Their Last (2013)

John Cena and CM Punk set the bar so high for their matches that each time they competed, you’d think it was their last. Like it was game 7, like their lives were on the line.

Little did they know, their bout on a February episode of Raw would indeed be their swan song—for the next 12 years, at least.

The contest determined who would go on to face The Rock in the main event of WrestleMania 29: Cena, the Royal Rumble winner, or Punk, who just lost his title.

The two dynamos followed the blueprint they created at Night of Champions for pulling off a five-star level match to perfection.

The Straight Edge Superstar reversed each of Cena’s five moves of doom, while John countered Punk’s various submission holds and GTS attempts. Cena landed a sit-down powerbomb, and Punk executed a piledriver (a legitimately banned move in the WWE).

In the end, it was a surprising hurricanrana and Attitude Adjustment combination that gave Cena the win.

The long-time rivals delivered another classic because, well, don’t they always?
