In his final years, CM Punk brought a revolution in WWE by dropping iconic pipe bombs and going up against WWE and Chairman Vince McMahon. He also featured in a number of incredible matches which went on to achieve iconic status. His Money in the Bank 2011 match against John Cena and SummerSlam 2013 match against Brock Lesnar is hailed as one of the best matches of the decade.
