Description: CM Punk vs. the Rock There has not been a WWE Championship match that has garnered this much attention in years, and with good reason as wrestling star-turned-movie star Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson is returning to challenge for the title. Anytime the Rock is involved WWE the whole show is elevated to a special level with all the "electricity" he attracts from casual wrestling fans. This energy will make for an intense fight with brazen WWE Champion CM Punk in the most important match of his career. For over 430 days, Punk has sat on top of the throne as the WWE Champion defeating all the big stars on the roster, so this match elevates him as well bringing his record-breaking title reign to it's greatest challenge. The addition of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon instituting an order that if the Shield interfere the WWE will strip Punk of the title, makes it clear: tonight in Phoenix it's one-on-one between the Rock and Punk. Though the Shield may not be the only force outside this match with something against either man, so always 'expect the unexpected'. The winner of this match may have the challenge of Elimination Chamber next month, but do not get it twisted: the winner of this match is headlining Wrestlemania 29. Each men with their larger-than-life egos will want to win this match at all cost, and it's not going to be squash match. This one will go down to the wire. Prediction: After 430 days as champ, Punk's days as WWE Champion end with the Rock defeating him clean. The Rock takes the WWE Championship on a worldwide press tour to promote his three upcoming movies, Snitch , Pain & Gain and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
