June 27, 2011. WWE Raw. Las Vegas, Nevada.

After R-Truth defeated WWE Champion John Cena in a Tables match, CM Punk walked onto the stage, sat cross-legged at the top of the ramp, and delivered the promo that became known as the Pipe Bomb.

He opened with: “John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.”

He went on to call himself the best in the world, criticize Vince McMahon and the way WWE was run, reference Paul Heyman, Colt Cabana, and Brock Lesnar leaving the company, and address his contract expiring after Money in the Bank. WWE cut his microphone as he reached the end.

The promo made CM Punk a main event star overnight and led directly to one of the most anticipated matches of the modern era at Money in the Bank in his hometown of Chicago.
