Punk has been a multi-time World Champion during his WWE run. His first major title reign kicked off with an ECW Championship victory over John Morrison.
Winning consecutive Money in the Bank matches allowed the Straight Edge Superstar to add the tag of World Heavyweight Champion to his resume.
Punk’s first WWE Championship reign started on July 17, 2011, when he defeated John Cena in a highly acclaimed match to win the Title at that year’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
The reign would only last 28 days, with Alberto Del Rio cashing in his Money in the Bank contract on Punk to win the title at SummerSlam.

While it might have seemed like the end of CM Punk’s time in the main event scene, that wasn’t the case.
The Straight Edge Superstar would reclaim his WWE Championship from Del Rio at Survivor Series the same year, kicking off his legendary 434-day reign with the championship.
His iconic run concluded when The Rock defeated him to win the title at Royal Rumble 2013. This made Punk one of the longest-reigning WWE Champions in the company’s history, with a total of 462 days across two title reigns.
