#1 CM Punk

The voice of the voiceless truly became voiceless when the cerebral assassin tried to end his career. After having one of the greatest summers in professional wrestling history, CM Punk's career came to a screeching halt when he ran into the 14-time world champion.
Through what they've both said in the ring and outside of it, it's clear that the two talents have a deep sense of disdain for each other.
When a non-handpicked wrestler rises to the top of the company without any help of backstage politics, Vince hates it. And what does he do? He sends out The Game to put the fire out.
In 2011, Punk became THE top star in the company after getting the better of John Cena in two high-profile main events. Instead of being booked to go onto greater things, he was instead pitted against Triple H in a bout Hunter specifically came out of retirement for.
So surely, a man who wrestles once a year was going to put over the top star in the industry? Wrong. Triple H would go on to pin CM Punk and then go straight back into retirement.
Yes, Punk went on to keep being a main event talent but after getting pinned by Hunter, he was never seen as THE guy ever again, instead, John Cena returned to being No.1 and change became a thing of the past.
