3 Best CM Punk Matches

#1 CM Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler: Royal Rumble 2012

CM Punk headed into the 2012 Royal Rumble PPV as the WWE Champion, and walked out with his title intact. The odds were stacked against Punk at the event, however, The Second City Savior prevailed nonetheless.

Punk and Ziggler put on what some believe to be one of the best technical wrestling matches of the PG era at the aforementioned event--engaging in a series of beautiful chain-wrestling maneuvers in their battle over the WWE Championship. Furthermore, with authority figure John Laurinaitis as the enforcer for the match, Punk had to ensure that he'd completely broken down Ziggler, in order to emerge victorious.

In the end, after a grueling back-and-forth contest, Punk delivered a second Go-To-Sleep to Ziggler and defeated the latter by way of pinfall--successfully retaining the WWE Championship.
