CM Punk and John Cena in 2011

John Cena’s status as a polarizing force has already been mentioned. He’s had many great feuds, many great matches, many great promos, many great opponents.And then there was Punk.

Cena, for sure, has had many great feuds, many great matches, but only one true great rivalry. CM Punk vs John Cena is one rivalry that deserved to be a WrestleMania caliber main event. This rivalry gave rise to the anti-hero named CM Punk and it finally showed that Cena was not invincible.

It all began with a promo on June 27, 2011 and the heel Punk was instantly a cult hero. He returned to such a welcome at Boston after his suspension was overturned. This was a heel getting that reaction in the hometown of the babyface.

This would lead us to the night Punk won the WWE Championship at Chicago, making MITB as a PPV a success and making him The Cult of Personality.
