2. John Cena Vs. CM Punk – Raw (2/25/13)
Raw’s February 25, 2013 episode of Raw was CM Punk’s last chance saloon on achieving his dream of main eventing WrestleMania. The Voice of the Voiceless dropped the WWE Championship to The Rock at the 2013 Royal Rumble, but failed to win it back in their rematch at Elimination Chamber 2013. However, Punk attempted to take Cena’s 2013 Royal Rumble match-winning title opportunity away from him in their number one contender’s match.
Arguably, Cena and Punk contested the greatest match in the history of Raw. A big fight feel as expected, and neither man was leaving anything to chance. Punk was desperate and connected with a piledriver, which had been banned in recent years. Even Cena upped it another gear by executing a rare hurricanrana. Inevitably, a Cena vs. Rock II match was on the cards in the main event of WrestleMania 29, with Punk’s dreams extinguished by Cena.
