The one you’ve all been waiting for. Despite Punk’s own personal gripes concerning Mania 29 and his proposed Triple Threat, 2011 seems the most glaring botch.
With the pipe bomb just a couple of weeks away and Punk undeniably over with the crowd despite leading the final pathetic remains of the Nexus, he decided to pick a fight with Randy Orton… could they have aimed a little higher?
Cena was right there as the face of the establishment that the Nexus, Punk on commentary, as well as in his previous gimmick as Straight Edge Jesus, had all been going against.
Kickstarting The Rock and Cena feud as early as possible derailed that logical planning, as it did in the years that followed.
It’s hard to otherwise pin-point exactly where and why Punk could have closed Mania, but with his star reigniting interest for much of the existing fan base, he, without question, should have been worked in somewhere to close WrestleMania.
