Phil Brooks, or CM Punk as we know him in the squared circle, is one star that every WWE fan wants to see a return of and his clash against Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam in 2013 was billed as "The Beast vs The Best in the World".
The background of the clash had Paul Heyman play a huge part as he cost Punk the Money in the Bank ladder match as his "best friend" attacked him.

Lesnar then took Punk to town in the upcoming weeks before clashing in a No DQ match at the pay-per-view, which The Straight Edge Superstar lost.
Punk faced the brunt of the F-5 as he took it on a steel chair and the former WWE superstar was in awe of the sheer poetry of the move.
"Brock Lesnar's F-5 was a hold that managed to be devastating but almost graceful at the same time."
