10 Of The Biggest WWE Pops Ever
10 of the biggest pops in WWE history
3. CM Punk in Chicago - Money in the Bank 2011
CM Punk got everyone’s attention with his industry-rattling pipebomb promo on Raw in 2011, where he verbally ran down everyone from John Cena to John Laurinaitis to Vince McMahon himself.
This came whilst he was building to a WWE Championship match with Cena, set to go down at Money in the Bank. When Punk arrived in his hometown of Chicago, he was treated like a hero. To this crowd, Punk represented anti-establishment, he represented change, he represented hope that the stale, sterilised Cena-led era of WWE was heading for the bin.
These people didn’t just want him to win, they needed it. Throughout the whole match the crowd were on fire, but nothing that night could top his entrance.
