INTERNET's GOOD! I'm hyped now because it won't cause me to deviate from my original plans. Month is gonna be filled with some good content including Rated RKO. Regarding this feud, I'm gonna continue the story with Del Rio next week in order to fill the gaps. I enjoyed making it and I hope you guys find some enjoyment in it aswell. What did you guys think of this feud?

[@guillermosierracuellar9812]

It’s kinda funny that cena Attacked Punk just because Punk said that Cena was the New York Yankees

[@anesseameer]

A lowkey underated match they had was on raw 2013 i recommend people watch it

Yo could you please do a vid on the jeff hardy heel run from TNA in 2010

[@stepkickking9868]

To this day, I still think Punk and Cena were each other’s greatest rivals, and absolutely brought the best out of each other. They’re the Austin and Rock of their time. Opposites really do attract.

[@Thunderbolt210]

yea i highly disagree as theres a guy named edge that wants you to put some respect on his fueds with cena

[@muffyboi12]

Randy Orton would like to speak with you

[@RevengerPhoenix]

Punk and Cena got the first 5 star match of WWE in a long time. That’s how big their rivalry was. Orton and Edge as Cena’s opponent were awesome, but Punk was definitely a special opponent for Cena.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Tell Edge, Orton and anyone else to get in line behind Punk and shut the f up. Punk-Cena was the feud that defined the last decade. Easily Cena’s greatest rival. The magic they created is unmatched to this day. PERIOD.

[@Thunderbolt210]

Jeff Pryce just because you say it with attitude and the sass of 20 year old women doesn’t make it right. Cena two biggest fueds in his career are Randy Orton. and edge both of which set him up to be the face of the company. The cm punk feud was well done, and super good, but it was less than 6 months and punk was out the wwe a year and half later. It didn’t define shit for cena or his legacy other than give him 1 5 star match which eh already had gotten with facing michaels at wrestlemania. people just like the feud so they think it’s greater than it really was. The crux of that feud had the rock main event in the back ground of it lol. Like while fueding with cena we all knew the end game was the rock/. As a matter of fact when punk went on his streak of holding the title he fought cena one more time during that. Cena had 4 matches with orton during that span like go sit down somewhere lol.

[@larshetfield2156]

Underrated opinion: These two should've main evented Wrestlemania 29, it would've been one of the most satisfying ends to a feud of that era.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Absolutely. This should have been the main event of that Wrestlemania without question. Or at the very least, make it a Cena-Punk-Rock triple threat. Punk had earned that match, and instead he became the last guy to have to carry an aging Undertaker before Brock ended the streak. If they had just given Punk his due, he would have never left.

[@ChristianBritez34]

He should’ve definitely be included in that main event, that Wm 29 main event should’ve been a triple threat match

[@rashidbinzamanshaan5841]

True that. That Raw match should've happened at Wrestlemania 29. Cena winning and ending Punk's title reign and finally beating him would've been satisfying

[@rochitgurung9090]

[@demiayan7779]

Lol that’s mad disrespectful I wish a mf would call me the New York Yankees but seriously tho the real reason he punched him because John saw the truth in what punk said and he also disrespected his hometown and basically everything he stood for. Then again who wouldn’t punch cm punk in his smug ass mouth 😂

vince dropped the ball by making him comeback like a week after. shouldve jus moved on so we “forget” that hes gone. n that return wouldve been gold

[@thehoshangkoul]

CM Punk was on GOD level during his 2011-2014 run. HE was cooking everyone on the mic, including the likes of John cena rock and hhh It's a shame we never got that punk vs cena vs rock main event at wrestlemania 29. That would've been legendary

[@pogmaster_z]

In my opinion, no because CENA vs rock 2 should have never happened, at least not at wrestlemania

[@pogmaster_z]

It was special cause it was “once in a life time”

[@jamieholmes4751]

Controversial opinion: John Cena/CM Punk’s best match ever against each other was on an episode of RAW where I think the winner would face The Rock at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship Both have great chemistry with each other and CM Punk even hit a piledriver (which I think was banned at the time) which fit in well with his rebel character 😃😃😃

[@wrestlingspremier]

I'll never forget watching that match for the first time. Magical stuff.

