Dot Net WWE News: C.M. Punk injured at live event

WWE star C.M. Punk was shaken up at a Raw live event in Springfield, Missouri on Saturday. Punk was teaming with Antonio Cesaro in a match against Ryback and The Miz during the show's main event. Punk was dropped on his head during a botched suplex by The Miz and rolled to ringside in obvious pain. The word after the show was that Punk was sore, yet was expected to be okay.

Powell's POV: Punk dodged a bullet. Actually, WWE and The Miz also dodged a bullet, as there's no telling what WWE would have done if Punk were unable to work The Rock at Elimination Chamber or work at WrestleMania 29, not to mention the fallout that Miz would have felt for any part he potentially played in the botched spot. The feeling within WWE is that Punk will be able to work today's live event in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
