5. CM Punk vs. The Undertaker – Wrestlemania 29
Heading into Wrestlemania 29, The Undertaker was 20-0 at the event. Punk, knowing the work he had cut out for himself pulled every heel tactic possible on Taker leading up to their match. The worst of his cringe-inducing actions was his mocking of the death of Paul Bearer and stealing his vaunted urn. This was heel hall of fame-worthy stuff. Absolutely brilliance from Punk.
The intensity of the hatred between the two men was evident in their Mania clash. Punk repeatedly insulted The Dead Man throughout with slaps and taunts and Taker fought back with some massive power moves. The back and forth of this match was unreal and it legitimately seemed like Punk was going to do the unthinkable. I could not believe that Taker kicked out after Punk drilled him with the urn.
But in the end, it was Taker moving to 21-0 at Mania but Punk proved that he was still very much in his prime. The two men saved a Wrestlemania that would of have been awful had their match not happened and reminded every wrestling fan that Punk deserved to be in the Mania main event that he was always promised and never got.
