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.
