So here’s the final average score on CM Punk’s career considering every PPV match plus some TV matches. A career full of ups and downs as you can see in my results above, with the quality of his matches mostly being a consequence of storylines and the time he had than anything else.

He came a long way from his short matches on PPV in 2006/07 as a member of the ECW roster, having some classics later on with the likes of Jeff Hardy, John Cena, Brock Lesnar, The Rock, Undertaker, Chris Jericho and others, to his battles with names such as Drew McIntyre and Seth Rollins in his second WWE run.
