That would have been an awesome twist, have him turn around after Nash talks, dodge Cena with a smirk on his face, sort of an "i'm not falling for that typical WWE bullshit" and then maybe have him pinned later after Nash actually physically interferes in some way.

Yeah, it would be much better for Punk to come across smarter than that. Unfortunately, it's a classic part of WWE babyface style. Once you get distracted, you're stuck.
Another aspect of WWE babyface style that Punk is having to conform to is the "cut the crap, let's fight" mentatlity that he showed at the SummerSlam contract signing, against Nash two Raws ago before security guards stopped him, and against Nash tonight before Mr. H'es stopped him. It doesn't feel exactly authentic, but it certainly does feel face.
