10 pay-per-view matches Triple H Should Have lost

#6 Triple H vs CM Punk- Night of Champions 2011

Momentum Killer

CM Punk literally brought many fans back into the WWE product in 2011 thanks to his stirring shoot promo on the company on RAW that June. In what was dubbed 'The Summer of Punk', he gave a dozen eyebrow-raising worked-shoots in the following two months, and would defeat John Cena for the WWE Championship in an excellent match at Money in The Bank, and a damn fine re-match at SummerSlam. Things slowed down then, he dumped the WWE Championship to Alberto Del Rio and entered a feud with Kevin Nash and Triple H.

The mini-feud with Nash was thankfully quietly ended and Punk battled Triple H in place. After at least one unscripted shoot where Punk easily got the better of Triple H, 'The Game' was ready to stop what was left of Punk's momentum train. Although the match between them at Night of Champions was a thrilling one, Triple H's win was not needed. Thankfully Punk bounced back 2 months later to win the WWE Championship that he would hold for over a year. Punk and Triple H would never face off again but were planned for a match at WrestleMania 30 just before Punk quit WWE. Could he have defeated Triple H? Just maybe.
