When Chris Jericho returned to WWE after over a year away in 2012, fans weren't sure what to think.

The first-ever Undisputed Champion had acted strangely since coming back, refusing to speak the first week, and breaking down in tears the next.

Solidifying himself as a heel, Jericho sets his sights on CM Punk's WWE Championship, as a WrestleMania 28 match was set between the two.

In the weeks prior, Jericho tried everything to get into the head of the Straight-Edge star, who was closing in on six months as champion.

Along the way, Jericho would reveal Punk's real unfortunate past, calling Punk's father an alcoholic, and his sister a drug addict.

After a very real promo by Jericho, the two would have an epic match, that'd see the Second City Savior finally shut Jericho up.
