CM Punk's hottest WWE run came from mid-2011 to early 2013. But even then, he was still regularly having to make do with co-main event slots. The top of the bill was still revolving around the franchise of John Cena. Nevertheless, Punk still managed eighteen WWE pay per view main event appearances in his eight year WWE career. That's not bad at all, especially when his really hot run only lasted a couple of years. His first main event spot was in ECW's Elimination Chamber at the infamous December To Dismember pay per view. This was within his first year with the company, and he had been Paul Heyman's pick to win the match. However, Vince McMahon saw otherwise and booked Bobby Lashley as the winner. The whole show ended up a big disaster. Punk's most famous main event moment was undoubtedly his Money In The Bank 2011 match with John Cena. He won the bout, earning Dave Meltzer's coveted Wrestling Observer five star award. It really was one of the best WWE main events ever.
