10 Best WWE Promos Of The Decade

10. "You Have Become The New York Yankees"

CM Punk to John Cena

Monday Night Raw - July 11th, 2011

But when you stand here and tell me that I've lost sight, when you, the 10-time Champion who stands for hustle, loyalty and respect. Who, from Boston, Massachusetts, lives and breathes these red colors, the same colors as your beloved Red Sox, who also portray themselves as the underdog, I'm sure just like the Bruins portray themselves as the underdog. Just like the Patriots think they're the underdog! Hey, how about those Celtics? Are they the underdogs too? Here's what you've lost sight of, John, and I'm really happy that your father and your wife are sitting in the front row so they can hear it. What you've lost sight of is what you are, and what you are is what you hate. You're the 10-time WWE Champion. You're the man. Ladies and gentlemen, the Champ is here. You, like the Red Sox, like Boston, are no longer the underdog. You're a dynasty. You are what you hate. You have become the New York Yankees!

Heading into their historic Money in the Bank WWE Championship match, Vince McMahon remained determined to sign CM Punk to a new, lengthy WWE contract. Failing that, should John Cena allow Punk to claim the company's top prize and depart with it, he would fire him for his failure. Nobody knew where things were going.

Vince looked to have, begrudgingly, done enough to retain Punk's services until John Cena decided he could bite his tongue no longer and headed down to tell them both what's what. After laying out a classic promo, Punk responded in kind, eviscerating the hypocrisy of his entire character and tearing up the contract to close out the show.
