CM Punk was surprisingly propelled into the World Heavyweight Championship scene in 2008 after he won the Money In The Bank contract at WrestleMania 24. Later that summer, he cashed in on Edge to claim his first world title in WWE.

Bruce said that “90 per cent” of the roster didn’t think Punk would ever be one of the company's top guys, including The Undertaker, who “didn’t see it [Punk’s appeal] and didn’t think he’d make it to the next level”.

After Punk’s cash-in on Edge, Bruce recalled how a surprised Undertaker simply said, “Really?” to him backstage.
