#3. John Cena vs. CM Punk at WWE Money in the Bank 2011

Now we move on to this WWE classic that got everybody talking. Moving on from previous slides filled with tears of joy and sadness, this one brought out plenty of elation. It was a wild night in Chicago, as CM Punk challenged John Cena for the WWE Championship.

In the storyline, CM Punk's contract was due to expire. He vowed he would defeat John Cena and take the WWE Championship with him. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wasn't going to let that happen, surely? Well, the night fell upon us as the hometown crowd began cheering for their hero.

Punk was given a hero's welcome as he made his entrance. Cena was treated like the pantomime villain. There was only one person the WWE Universe in attendance wanted to see win.

Even after interference from Vince McMahon and John Laurinaitis, Punk clinched the win and sent the Chicago fans into ecstacy. He'd done it. He really took the WWE Championship with him and blew McMahon a kiss as he leaped over the barricade. What a moment. What a night.
