10 Best WWE Pay-Per-Views Of The Past Decade

10. Money In The Bank 2011

Time's been a little unkind to both the pay-per-view and the match in which CM Punk iconically collapsed Vince McMahon's house of cards with a blown kiss. The company's miserable mishandling of the moment in the aftermath did much to deflate the tension the 'Voice Of The Voiceless' created with his legendary Las Vegas 'Pipe Bomb'. In a bottle (something Punk's ironically kept his hands off over the years), the show still has some magic.

Punk and John Cena had marginally better matches as the years progressed, but few benefited from their chemistry quite as much as the Chicagoans live at Money In The Bank. A white hot atmosphere buoyed the battle from something potentially pedestrian into positively pulsating. Punk's victory and departure with the WWE Title was at very least the majestic scene the evocative angle had promised.

Elsewhere on an otherwise forgotten show, Alberto Del Rio won a Money In The Bank ladder match in which he was by far the least interesting proponent, Daniel Bryan surprisingly won another in which he was, and Randy Orton and Christian continued their astonishingly entertaining feud with another exceptional and understated pay-per-view gem.
