January: The Rock Ends Punk’s Reign
When The Rock came back and wanted to become WWE Champion once again, it rubbed many people the wrong way. I have always been a fan of Rock and will always be one but this was a big mistake on WWE’s end. With a WWE Championship reign lasting over 400 days, Punk should have been handled better than this. The elbow drop ended the reign? Really? A guy who was not around every week now held the most prestigious title in WWE. This was a mistake because WWE could have went “Title vs. Streak” and made Punk’s match against The Undertaker one you simply could not miss. Instead, The Rock ended an impressive streak and would drop the title a few months later.
