1. CM Punk

Last Month’s Ranking: No. 2

Last Month’s Segments: Week after week leading up to Bad Blood, Punk continuously told us that he would do anything to defeat McIntyre. In one episode of Raw, he stated his family tried to talk him out of stepping inside Hell in a Cell, and not even they could stop him. After a while, the promos did become a tad repetitive. Nevertheless, fans were looking forward to the conclusion of this feud.

Bad Blood Performance: Being a marquee performer at any show is no easy task. Punk is no stranger to this position, and he went above and beyond to prove he can still entertain at a high level. The “Chicago Made” Punk delivered a ton of kicks and strikes that all connected, ending with a very clean-looking “Go to Sleep” on a bloody and prone McIntyre–with a chain wrapped around his knee, no less. Hell in a Cell requires an extreme amount of violence, and Punk delivered that tenfold. To loosely quote the live crowd in attendance, “This was awesome.”
