CM Punk in WWE
The former WWE champion is considered to be one of the biggest superstars of this decade. He attracted fame and fans to himself with his pipebomb promo where he criticized WWE and its owner Vince McMahon on an episode of WWE RAW in 2011. In that year, he won the WWE Champion title against John Cena in a brilliant and memorable match at Money in the Bank. He kept the title for 434 days.
In 2014, CM Punk left WWE on a bad note and retired as a professional wrestler. However, on the November 12 episode of WWE Backstage, Punk shocked everyone by making a surprise appearance. It was announced later that he had joined the program as a special contributor and analyst.
