CM Punk
CM Punk wrestles with a purpose. He’s out to prove that he truly is the Best in the World. The Money in the Bank Ladder Match gave The Straight Edge Superstar the boost he needed to reach the upper echelon of WWE and truly show what he was made of.
At WrestleMania XXIV, Punk evaded the high-flying ladder attacks of John Morrison, daredevil dives by Shelton Benjamins and the veteran know-how of Chris Jericho to win the bout. Punk successfully cashed in to win the World Heavyweight Title that June.
The following year, Punk was money at The 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania, once again scaling above the competition to claim the coveted contract. And just like the year prior, Punk was champion again by summer. Punk cashed in on Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules 2009, showing that he didn’t need luck to win the World Title, just the right opportunity.
