#3 CM Punk vs Chris Jericho
In 2012 – the year before our previous two entries – CM Punk and Chris Jericho embarked on one of the most personally charged feuds ever. They faced off twice – at Wrestlemania and Extreme Rules – and a babyface Punk won both encounters but the matches aren't why this feud makes this list.
The major reason is because of the intense promos which were being cut week after week in the build up to these matches. Not only were both men vying for the title of Best in the World, but Jericho also brought Punk's family into the equation.
He took shots at the fact that Punk's family members were known to be battling with drug and alcohol related issues and went on to state that Punk himself would never escape that stigma despite being straight edge. The kicker for this feud is Jericho forcing alcohol down Punk's throat and also breaking a bottle of whisky over his head.
Like I said, it was an emotionally charged feud.
