Survivor Series Dark Match, CM Punk’s Standing In WWE
– The dark match before tonight’s Survivor Series pay-per-view in Washington, DC saw Santino Marella defeat Chavo Guerrero with an eye-poke and a rollup.
— As seen in recent weeks, CM Punk has taken a lesser role on Friday Night SmackDown since dropping the World Heavyweight Championship to Undertaker at last month’s Hell in the Cell pay-per-view, instead being placed in a program with perennial mid-card performer R-Truth after months of top-level feuds. While it would appear that he’s been demoted, the company is looking to have him assist R-Truth for the time being by putting him over in hope that he reaches main event level status.

– If The Undertaker vs. John Cena transpires at WrestleMania 26 in Arizona, both are expected to remain faces heading into the match.
