Capitol Punishment is severely underrated

#3 Punk's beginnings

Punk’s win over Mysterio was only the beginning

When it was announced that CM Punk would face Rey Mysterio at Capitol Punishment, people were relatively excited about it.

They'd had numerous good matches in the past and possessed a great chemistry together, but for the most part, it was just another bout on the card. That was, until, Punk's pre-match promo started to get people talking.

Punk hinted that after defeating Rey he would go on to do something big, with members of the WWE Universe questioning exactly what it may be.

Of course, as we all know now it was the legendary Summer of Punk angle, and the fact that the seeds were planted here shows that WWE have the potential to book storylines in a smart way. This was subtle but important enough to the point where the internet couldn't stop talking about it.

Onto another superstar's supposed rise in the company.
