5 WWE heels who have been cheered over babyfaces

<p>
John Cena and Roman Reigns have been the biggest part of this story

#1 CM Punk cheered over John Cena - 2011

Enter captio
CM Punk was the most cheered wrestler of 2011

This was simply incredible, CM Punk was cheered heavily over the face of the company John Cena, despite being a heel.

That was all because of the Pipebomb promo and the promos CM Punk used to cut over Vince McMahon, as well as leaving WWE with the WWE Championship after Money in the Bank.

The reaction CM Punk got was once in a lifetime, and in Chicago (CM Punk's hometown), during their Money in the Bank match, every fan was chanting CM Punk. No one was chanting Cena, and the crowd showed signs of "if Cena wins, we riot". They wrestled many times in 2011, but every time they faced each other, the fans were clearly behind CM Punk.

That's why they call CM Punk a once in a century wrestler who could wrestle and give you great matches. It was the first time the fans were that behind any heel wrestler in years, and it hasn't happened since then.
