WWE: 5 Best Raw TV Matches Of 2013

2. John Cena vs CM Punk 2/25/2013 Dallas, Texas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGmgb19vv8M&hd=1 The outcome of this contest was never in question, but it did not matter. CM Punk and John Cena put on a performance that stunned even the most jaded wrestling fan. John Cena was on a collision course with The Rock heading into Wrestlemania 29 for the WWE Championship. There was only one man standing in his way, The Best in The World, CM Punk. Punk was dethroned as champion, a month earlier at the Royal Rumble by The Rock, and in the rematch at Elimination Chamber. John Cena, the Royal Rumble winner, was putting his title shot on the line. The Undertaker had not returned yet so the question lingered, what was going to happen with Punk? We were about to see the match that should have main evented Wrestlemania 29. I remember watching and tweeting, €œI don€™t know what Rock and Cena have planned for Wrestlemania, but it won€™t top what we just saw.€ Cena and Punk left everything they had in Dallas. There were powerbombs, hurricanranas, finishers, finisher reversals, submission escapes, and Vince McMahon somewhere losing his mind, watching his top star take a piledriver. This contest was the fourth of the series that began at Money in the Bank 2011. It was a perfect way to end this chapter of their rivalry. John Cena finally put away the one man he could not beat. CM Punk and John Cena were good enough on this night to make some think Rock vs Cena II wasn€™t happening. Amazing.
