10 Reversed WWE Title Changes
Not every WWE title change is permanent
1. John Cena - WWE Championship (2012)
CM Punk was in the midst of the then-longest WWE Title reign of the modern era when he put the strap on the line against his perennial rival at Night of Champions.
It’s John Cena and CM Punk in a pay-per-view main event, so you knew the quality of the action was going to be of the highest standard. Like most of their meetings, there was also a genuine sense that either man could win, something heightened by Cena’s Money in the Bank cash-in failure, the fact that Punk had held the title for so long, and the show was taking place in Boston.
After a whole host of kickouts and close calls, it came down to Cena delivering a rare top-rope German suplex for the apparent win. Not so fast, though, as Cena’s shoulders were also down when the official counted the 1-2-3 and the match was ruled a draw.
