CM Punk's career took off in earnest after defeating John Cena at Money In The Bank 2011, a match regarded by many as one of the finest in recent WWE history. Although not a bout of quite the same caliber, Owens' defeat of Cena at last week's Elimination Chamber was still a great contest which should help take the NXT Champion's career to the next level. Beating Cena clean will make anybody look strong, and that stands as a testament to the effectiveness of his oft-criticised character. However, credit must also be given to Owens for the ease and speed with which he gathered support in the build-up, as this crucially made the victory as meaningful as it was impressive. Sunday's win could be a huge launchpad for the Canadian, just as it was for Punk four years ago.
