#3 The Summer of Punk gets cut short

This loss severely damaged the Chicago Made Superstar in 2011.

In 2011, there was not a single star hotter than CM Punk.

After cutting his scathing Pipebomb on RAW, Punk left the company with the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, in what many consider one of the greatest pay per views ever.

Sure, returning eight days later didn't help, but Punk was still a top star when he rolled into his Night of Champions match against Triple H.

What seemed like an obvious win for the Chicago Made Superstar, quickly turned sour as the Game pinned Punk, killing his momentum.

Even though Punk would begin his legendary 434 day WWE title reign a few months later, he was never seen as a top star again.

Even I (the biggest Triple H fan around), was left scratching my head at this horrendous booking decision.
