Another masterstroke by the WWE creative team when they turned the real-life contract negotiations of CM Punk into a storyline in 2011.

CM Punk faced John Cena for the WWE Championship in Punk's hometown of Chicago and walked out as the WWE Champion, leaving the company with the title on his shoulders.

The WWE Universe didn't know what would the future hold for the Championship, but Punk made his comeback a bit sooner than expected and continued his feud with John Cena. The look on Vince McMahon's face when Punk walked out of the Chicago arena with the WWE Championship was priceless.

One of the best promos in the history of the WWE took place three weeks prior to Punk's match with John Cena, where he left with the WWE Championship. CM Punk was wearing a Stone Cold Steve Austin T-shirt on the epic night which changed CM Punk's WWE career forever.

He started venting out his frustration in a way in which the WWE Universe was left wondering whether it was a real or a scripted promo. CM Punk became a household name after this promo as he went on a rant for six minutes. Everything he said was plausible for each and every wrestling fan. CM Punk hasn't looked back after leaving the WWE, but if he ever makes a comeback to the WWE ring, it would be another epic moment for the WWE Universe.
