already is, thus giving him a career push, but also setting up a big draw for the Chamber PPV. ALSO, if Rock loses at Rumble, he can fade back into the sunset for another month until the Chamber PPV.

If Rock wins the title, how do they explain where the champion went? It would be weird to see 2 months of shows without a champion.

I read on sescoops.com which is where I get all my wrestling info from and they were saying that the Rock is scheduled to be on several Monday Night Raw's after the Rumble PPV.
