During his rise to WWE Champion, CM Punk blasted the WWE establishment every step of the way. Even the very McMahon family name was not safe from his verbal barbs. His blistering and often shocking criticisms created a buzz that had not been seen in the WWE Universe in quite some time. The Second City Saint proved he could achieve success by doing things his way.
But is The Straightedge Superstar really the best in the world at what he does? Not if you ask Chris Jericho, who will face Punk on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
Certainly Jericho presents one of Punks greatest challenges to date. The recently returned Superstar has 22 championships to his credit 30 if you include his title wins in WCW and ECW.
On top of his accomplished resume, Jericho brings a fire within that perhaps Punk has yet to encounter while defending the coveted WWE Championship. Not only is Jericho back in WWE, hes angry.
In the Raw Elimination Chamber Match, Punk knocked Jericho out with a kick to the back of the head, rendering him unable to compete any further in the match. And at the end of the night, Jericho delivered a scathing account of what went down in an exclusive backstage interview.
One day later still seething after what happened at Elimination Chamber Jericho earned the right to challenge Punk at WrestleMania after winning a 10-Man No. 1 Contender's Battle Royal on the Feb. 20 edition of Raw SuperShow. The match was arranged by none other than Punks favorite nemesis WWE EVP of Talent Relations and Interim Raw General Manger John Laurinaitis.
Will this latest power play by Laurinaitis finally be the one that helps dethrone Punk? Or, will The Second City Saint manage to yet again thwart Mr. Excitements best laid plans.
With both Punk and Jericho claiming to be the best in the world, theyll now get a chance to prove it at WrestleMania XXVIII. Regardless of who wins, the WWE Universe is sure to witness an epic confrontation on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
On April 1 in Miami, find out who earns the right to truly call himself the best in the world.
Of course, since the night Jericho's 1/2/12 vids started to air, many people, including myself, were predicting this match. And finally, one of the most anticipated matches in quite some time has finally been announced.
Awesome to see Punk come in as champ so he can hopefully add yet another notch to his belt as a top guy defeating a top heel to Jericho to prove he is the Best In The World. They've come up with a brilliant story saying that Jericho was never eliminated and he made up for his Rumble loss by winning last night's. Can't wait to see the promos between these two in anticipation.
