WWE WrestleMania XXVIII: WWE Champion CM Punk (C) vs. Chris Jericho
Sun Life Stadium in Miami, FL
April 1, 2012
Y2J’s jacket is red and blue lightbright edition. Laurinaitis added the stipulation where if Punk. Gets disqualified he loses the title. That’s grand. These guys could potentially steal the show like Steamboat vs. Savage. They go back and forth. Punk gives him MMA STYLE ELBOWS. Punk hits a flying clothesline on the outside. Jericho begs Punk to hit him with a chair. He doesn’t. They do a brutal suplex spot from apron onto floor. Ouch. Jericho brings Punk back to ring. Back breaker by Jericho. Kick out. Rest hold. Punk gets out of it. Tilt a whirl back breaker by Jericho. Kick out. Another kick out by Punk. Jericho has shiny new speedos that say BEST IN THE WORLD. Punk fires back with punches. Ben is making fun of Ty Cobb for being in the national guard but not ever using a gun. Welcome to freehold borough.
Yes, we have a friend named Ty Cobb. True story: we had a mock wrestling match during GM tag match for about 20 minutes. We’re all over 21. Yeah we’re cool. Lots of near falls here. Punk got out of walls of Jericho. Jericho kicked out of gts. Punk kicked out of code breaker and lionsault. Tommy Ostner just farted loudly. Thanks, buddy. Gts attempt at end reversed to the walls. Punk in middle of the ring. Cradle pin attempts traded by both men. Anaconda vice by Punk. Jericho gets out. Walls attempt. Blocked. Anaconda vice again. Awesome sequence here. Jericho taps. Very good match. Punk comes off like a million bucks here. Props to him for restoring WWE Title to a decent level after the mess that was late last year.
CM Punk defeated Chris Jericho to retain the WWE Championship via Anaconda Vice submission.
