CM Punk started a feud with Paul Heyman after the former ECW boss cost him the Money in the Bank Ladder match. The rivalry led to a dream match between Punk and Heyman's client Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2013.

Lesnar battered Punk during the opening exchanges, but the Chicago native used his savvy to gain the upper hand. Just as Punk put himself in the position to seal a massive victory, Heyman interfered and turned the tide. Lesnar managed to win after hitting Punk with the F5 onto a steel chair.

Even though there was an elaborate main event angle that resulted in the formation of the Authority, this show is still remembered for Punk and Lesnar's classic bout.


#1 CM Punk and The Undertaker stole the show at WrestleMania 29

One of CM Punk's biggest frustrations during his time in WWE was that he never got to headline WrestleMania. Despite being the most entertaining performer in professional wrestling for two consecutive years, he was overlooked in favor of The Rock and John Cena.

The Voice of the Voiceless felt that his stellar performances could have been rewarded with a triple-threat main event. However, a WrestleMania match against The Undertaker wasn't a bad consolation prize. Determined to prove himself, Punk carried a compromised Undertaker to another great match.

While Punk failed to break the streak, he and The Undertaker overshadowed all the other big names on the card.
