00:00 Back in 2011, John Cena was the face that runs the place, but while the kids were throwing

00:03 up the "You Can't See Me" hand sign, the discerning wrestling fan was going, "What

00:06 do you mean?

00:07 He's literally everywhere.

00:08 You can't move for Cena."

00:09 They wanted someone to represent them, someone whose t-shirts didn't look like unicorn vomit,

00:12 someone who wasn't being forced down their throats.

00:14 Hardcore fans felt like their voices weren't being heard because even the overwhelming

00:17 chants of "Cena sucks" fell on deaf ears at WWE.

00:20 Enter the voice of the voiceless to drop pipe bombs, rouse the rabble, and give fans hope,

00:24 CM Punk, the spirit animal of many angry WWE fans.

00:27 The result, an epic feud between two polar opposites, the hero vs. the anti-hero.

00:32 This was wrestling Batman vs. Superman and so much better than the movie.

00:35 This is Fats Feud, Punk vs. Cena.

00:37 In 2006, WWE laid some accidental groundwork by casting CM Punk as an extra for Cena's

00:42 WrestleMania 22 entrance.

00:43 Punk was a Tommy Gunn toting mobster riding in Cena's gang.

00:46 Fast forward to June 2011 and CM Punk had dropped the Dillinger Act, become a name in

00:49 its own right, and was winding down his storyline with the New Nexus, while WWE Champion Cena

00:53 was battling with R-Truth and all his little jimmies.

00:55 It would be Raw guest host Stone Cold Steve Austin who would stomp his authority on proceedings

00:59 pitting Punk against Cena.

01:01 And with little help from Truth, Punk pinned Cena but he would have to overcome Rey Mysterio

01:04 at the one-off pay-per-view, capital punishment, and Alberto Del Rio in a number one contendership

01:09 battle all within a week to actually earn his shot at the WWE Championship.

01:13 Why anyone would want that spinner belt, let alone go through all that just to get it is

01:16 beyond me.

01:17 Meanwhile, Cena set Truth free from the feud in a match that really put the punishment in

01:20 capital punishment because it was hard to watch.

01:22 But that did mean Cena's check was cleared for Money in the Bank in July.

01:26 A couple weeks before the show, CM Punk would drop the first bombshell of the feud.

01:29 Not only was Money in the Bank where he would go after the title, it was the night his contract

01:32 expired.

01:33 Ooh, drama.

01:34 This sent the fans spinning like, well, you can guess, spinner belt.

01:37 Punk was their guy, the one they wanted to lead the company into the future.

01:39 But then again, him walking out with the belt would be the ultimate middle finger to a company

01:43 that never listened to its fans.

01:44 The clash was set and it would all be decided at Money in the Bank.

01:47 But the build was also an embarrassment of riches.

01:49 It had Punk vs McMahon, Vince vs Cena, WWE vs its fans, Johnny Ace vs the concept of

01:53 charisma.

01:54 Would CM Punk finally prove he was better than John Cena?

01:56 Could a tattooed, straight-edged, counterculture, nonconformist who made a name for himself

02:00 on the indies and was the star Vince never wanted beat the muscled up, clean cut, aw

02:04 shucks PG, chosen one and company man John Cena?

02:07 If Punk won, what would WWE do without a champion?

02:10 If Cena won, what would America do without a Chicago?

02:12 As if this wasn't enough, the feud would be launched into the stratosphere when CM

02:15 Punk broke the fourth wall and cut the pipe bomb heard around the world and all of YouTube.

02:19 Hey, Coke Cabana.

02:20 Heading into the match, CM Punk was so confident he was a better wrestler than John Cena, he

02:23 couldn't see himself losing.

02:25 Vince McMahon also seemed to agree and tried to call the whole thing off.

02:27 But good boy John Cena wouldn't allow it.

02:29 So after a confrontation, McMahon kept the match but threatened to fire Cena if he lost.

02:33 At Money in the Bank, CM Punk and Cena battled it out.

02:35 Punk was surprised that he couldn't just drop Cena as effortlessly as he dropped pipe

02:38 bombs.

02:39 McMahon, not one to take chances, tried to screw Punk with the help of John Laurinaitis,

02:42 but Super John wouldn't allow it.

02:43 In the end, Punk would put Cena to sleep and leave the WWE with the championship.

02:47 McMahon was furious.

02:48 The Chicago crowd was in full voice.

02:50 Fans were ecstatic.

02:51 So was Dave Meltzer.

02:52 He actually gave a John Cena match five stars and it didn't even happen in the Tokyo Dome.

02:55 On the next Raw, McMahon was all set to fire John Cena, but Triple H took over for Vince.

02:59 Trips tried to act conflicted, but we've seen him try to act before.

03:01 Ahem, the chaperone.

03:02 Ahem.

03:03 By the end of the night, Cena was champ again.

03:05 Fans clamored to see Punk show up at all the places he promised like ROH and the indies,

03:08 though he did make one appearance at a Comic Con.

03:10 His hiatus was short-lived.

03:11 Next thing you knew, Punk popped back up.

03:13 After just two weeks, another opportunity wasted.

03:15 Cena and Punk would battle at SummerSlam.

03:17 Both men brought their own titles, but neither would walk out with one.

03:20 Because though Punk won the match, it was Alberto Del Rio who would invest his money

03:23 in the bank free pace wisely and walk out as WWE Champion.

03:26 Such good sh*t, right?

03:28 Because while Del Rio may have cashed in, WWE didn't.

03:30 If WWE had just allowed Punk to miss SummerSlam and focus on a long-term build to WrestleMania,

03:33 this could have been one of the best feuds in the history of WWE.

03:36 Instead of a long-term epic, we got a short-term success.

03:39 But you can't take away that the hot build to money in the bank, the infamous pipe bomb

03:42 promo, one of the best matches in WWE history, and the fact that CM Punk actually took down

03:46 Cena and McMahon for the fans make this one one of the most meta and magnetic feuds in

03:50 recent WWE.
