It’s crazy to think that it’s almost been 10 whole years that CM Punk has left WWE. Although his career has had so many ups and downs, he’ll forever remain one of my childhood favorites both before and after the Pipebomb. Before with the Straight Edge Society and his ECW time, and of course, the voice of the voiceless and longest reigning WWE Champion afterwards. What a career and while he’s hated by many today, I still love him for the wonderful memories he’s given me and many others.👍

[@strawberryfields4237]

I think his feud with Raven in ROH may be my favorite feud of that entire decade. That Man has BEEN given us some top tier stuff. Regardless of what Anyone thinks of him nowadays, or honestly, even back then, There's no denying his charisma and overall dedication to creating lasting and quality memories for millions over the decades.

[@venomsnekko]

Punk is a strange case. He's got an ego, but it's not entirely unwarranted. He repeatedly blames other people for what happens to him, but largely because he was continually getting screwed over by Vince. Like him or not though, the guy is a damn fine performer both in-ring and on the mic.

[@ITSHIM1294]

Screwed over? He was a big star. Even WWE champ for 434 days. Many people would have killed for his spot

[@christophermarriott1681]

​@@ITSHIM1294 Shut up. That reign was wasted putting over a part-timer like The Rock to end it. GTFOH

[@heyyoitsmebrian]

@Matthew he was red hot from MITB til summerslam and they did everything in their power to cool him off. Move the belt to Del Rio Have punk get beat up by Nash, which never led to a match. Job him out to triple H, the miz + R Truth. U cannot argue that any of those guys sold more t shirts, had more signs in the crowd or more chants on the reg than cm punk. On top of that he beat john cena 4 times in 2011 + 2012 and every single one of those had wonky screwy indecisive finishes Mitb 2011, ss 2011, ss 2012 and noc 2012.

[@ITSHIM1294]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@heyyoitsmebrian he immediately won the WWE championship after that at MSG (they even called Howard Finkel to introduce him) and held it for 434 days. PPVs, main events, even Main evented Raw 1000 with John Cena and closed the show by laying down The Rock. Even had a match with him, the only guy who had a single match with The Rock alongside John Cena. I wish I was “screwed” like him if I was a wrestler

[@SamsarasArt]

He was hampered by creative yes but CM Punk was never going to be THE top star. And compared to a lot of people, he has a pretty great WWE career.

[@halilheyman21]

We're so back

[@sammythebull7789]

[@Marshallyelkin]

i will never forget the next day, my step dad was taking me to my first ever wwe event. i was a die hard cm punk fan. i was so upset when kane took him out during the rumble. i remember my parents yelling at me for how frustrated i was. going to that raw, it was said he was on the card for the night. i was on the tip of my toes waiting for the tv static, all the way up to the main event, i was still chanting cm punk. then he never showed up. heading home my step father told me cm punk had left wwe and i bawled my eyes out all the way back home from cleveland. happy to see him in aew. his return has such a special place in my heart.

[@thomassteenkamp4575]

MJF is that you?

[@Mortalhater]

[@latrellslater9621]

how you feel about his return

[@pouyamahmoudi]

CM Punk is entertaining as hell. Wrestling is always fun to watch when he's involved.

[@xtremesonictheking1498]

One more thing, about him being in the main event, he should've got it at wrestlemania 29 vs. Cena or taker. He was feuding with cena on and off since 2011 and it would've made sense to end the longest feud at the time (the one people probably cared about more tbh) at mania. Even then Punk vs. Taker is still main event material

[@elgusaniiiodeljuego6823]

Punk wasn’t cut to end Taker’s streak (I think nobody was) and Cena was busy getting his rematch with the rock (yes that had to happen. You can’t finish rocky 4 with drago winning) Austin was the man to put punk over. They had to get him no matter what, even if he could only give a 5 min match.

[@IncredibleFulk1]

It should have been Punk vs Bryan at WM30. They were both hated enemies of the Authority and were often paired with each other against the Authority’s lackeys. It really felt like this was building up to a WM main event with both of them.

[@ahsanhashmi6741]

My love for wrestling died when CM Punk left in 2014. I've been watching WWE since 2001, at one point I was so done with WWE and then in 2011 CM Punk brought back the magic. Once he left, it was never the same. His AEW debut was such an AWESOME moment. Whenever Punk returns to wrestling, its a blessing. He truly is the best wrestler in the world (for me at least).

