Well yeah, but the title is kind of irrelevant. He was frustrated that he wasn't considered for promotional stuff like posters and cups and Cena was even though he's (in his eyes, although he's right) the best wrestler in the world and Cena isn't. Vince even outright said last night that Punk isn't worthy of being on promotional stuff.
Punk wants to beat Cena to prove that he's better than him, not necessarily to take his title. He obviously doesn't think having the belt makes you the best because he doesn't have it, Cena does. Having the title on the line is only really there to add to the drama since there is really nothing else of value that Punk can take with him. What else would he do? Show up in ROH and just say "I beat John Cena so I'm the best!" Every heel does that.
No, but the "WWE Universe" does, and that's his argument. He's saying that people "think" Cena's the best because he's champion. So while HE may not necessarily believe it, he knows "everybody" else does, and thus he's gonna spit in their face by winning the title, which is the sign of being the "best," and then leaving with it so nobody can ever say "Well, I'm champion now so I'm better."
EDIT: I mean, hell... Doesn't he, in his mind, already think he beat Cena? Wasn't he bragging about that? Why wouldn't he just stop then if it wasn't about the title/what it represents to WWE fans?
