1. CM Punk vs. John Cena
July 17, 2011
Our top pick was an obvious choice. The crowning achievement of his pro wrestling career, “Second City” native CM Punk walked into the All State Arena in Chicago, IL with his contract expiring, and walked out with the WWE Championship. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer gave the match five stars, the first time any WWE match had earned the distinction since 1997.
