In terms of turning points in John Cena's career, his match against CM Punk at Money In The Bank 2011 was a massive moment.

It became the first WWE match to receive Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer five star award since 1997's Shawn Michaels versus The Undertaker Hell In A Cell match. That's saying something. The award put Cena on a level with the likes of 'Taker, Michaels, Steve Austin, and Bret Hart. Smark fans took notice.

There can be no doubt about it, the match was one of the best of all time. Yes, CM Punk was at the top of his gameand a big part of that success. But Cena was right there with him, andhe was on exceptional form that night. The "you can't wrestle" chant was redundant after that performance.
