I don't think WWE will be buying ROH anytime soon considering ROH was just bought by Sinclair Broadcast Group (which means people may actually be able to watch ROH on TV since almost no one has HDNet), and I don't see them selling ROH unless it bleeds money like WCW did. Anyways, it was obvious that the promo was scripted when WWE kept re-airing it throughout their other shows for the next week. It was basically like Joey Styles' "shoot" promo in 2006 when they re-launched the ECW brand. Most of what he commented on are safe topics that WWE is aware of. He may have been allowed some leeway in how he said he, but notice that he didn't mention touchy subjects like WWE being under investigation for classifying wrestlers as free agents (which allows them to avoid having to pay social security, unemployment benefits, etc. while treating the wrestlers like employees), lack of transparency in the Wellness Policy, etc. It was still a great promo, one of the best in years. Last nights follow-up was great too, and pretty much solidified Punk as a face (and makes me wish they would bring back the WWE ice cream bars, LOL).
