Top 5 shocking WWE moments of the new era

#4 CM Punk drops the pipebomb

CM Punk spoke his heart out

One of the most talented performers in WWE history, CM Punk was the main attraction at that very time.

He was in the main event picture, winning the world championships and grabbing Money in the Bank briefcase, he did all of that. But the thing that made him frustrated was Mr McMahon's styles of handling of the superstars in WWE.

On June 27, 2011, on a live episode of Raw, he delivered a pipebomb on WWE that spared no one, so much so that the microphone's audio was cut off by WWE officials.

On that very episode, he called out Mr McMahon's daughter and son-in-law. Also, he criticised The Rock’s upcoming main-event booking at WrestleMania which was made prior to a year ago and proclaimed himself to be the 'best-in-the-world.'

Then he moves on to criticising the cheering fans and said they were part of the reason why he was leaving.

CM Punk was unhappy, he was frustrated, and he was ready to walk out the door. He was undoubtedly shooting on the biggest pro-wrestling promotion of all time, and he did it without hesitation while the whole world was watching.

The pipebomb shoot was a shocker that WWE allowed to happen, and it could not have come at a better time for Punk, or for the fans.
