Wrestlezone’s Top 10: Money in the Bank Moments

Number 2: CM Punk vs. John Cena

CM Punk

With one of the hottest storylines and crowds in recent memory, CM Punk returned home to chase the WWE Championship. With his contract expiring at midnight, Punk beat John Cena in a match that was absolutely brilliant. A five star match, and one of the best matches in 2011, Punk and Cena tore the house down in Chicago. The atmosphere was electric, with Punk becoming who he is today. The reason CM Punk is at the spot he is now is because of this particular night. He proved he can carry a match, a feud, and a championship. The Cult of Personality shined on this night, and this match simply defined how much fans wanted wrestling to be “cool again.” CM Punk became the number 1 guy in the company, a ROH guy who Paul Heyman brought in. This was so different and fresh, but it worked like magic.
