That visual package begins with aerial shots of Las Vegas, before finally panning on Allegiant Stadium. An overhead shot shows Punk on the roof with his then-World Heavyweight Championship. The promo includes pictures of his indie days and his early days in WWE, including the huge moments. All this while Miseria Cantare played in the background, even as the Second City Saint made his way from the gorilla position to the ramp. Then, just before his entrance for the match itself, Cult of Personality hit.

CM Punk has 4 five-star matches in his wrestling career

In pro-wrestling, star ratings from Wrestling Observer Radio‘s Dave Meltzer are considered the gold standard for a match. CM Punk has managed to deliver four five-star matches in his career, three while in WWE and one when he was in ROH.

The second match between Punk and Samoa Joe in ROH on October 16, 2004, received five stars from Meltzer. It was the first five-star match for both stars and even the promotion. Punk’s classic match with John Cena at Money in the Bank for the WWE Championship on July 17, 2011, was also given a five-star rating. This was Cena’s first five-star match and the promotion’s first in over 14 years.

Back in 2024, during CM Punk’s WWE return run, his brutal battle with Drew McIntyre inside Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood deservedly earned a five-star rating, too. The latest one to get rated five stars is his WrestleMania Night 2 bout against Roman Reigns.