[@imjoker2823]

A lot have said that their match should have taken place at Wrestlemania that year after their performance. I personally would have preferred a triple threat match where Cena would win by pinning The Rock redeeming himself from the previous year.

[@wrestlingspremier]

Yeah they should've went with the Triple Threat. But I guess they feared it wouldn't draw as well as a singles match.

[@DaDualityofMan]

I stopped watching wrestling from 2009-2013, watching WWE again I hated almost everything I saw at that time, but that match really made me remember why I grew up loving it so much in the first place

[@ChannelyChannel]

Ah the infamous piledriver match

[@ashleyburchettajleefanlove4683]

Five star match at Money in the bank best match of the decade in my opinion this match had everything that wrestling matches are missing nowadays I love this rivalry

[@imjoker2823]

I remembered people complaining that R-Truth should have beaten Cena at Capital Punishment that year but if that would have happened, the whole Cm Punk storyline wouldn't have worked at all.

[@wrestlingspremier]

I do think that Truth should've won it but like you said, The CM Punk story wouldn't work.

[@GrtSage]

I think they should’ve treated the Awesome Truth as credible threats to the world title instead of getting destroyed by Rock and Cena. That way Summer of Punk still happens but during Punks Title reign he has more threats to the title.

[@Vibe1610]

This feud was awesome. Made my favorite match of all time happen (Punk vs Cena MITB). Punk is for sure one of Cena’s best rivals.

[@wrestlingspremier]

They're the perfect pairing. Even their weakest matches were great.

[@hothotheat3000]

The only thing that I am disappointed by is that they never headlined WrestleMania with this feud. The only time I remotely cared about Cena is when he was paired with Punk. They brought out the best in each other.

[@yurinoworry]

I was a 12 or 13 year old kid when this happened. Big Cena fan at the time from my childhood. Became a Punk fan during this feud and it opened my eyes not only to just be a fan of more than the “clean cut” faces, but also all types of wrestling, first through ROH, and then through all kinds of indie wrestling! This feud felt perfectly made for me, as I transitioned from being a young wholesome kid, into a still young, slightly edgier teenager.

[@stepkickking9868]

I’m pretty sure Punk responded to Miz the way he did because Mike continually trash talked Punk for 5+ years after he left. I guess that Backstage think was the final straw for Punk.

[@Jeff_Pryce]

Plus Punk never really respected Miz. He administered as much back in 2011, he told Miz straight up that they were probably never going to get along. It’s that reality show thing, I think. Punk came up the hard way busting his ass in the independent scene, while Miz was some dude on “The Real World” who just came in to WWE on a whim. And he wrestles a softer style than Punk, so that probably doesn’t sit well with Punk.

[@JungleBunkRootsMusic2022]

@@Jeff_Pryce Tbf, the miz busted his ass too. He was bullied in the locker room by Benoit, jbl etc and had to change in the toilets for months. It took him years to earn the respect of his peers and the fans. Not to mention if wrestling soft means the miz continues to wrestle for 10+ years without injury, then it's a smart decision. .

[@night6724]

@@mortalgame6583 i mean yeah. Not only was (and somewhat still) bullying common for new guys but Miz was a reality show guy who was seen as soft.

They should have let Rey hold the title until summerslam then do all the same stuff at night of champions. Imagine having Punk walk out at summerslam instead of Raw... He could've still been doing indie tours and other things.... An undisputed championship match at night of champions? Writes itself imo. And it would have been nice to give Rey a bit of shine with the belt. Could've still done all the same stuff and stretched this story out more. But they blew their load early.

[@night6724]

but why would wwe let a guy who’s red hot leave for a month? I’m also assuming WWE would’ve already signed CM Punk’s extension but allowed him to go to RoH but still Vince is protective of the WWE brand for a reason
