CM Punk celebrates his historic win in his Chicago hometown

CM Punk defeats John Cena to become the NEW WWE Champion

In retrospect, one might imagine that despite its foundation-shaking moments, CM Punk's eventual win might not really be a big deal.

Did WWE make a big mistake signing these wrestlers? Check Here!

After all, Punk returned pretty swiftly and lost the title just as quick. More importantly after a history-making second and secondary run with the title, Punk quit the WWE in rage.

In retaliation, SHIELD's rise to power defines this era of WWE. Yet still, this moment remains untouchable simply because if it weren't for Punk's defiance against the system, WWE may never have changed its ways of seeing the future of pro wrestling.

The moment itself, of course, is iconic as well, the image of Punk kissing Vince McMahon goodbye with the title in hand is definitive of the history-making PPV.

On that night in Chicago, Bryan launched his run to the top with a briefcase win, Christian finally won the world title for a lengthier reign and Punk conquered all. It's pitch perfect and isn't topped, defining Money in the Bank as the fifth event in the Big Four!
