Top 5 rebels in WWE history

4. CM Punk

At number 4 is the current rebel, CM Punk. With one promo, Punk shattered the proverbial glass ceiling and became a megastar overnight in the WWE. The ‘Summer of Punk’ storyline in the WWE saw him becoming the number 2 face in the organization, as he went on to hold the WWE title for 434 consecutive days in the organization.

Punk’s “pipe bomb” promo brought a new era in the WWE, and was responsible for shaking things up in an otherwise uninteresting period in professional wrestling. With CM Punk being the new “anti-hero”, many have since compared him with Steve Austin, and rumour has it that the two could possibly face each other at WrestleMania next year!
