Perhaps the most famous fourth wall breaking in recent history, this one involves one of the company's most controversial stars: CM Punk. After becoming number 1 contender for the WWE Championship, Punk would cut the promo of a lifetime on the June 27, 2011 edition of RAW, to a prone John Cena.

Saying that the company was a parade of "shameless a** kissers" Punk vowed to leave the company in three weeks, as champion.

The most shocking moment of his monologue is when Punk name-dropped New Japan Pro Wrestling, at a time where the word wrestling was banned in WWE, nevermind mentioning another company.

Punk also gave a mention to Ring of Honor, and longtime friend Colt Cabana, who appeared at the Money in the Bank pay per view, and saw his best friend win.
