“I think it’s easy to pick number one, it’s me and John Cena from Houston before WrestleMania,” Punk said. “It was a Monday Night Raw. I think easily our best televised match, maybe we would have had better matches on house shows, I don’t know. But this is also my flu match. I was sick, and boy was I sick and tired at the time So it’s like the essence of CM Punk at the time, hurt, tired, angry, chip on the shoulder, me and John went out there, it was just planets aligned and it was magic.

“If I could ever say I had a perfect pairing, that would probably be it. I’m talking about the lead, the story, the character stuff for both guys, the action, the crowd, being able to manipulate the crowd the way you want, listening to them, like everything.” .

On the episode of Raw that Punk talked about, he and Cena wrestled a championship match at WrestleMania against The Rock on the line. Punk and Cena have had a storied rivalry together, including wrestling together in a main event at Summerslam and a classic match in Chicago at Money in the Bank.

All three of the main matches he mentioned took place in the last year of his first WWE run. Punk left the company after the Royal Rumble in 2014. He returned to WWE at Survivor Series last year.

This week on Raw, Punk said he was going home with his wife and dog to figure out his next move in WWE. At the Bad Blood PLE, Punk defeated Drew McIntyre in Hell in a Cell.
