Five WWE superstars CM Punk has never defeated
In the pulse-pounding world of WWE, rivalries are etched in the memories of fans, and one name that resonates in this storied tapestry is CM Punk, the self-proclaimed ‘Best in the World.’ However, amid the triumphs and accolades, there lies a collection of adversaries whom Punk has yet to conquer. These are the unfinished chapters, the battles still awaiting resolution as CM Punk embarks on a new chapter in WWE.
5. Shawn Michaels:
Shawn Michaels, the Heartbreak Kid, and CM Punk clashed in tag team matches, but the dream of a solo victory against the iconic Michaels has remained elusive for Punk. The pinnacle of this rivalry unfolded during Friday Night SmackDown’s episode 528, where Michaels, alongside Triple H, The Undertaker, and John Cena, formed a dream team to triumph over Punk and Legacy. The 22 minutes of pure intensity showcased outstanding performances but left Punk yearning for a one-on-one victory over the legendary Michaels.
4. Brock Lesnar:
The clash between Punk and Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2013 was nothing short of a dream match. However, Lesnar emerged victorious, leaving Punk with a 1-0 deficit against the Beast Incarnate. As Lesnar is scheduled to make a WWE return in 2024, the anticipation for a renewed rivalry intensifies. With Punk eyeing a world title in his current WWE run, the potential for a championship showdown promises to be a must-watch, a clash that could redefine legacies.
3. The Rock:
In Royal Rumble 2013, CM Punk faced off against Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for the WWE Championship, marking the end of Punk’s record-breaking 434-day reign. The Rock’s victory, after more than a decade, solidified his status as a legend. While the defeat ended Punk’s remarkable title run, it did not diminish his legacy. As fans ponder whether another championship reign is in Punk’s future, the clash with The Rock remains a pivotal moment in Punk’s storied career.
2. Triple H:
Triple H, the cerebral Assassin, holds a 2-0 lead over CM Punk from their encounters during Punk’s initial WWE run. Victories on an episode of SmackDown in 2010 and Night of Champions in 2011 established Triple H’s dominance. With Punk’s return to WWE and Triple H now serving as the Chief Content Officer, their dynamic has evolved beyond the ring. As Punk looks to carve a new path, the unresolved business with Triple H adds layers to their potential future clashes.
1. Roman Reigns:
A lone encounter in 2014 saw Roman Reigns emerging victorious over CM Punk on an episode of RAW. Reigns, then a rookie, proved his mettle against the former WWE Champion. Fast forward to the present, with Punk’s return and Reigns reigning as the Undisputed Universal Champion, speculation runs rampant about their inevitable confrontation. The clash promises to be a battle for the ages, with Punk seeking redemption against the face of WWE.
Conclusion
As CM Punk steps back into the limelight in WWE, these unfinished chapters stand as testaments to his resilience and determination. The echoes of past defeats serve as fuel for Punk’s resurgence, and the wrestling world eagerly anticipates the unfolding saga. Michaels, Lesnar, The Rock, Triple H, and Reigns represent the uncharted territories Punk is poised to conquer, promising fans a riveting journey as he seeks to rewrite history and solidify his legacy as the true ‘Best in the World.’ The stage is set, and the anticipation is palpable for the chapters yet to be written in this epic tale of redemption.
