Although he never achieved his dream of main-eventing a WrestleMania, CM Punk managed to scratch out a pretty impressive resume at Mania. Sure, he lost to Randy Orton clean and was the Undertakers final victory at Mania, but he also won some big matches. Punk is the only man to win two Money in the Bank ladder matches, both at WrestleMania in consecutive years. He also retained his WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXVIII against Chris Jericho in the midst of his 434-day title reign. Those are some high-profile matches for Punk, so even though he didnt go on last, he certainly made an impression.
