5 Times WWE Superstars disagreed with their match outcomes

#4 CM Punk (vs. The Rock, WWE Royal Rumble 2013)

CM Punk’s infamous appearance on Colt Cabana’s Art of Wrestling podcast gave a fascinating insight into the former WWE Champion’s thought process with regards to facing part-time Superstars.

One of his most interesting comments during the podcast came when he revealed that he questioned Vince McMahon about his series of defeats against three high-profile WWE names – The Rock, The Undertaker, and Brock Lesnar – in 2013.

Despite needing knee surgery, Punk said he felt like he needed to keep performing for WWE at the start of the year because he was involved in a heated rivalry with The Rock.

Vince McMahon had already settled on The Rock vs. John Cena again at WrestleMania 29, but Punk tried convincing him that it was not the right decision to switch the WWE Championship to The Rock at the Royal Rumble.

“I told Vince that, 'I need this knee fixed. I'll do it after I drop the title to Rock.' But I was still actively trying to convince him that dropping the title to Rock was not the right thing to do or that even if I did that, you know, a three-way with me, John and Rock was the way to go for WrestleMania.” [H/T Cageside Seats]

The Rock ended up winning the WWE Championship at the 2013 Royal Rumble before losing it to Cena at WrestleMania 29, while The Undertaker defeated Punk at the same event.