[@paulbrenchley5930]

Regardless of what people think of the man after brawl out, watching and listening to CM Punk helped give me a voice in a household where I never had one which led to me getting out of there. Will always have a soft spot for him

[@fcstfu4457]

What a wuss

[@StarShadow9009]

You could say he gave a voice to the voiceless

[@fightromeofight2352]

I remember going home that day and reading Cm Punk walked out and my 13 year old self was shook 🤣 I thought he gonna pop up in TNA that week

[@nyteowl8069]

I thought it was a work. Especially since Raw was coming to Chicago before Mania.

[@darkundead]

Things like Cena vs laurinaitus headlining a PPV, HHH winning over CM punk and Cena winning over Brock after his to return for 8 years. Reminds me of why my interest in WWE was at a low point during the early 2010s (2010-2012).

[@banan1as]

I agree with you man. However Brock at least showed dominance even though he lost and seem strong. That wasn't the case for Punk...

[@darkundead]

@@banan1as Brock needed that win. This was his first match in the WWE since 2004 and the feud with HHH didn’t really help him. They had to use Taker’s streak just for people to take Brock seriously. In summerslam 2013 not many cared for Brock. The crowd was basically behind CM punk.

[@banan1as]

@@darkundead i agree man. The thing is at least he dominated Cena and HHH. Also absolutely destroyed Cena at night of champions. Punk was just getting fucked up by Vince. But yeah i agree with you. We both know WWE and especially Vince cant make right decisions so yeah...

[@ShiningJudgment666]

@@darkundead Brock jobbing out to John Cena and Triple H was punishment for leaving WWE in 2004 and winning a court case against them thanks to the absurd no compete clause WWE imposed on him when he left in 2004. You can put it down to pettiness really. But of course he got his wins back. Squashing John Cena about 2 and a half years later and winning the feud with Triple H in the end.

[@theamazingcj2748]

Fun fact: When you do the ads in the beginning of the video, I actually watch them. When people put them in the middle of it, I usually just skip through to get to the rest of the video, but in the beginning, it's not too intrusive. I like it this way.

[@OhyeahMrKrabz]

I still remember CM Punk leaving WWE like it was just yesterday but at least he's back wrestling in AEW

[@AnantaAkash.Podder]

2013 ... CM Punk should have Headlined Wrestlemania 29... the Man put 434 days & Broke every bone of his... he truly deserved it

[@xtremesonictheking1498]

Something else I wanna mention, in that same interview (I think, I've only seen 1 clip of it but I remember that "toxic work environment" quote from a video) he mentions how he told vince and HHH "how do you expect anyone to get better without giving them a shot at the main event," and I feel like that's partly what led them to give styles, owens, mox, rollins, and bryan reigns later down the road. Of course it's not the sole reason cause all those guys are amazing and deserve it regardless, but it does feel like it's worth mentioning.

[@Jordo246]

Don't know if that applies to Styles, he was already a big name before he came to the WWE.

[@badgoodboy9437]

To think back , it’s really freaking wired that wwe just didn’t want to push punk that hard,and just resent to give what he want. Look at wwe right now ,they are willing to suck all these second class wrestlers dicks so hard. But they didn’t want to do that to CM Punk,a wrestler as good as Cena,a wrestler that almost can say saved wwe in early 2010s. And then, wwe never find another CM Punk till now 😅

[@ReasonablyHilarious]

I can only imagine how 🔥 his career would’ve been in the 2016 - 2019 era of WWE.

[@badgoodboy9437]

Maybe not that 🔥. wwe won’t change if CM Punk didn’t leave. If wwe are willing to give him a 🔥 career, he wouldn’t leave in the first place. But if he didn’t leave,the fans would love him to dead.

[@Drequan]

this is a certified wrestlingifs masterpiece

[@Brandonrios365]

Even though he’s not my favorite wrestler, he was the one who provided my favorite match in WWE. The one against Cena on the Raw in February 2013. I knew the company treated him like crap, but I didn’t know that about his last match. When that ref said that to him, I was in complete utter shock that they really didn’t care at all. It made me see a whole new light and respect for him that he to deal with this terrible company so he could please the fans. CM Punk, no matter if you hate him or love him, you have to respect him.

