CM Punk vs. John Cena for the WWE Championship, from WWE Money In the Bank 2011

This, easily the best WWE pay-per-view main event outside the traditional big four (and better than most of the big four, come to think of it), wraps its yarn around maintaining the characterizations of all involved—Cena the noble hulking dumbass, Punk the conniving technician, and the various WWE personnel selling the company line as though their careers depend on it. It’s easy to get caught up in the drama, especially given the molten crowd, and the finish is the sort of thing WWE can pull off that no one else can. One of my favorite matches of all time.
