10 Best CM Punk Matches In WWE

6. Vs. Chris Jericho - Extreme Rules 2012

Extreme Rules 2012 was a sensational pay-per-view presentation, with all four rematches from the prior month's WrestleMania exceeding the original. 

That included Chris Jericho and CM Punk's WWE Title meeting, which was fought under Street Fight Rules.

Make that Chicago Street Fight rules, as this was another bout between the two stalwarts that took place in Punk's hometown. Once more, the partisan crowd infinitely helped things, as they were red-hot for everything their man did. 

A very different affair to their 'Mania outing, Punk and Jericho's rivalry had escalated to the point that violence was required. The two went hell for leather, beating each other up with anything that wasn't nailed down while finding inventive way to work with the weaponry. 

There was also some great sports entertainment storyline touches here, with the inclusion of Punk's sister Chaleen and other assorted family and friends at ringside, as well as Jericho trying to give his drug-free opponent a mid-match beer bath. 

They went long (25 minutes) but the match never outstayed its welcome and built beautifully until Punk hit the GTS to retain his title.
