Punk orchestrates a brutal Nexus initiation

Raw: Husky Harris accepts his "new" Nexus initiation

Raw: Jan. 10, 2011
As a leader in his Straight Edge Society, then The New Nexus, CM Punk had no qualms about dishing out pain and suffering to anyone who didn’t see things his way. In perhaps one of his most vicious moments, he and fellow Nexus members brutally welcomed in a new member with an initiation session that is painful just watching.

In another painful moment, Punk and his Straight Edge Society minion executed an ugly attack on Big Show. With the odds stacked against him, even The World’s Largest Athlete could not find a way out of this one, as Punk repeatedly stomped Big Show's hand into the steel ring steps. When The Straight Edge Society took on Big Show at SummerSlam, Punk gloated about the attack by wearing a T-shirt with the words “I Broke Big Show’s Hand” emblazoned on the front.

Punk mocks Jeff Hardy

SmackDown: Sept. 4, 2009
There certainly wasn’t any love lost between CM Punk and Jeff Hardy. On the Aug. 28, 2009 episode of SmackDown, Punk beat Jeff Hardy in a World Heavyweight Championship Steel Cage Match, requiring Hardy to leave WWE. One week later, Punk taunted the WWE Universe by emerging dressed just like Hardy – complete with face paint – to remind them that Hardy was gone for good. ( WATCH | PHOTOS)

Punk shaves Serena's head

SmackDown: Jan. 15, 2010
You have to wonder what Serena was thinking when she willingly allowed Punk to shave her head as part of a Straight Edge Society initiation ceremony.

Punk drops a "pipe bomb" on WWE and the McMahon family

In his now legendary monologue from the summer of 2011, CM Punk delivers a star-making soliloquy taking aim at WWE brass and voicing his frustrations with the sports-entertainment landscape.

Raw: June 27, 2011
Sporting a “Stone Cold” Steve Austin T-shirt on Raw, CM Punk delivered one of the most blistering diatribes ever. Angry that he wasn’t getting the attention he deserved, Punk blasted everyone on his list, including John Cena, The Rock, the WWE establishment and Mr. McMahon himself. His now infamous “pipe bomb” speech was only stifled when the mic was cut off by WWE technicians, but his words resonated and left scars still to this day.

Punk has harsh words for Stephanie McMahon

SummerSlam 2011
After EVP of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis demanded an apology for Punk's "Pipe Bomb” on Raw, The Straight Edge Superstar encountered Stephanie McMahon. Looking one of WWE’s biggest authority figures in the face, he had no problem reminding her that he called her "idiotic" and refused to shake her hand ( PHOTOS). Following his irreverence to such a high ranking WWE official, Punk beat John Cena later that night to become Undisputed WWE Champion. ( PHOTOS)

Punk taunts Rey Mysterio in front of his family

SmackDown: March 12, 2010
Although Chris Jericho has brought members of CM Punk’s family into things, he wasn’t the first to do it. In 2010, Punk confronted and humiliated Rey Mysterio in front of members of his family. The Straight Edge Superstar followed up the harassment by singing a creepy rendition of “Happy Birthday” to Mysterio’s daughter.
