Every CM Punk WWE WrestleMania Match Ranked From Worst To Best

8. vs Rey Mysterio - WrestleMania XXVI

Though not his first match on the Grandest Stage of Them All, Punk's appearance at WrestleMania XXVI was his first outing in a singles match.

Unfortunately, it was also his most forgettable Mania clash.

His opponent was Rey Mysterio, who had become the target of the Straight Edge Society. Punk and his band of bald weirdos attempted to convert the lucha legend, but failed at every step. Even the creepiest ever rendition of 'Happy Birthday' wasn't enough to sway him. If Mysterio lost this match, then he would be forced to join the group. If Punk lost, then... well, nothing would happen. Rey really needed a different lawyer around this time. 

Mysterio won in just six-and-a-half minutes. The match was probably the best it could have been given the circumstances, as the two combatants had decent chemistry and were good workers. They simply weren't given the chance to get going. They would go on to have much better matches over the following months. This is one of those examples of WrestleMania being the start of a feud rather than the end, and it didn't do either of these guys any favours.
