Unless something drastic changes, CM Punks last WrestleMania match also was Undertakers last victory in his undefeated streak at Mania. Punk was clearly pissed about dropping his WWE Championship after an epic 434-day reign so the Rock and John Cena could have something to feud over other than Cenas redemption. With that chip on his shoulder, Punk delivered a fantastic match against Taker, continuing a streak of show-stealing performances involving the Deadman. But that still doesnt soften the blow for Punk, whose stated desire has been to main event WrestleMania and never has gotten the opportunity.
