10 Biggest WWE Money In The Bank Surprises
Returns, cash-ins and improbable winners, oh my!
4. The Devilish Advocate
Though Paul Heyman turning on CM Punk was inevitable, the manner in which it happened certainly caught WWE fans by surprise.
They had teased dissension since Punk's comeback at Payback, which came a couple of months after Punk (accompanied by Heyman) lost to The Undertaker at WrestleMania 29.
While the Straight-Edge Superstar and his manager had been one of the top heel acts in the company for the better part of a year, Punk was beloved and came back as a babyface, which is where the trouble began.
With a natural conclusion being Punk going up against Heyman's other charge, Brock Lesnar, the split was bound to happen, but could (and should) have been drawn out until the Royal Rumble or, perhaps, WrestleMania.
Instead, WWE rushed things (quelle surprise) and had Heyman turn on Punk at Money in the Bank, preventing him from climbing the ladder and retrieving the prize above before slamming a ladder right into his head for good measure.
It had been coming, yes, but it still happened sooner than most thought and, judging by the reaction, certainly caught those in the arena off guard that night.
