C M Punk always had great mic skills – he had become a sensation on the independent scene with vitriolic promos and the ability to provide great matches. But the WWE seemed oblivious to Punk’s pipebombs for a long time – until the Summer of Punk.
Punk had gotten so disillusioned with the direction of the company that he decided not to renew his contract in 2011. Two weeks before his contract came to an end, WWE Creative asked him to air his grievances live on Raw to close out the show. What followed was a scintillating promo that had the live audience captivated and the television viewers begging for more.
WWE had to heed to the fans’ voice and resigned Punk and he debuted his ‘Voice of the voiceless’ persona. John Cena, Triple H and Alberto Del Rio felt the full brunt of Punk’s pipebombs during the time and the manner in which Punk verbally thrashed Kevin Nash on Raw was particularly praiseworthy.
He would continue to have great feuds in the company before walking out of the WWE in 2014 after getting looked over for a WrestleMania main event spot yet again.
