10 Best WWE Raw Cliffhanger Endings Ever
8. CM Punk's GTS On The Rock (23 July 2012)
Raw 1000 is memorable for AJ Lee ditching Daniel Bryan at the alter and becoming new Raw GM, The Brothers Of Destruction and D-Generation X reuniting to batter jobbers and CM Punk blasting The Rock with a show-ending GTS. That's what you get for "boxing with God", Rocky.
What a moment this was.
Punk, who had been flying the flag for fans as WWE Champ since the prior year, was suddenly turned into a jealous heel who couldn't stomach Dwayne Johnson's Hollywood lifestyle. The beauty in this one came from Punk's idealistic view of a WWE system sans politics, celebrity pandering or part-time returns.
It had touches of reality, and that's what made it special. Plus, there was zero explanation from Punk on the night for his decision to stop a People's Elbow and crack Rocky's face with his knee. All fans got was a frosty glare.
