They would have blown that off at Summerslam anyway.
Do you REALLY think WWE has that kind of patience? They're kinda forced into it with Rock and Brock and they suck at it.
Bringing Punk back for Summerslam was a minor problem in the grand scheme of things. The bigger issue was turning the Summer of Punk into the "Who texted Kevin Nash?" saga. If they had kept the focus on Punk and Cena and sweeping changes in WWE rippling from Punk's win, then it still works even with Punk only missing a week.
