9 Greatest WWE promos of the past decade

#8 I came here tonight to tell you the story of a Paul Heyman Guy

Paul Heyman with a pipebomb of his own!

In 2014, as you know, CM Punk quit WWE the night after the Royal Rumble PPV. A week later, Monday Night Raw fell on the hometown of the straight edge Superstar, and the biggest question that aroused before the show was how will WWE handle the affair? So when the show opened with the entrance music of CM Punk, the crowd went absolutely bonkers, but out came Paul Heyman instead and the heat he generated that night was huge.

Paul Heyman sat in the ring in the same fashion CM Punk cut the historic "Pipebomb" promo and went on a rant about how the management never needed him since day one, and how Punk was the guy who had the balls to say what nobody else had the balls to say.

It was one of the most impeccable performance I have seen Heyman deliver. He ended up taking the jeers of the crowd and turned it into cheers while taking the CM Punk situation and blaming it on the fans. He marvellously turned the tirade and used it to promote the match between his client and The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, and the fans completely bought it. You can check it out here.
