10 Greatest CM Punk Matches of All Time

One name in the wrestling world that fans will never forget even if he never steps in
the squared circle again is the straight edge superstar, CM Punk.
Ever since his departure from WWE and the wrestling world entirely in 2014 he has been
pretty much ignored in the history of WWE and his matches are often not featured on
the network or on their YouTube channel which is a shame because he's had some pretty damn
good ones.
With him being in the news lately for multiple reasons what better time to look back at the
10 best CM Punk matches in WWE history.
10: CM Punk v Triple H: Up first is an encounter that may have had a terrible ending but was
a physical match that was during the height of CM Punk's run in 2011.
his night of champions match against Triple H. This match ended with Triple H on top due
to outside interference even though he was supposed to be face.
Strange but everything up to that was great.
9: Punk v Undertaker: Even though this next match was the best on the card, it shouldn't
of happened.
Punk was requesting a match for the championship and he really should have been in it as he
deserved the main event even if he lost.
He was given the boot because of the Rock Cena rematch though which was "soooo good."
He ended up facing the Undertaker in the phenom's last good match and was the best match on
the card.
8: Punk v Jericho: Another Wrestlemania classic now Punk bs Jericho at Mania 28.
Jericho had turned heel after his return and was on his way to a WWE championship match
at Wrestlemania against the former cult leader.
Although being in the middle of the card for a championship match it completely stole the
show and created some great rematches after it including a Chicago street fight which
could have made this list as well.
7: Punk vs Bryan MITB: While not the best match between these two (we'll get to that)
Bryan vs Punk with AJ as the referee at MITB in 2012 was still a great match.
AJ as the referee introduced a new element into the match as in Kayfabe both men were
after the former divas champ.
The match ended with Punk retaining.
6: Punk vs Hardy: You know when the name Jeff Hardy and ladder match are in the same sentence
it's gonna be a great match with at least one near death moment.
Hardys last PPV match before his return at Mania, He made sure to go out with a bang
against punk.
There were so many memorable spots in this match including the infamous Swanton Bomb
through the announce table.
5: Punk v Bryan OTL: Back to technical masterpieces and this was just that, Bryan Vs Punk at Over
the limit.
The first real meeting between the two Indy darlings was everything fans wanted it to
be and more.
It was as technical as a Bryan vs Punk match sounds like it should be: VERY and these two
tore the house down.
Let's remember this as the main event of that show and not... you know John Cena vs John
Laurenitis.
4: Punk vs Lesnar: The Paul Heyman guy showdown finally happened at SS 2013 and it was a bar
none match of the year.
Punk had turned face and was ready to destroy Lesnar and Heyman for Turing on him and what
followed was pure brutality (at least as much you would get in the pg era.)
It's a shame the two never met again because this match was great.
3: Punk v Cena RAW: The best way to describe Punk vs Cena on Raw in February 2013 is HOLY
MOTHER OF PILEDRIVER CM PUNK JUST HIT A GOD DAMN PILEDRIVER IN 2013.
This match was one of if not the best match in RAW history and was for the right to face
the Rock at wrestlemania.
While the outcome may have soiled it for some fans with Cena winning.
There is no doubt that this match shattered expectations for what was simply going to
be another RAW match.
2: Punk vs Joe: The only match not in WWE and punks first five star rated match, Punk
vs Joe was everything Indy wrestling personifies, two guys getting in the ring, kicking the
daylights out of each other for a full hour and leaving with wowed fans and a standing
ovation.
1: Punk v Cena MITB: The last five star rated match in WWE and Punks second one ever, this
match was everything a wrestling match should be not just Indy.
Red hot after the pipe bomb the match at money in the bank was helped by a hostile crowd
and a hero like welcome for Punk in Chicago.
Punk walking out through the crowd with the title is one of the great icons of modern
WWE.
