10 CM Punk Matches You Need To Relive On WWE Network
7. CM Punk/Daniel Bryan vs. Luke Harper/Erick Rowan (WWE Survivor Series 2013)
This is likely CM Punk's last great match during his tenure in World Wrestling Entertainment, and the first truly great match involving Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in WWE. Bryan was in the throes of the early days of his angle with Bray Wyatt here, and CM Punk was attacked by the Wyatts too in order to set up this contest. There's really nothing huge about this match, but it's just really well executed. CM Punk plays babyface-in-peril here so well, channeling the likes of the Rock and Roll Express' Ricky Morton. All things being equal, had Bryan not needed time to recover from injuries and had Punk not left, this would be a hidden gem of two of WWE's next great babyfaces having a truly great match against monster WWE heels-of-the-future. Oftentimes already forgotten, this one is definitely worth watching.
