17. Punks Sermon At The Rumble (2010)
Heading into 2010, CM Punk was well known for giving high and mighty speeches on Smackdown, but the Straight Edge Society leader used the Rumble match itself for his biggest platform. Entering at number 3, Punk quickly eliminated Evan Bourne and Dolph Ziggler, then grabbed the mic. He preached until JTG entered at number 4, then declared that it was clobbering time and quickly dispatched of him. Punk overcame Great Khali and Beth Phoenix, then eliminated Zack Ryder before resuming his preaching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lKn4XreyEA Triple H would end Punks sermon and soon eliminate him, but the in-ring commentary was something that was truly unique and a sight to behold.