[@ScotisticDad]

Cena vs Punk on Raw was so good.

[@shyguyworks]

CM Punk is largely responsible for a lot of former WWE fans tuning back to the program in 2011. And I don't think that can be disputed.

[@Kylian-iw3rv]

Yes it can. More people were tuned in for the R Truth vs John Cena program. Summerslam 2010 drew more ppv buys than Summerslam 2011 built around Punk. This idea that Punk brought fans back is complete BS.

[@Essu_]

I came back in 2011 because of the Rock hosting WM 27, plus him vs John Cena storyline, so...

[@badgoodboy9437]

@@Kylian-iw3rv Why don’t you compare the MITB 2011 and the MITB 2010,boy. Who gives a fuck about what happened in SL 2010 and SL 2011? Everybody remember what happened in MITB 2011,forever.

[@MichaelMurphy-Downey]

It really sucks that he left Wwe in 2014 but I’ve always been in cm punk’s side when it came to that situation he put his body through hell and wrestled injured all the time and was still not main eventing show line he should have I could imagine what would have happened if he never left that year and Wwe actually giving him the rest he needs

[@mattcaporuscio6956]

Well it was a Monday night Raw in Cleveland that CM Punk left and ironically enough that is where Raw will be tonight when this video is uploaded.

[@AlexGledhill237]

At a live event in the UK in November 2011 half of the audience stood up when Cena made his entrance. The entire audience stood up when Punk made his entrance. It speaks volumes as to the popularity of Punk during that era (2011-2013).

[@ztm999]

I was checked out’ve Raw and SmackDown by the time Punk left as a kid only watching Mania and maybe the rumble. But holy shit, I’ll never understand why they did him so dirty. He’s genuinely a once in a lifetime wrestler, he should’ve been looked at as a living legend like Cena. I don’t really think he was ever looked at as on Cena’s level by WWE. I’m cherishing the level of respect he’s being given (onscreen) by AEW. That guy is genuinely a wrestling legend, he’s getting his roses while he can still smell them.

[@pleaseshutup7053]

Vince was in love with the part time guys

[@ShiningJudgment666]

Because he didn't fit the look of a top WWE guy and I don't think Triple H liked him.

[@stevenbryant8160]

Wow done dirty by giving a world for 434 days and having him in the ring with some of the biggest wrestlers ever I love punk but damn he was in a very high position enough was never enough for him

Now CM Punk is Back 🎉

[@crimsonfire6932]

I didn’t realize that punk was concussed at the rumble, and that WWE’s response to get him out of it was to have Kane choke slam him through the announce table. That’s a very dangerous guy for a dude that’s already concussed because you risk the guy hitting the back of his head on the table or the floor in a whiplash. I can see why he didn’t want to work there anymore. That rumble is of special significance in my eyes, in a negative way, because of what happened with punk. Punk put in 49 minutes, that’s a very impressive royal rumble stat, just shy of Benoit and mysterio level. Honestly I was hoping he would win that rumble. And dang he seemingly came close while watching the match before being unceremoniously dumped out by Kane.

[@yaboinaji12]

Im a big CM Punk fan from prime days until now he went through hell and back with the WWE but im glad he came AEW and back im proud of him hes great on the mic and in ring he truly is the best in the world since day one🤙🔥💯

[@isaacs.9383]

One of the biggest L’s is not getting a follow up big match between Lesnar and Punk. That should’ve been built all the way until Mania.

[@SaulAguilar.]

Paul heyman said Brock wanted to do a rematch at wm 30 but Vince had other plans. Basically it would’ve been Brock vs Roman at wm 38 and the whole storyline leading up to it.

[@emiliogurule7249]

I just wish they made it a triple threat with cena punk and rock at wrestlemania it would’ve satisfied everyone

[@ahmednawaf7102]

Yes, exactly, and that too the wrestlemania 28's once in a lifetime would hv some meaning. And triple threat would be a win win for everyone.

I feel like 1 thing that opened up about Punk not main eventing is that it opened up managements eyes over the lack of WM Main eventers on their roster. Since then Daniel Bryan, Roman Reigns, Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, Aj Styles, Drew Mcintyre, Bianca Belair, Sasha Banks, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, The Usos, and Cody Rhodes have headlined the show. Could this be more? Yes but it’s an improvement over how it used to be.
