#4 CM Punk survives the odds (2011)
Winning the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2011, few could have expected CM Punk would hold the prestigious gold for 434 days.
Then-RAW General Manager John Laurinaitis certainly didn't see this happening, as he hoped to bring Punk's anti-authority reign to a quick end after just one month.
Booking Punk against Alberto Del Rio and The Miz at TLC 2011, the Second City Savior was clearly against the odds but wasn't afraid to fight on.
Taking it to his World Champion opponents, Punk was literally tied up by the A-Lister and the Aristocrat, who worked well together at first, before turning on each other.
Showing that sometimes, strength in numbers doesn't work, Punk was able to fend off the two, retaining his title at the event, and continued to hold the title until the 2013 Royal Rumble.
