4. Money In The Bank 2011 (John Cena vs. CM Punk)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaMHbrEfUc4 Where were you when CM Punk made his now famous worked shoot promo back in July of 2011? It was the defining moment of CM Punks career that elevated him to an elite wrestling status that everyone knew he deserved, but never got the chance to have. From that point on, a feud between him and John Cena for the WWE Championship was a necessity. In the weeks leading up to their match at Money in the Bank, Punk would drop pipe bomb after pipe bomb as the fans listened to every word he spoke. He was the voice of the voiceless, and he was finally able to gain some control over not just WWE programming, but Vince McMahon himself. The video promoting the big match highlighted many of these controversial moments and painted Punk as a loose cannon who, win or lose, no longer had to worry about being yet another cog on the wheel. This was a moment in WWE where nobody knew what was going to happen, and the video made everyone, even the media outside of sports entertainment, more interested in finding out what was going to happen with both CM Punk and the WWE Championship.
