About “The “Pipe Bomb””

A historic promo dubbed as CM Punk’s “Pipe Bomb” for the WWE, which is one of the highlights of CM Punk’s already impressive career.

This worked shoot took place on June 27th 2011, and discussed topics such as the WWE’s use of Punk as performer, backstage politics and who is the best in the business, as well as topics not normally discussed, such as outside perfomers like Brock Lesnar and Hulk Hogan, and other companies, such as ROH and NJPW.

The central message is that Punk wanted change in the company. He states that his contract would end on July 17th 2011, the night of the Money in the Bank PPV in his hometown of Chicago. Punk went on to beat John Cena to win the WWE Championship and leave the company with it. Not illegally, it was a work, and Punk was resigned to a contract. But this still remains one of the highlights of the career of CM Punk.
