10 Great WWE Matches That Didn't Have A Finish
10. John Cena vs CM Punk - Raw 1000
2012 saw the 1,000th episode of Monday Night Raw, and WWE celebrated the impressive milestone with the usual pomp. There were nostalgia pops, a weird cameo from Charlie Sheen, and to headline the night, another battle between top stars John Cena and CM Punk.
A combination with remarkable longevity, we’d seen this match multiple times by this point but it never missed. The two had well established chemistry by this point and they played on their history, with callbacks and reversals hewn by their previous contests.
WWE had a swerve up their sleeve, though, in the form of a Punk heel turn. With the ref incapacitated, Big Show hit the ring and knocked out Cena with a punch, while Punk just watched on. That wasn’t enough for the win, but when Big Show reinserted himself, the bout was thrown out.
The Rock then hit the ring to clear out Show; his scene stealing wasn’t appreciated by Punk, who hit the Hollywood star with a clothesline and a GTS to signify his villainy. No one could be too upset that the latest Punk/Cena match didn’t get an ending, and the combination of star power and story progression was smart.
