CM Punk's famous pipebomb promo to close Raw in 2011...

CM Punk was getting frustrated with his role in the company and with his contract expiring soon, Vince McMahon would do Punk a favor and give him a live mic to say anything he wanted.

The words that followed would reverberate throughout the entire WWE Universe. They ranged from calling John Cena a corporate kiss ass, to stating that once Vince McMahon dies, nothing will change as the company will be controlled by his daughter and "doofus son-in-law."

After the pipebomb, Punk would face Cena at Money In The Bank for the WWE Championship where Punk won and left the company with the title. They spectacularly played off the storyline that Punk did leave, but in reality, he signed an extension and made a surprising return in July.
