10 Wrestlers Who Didn't Know What To Do With Title Belts

4. CM Punk (WWE Championship)

CM Punk didn't make a single wrong move between sitting cross-legged at the top of the Monday Night Raw ramp in Las Vegas and the night of Money In The Bank 2011, even if atrocious booking and mismanagement of his character eventually undermined all he worked towards.

That includes just getting home from the event and pondering his next move.

Working the last-day-at-work aspect of the role magnificently, Punk headed back to his house and found a way not just to capitalise on the insanity of the moment but also undermine WWE at large as was his won't. He put the WWE Championship in the fridge.

Not short on decidedly ordinary things he could have chosen, 'The Voice Of The Voiceless' randomly stumbled on the best of the lot. Punk was home - where he'd promised to go after keeping his other promise of striking gold at John Cena and Vince McMahon's expense - and stored the industry's richest prize amongst his groceries. The value of that thing might have been a few thousand dollars, but in this photo, it was priceless.
