On August - 27 - 2009
CM Punk is coming off a tremendous feud with "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy, which I rated in my previous article, and it looks the WWE Universe is now going to be treated to a CM Punk/Undertaker feud.
CM Punk is currently at the top of the heap on Smackdown and in recent months due to his rivalry with Hardy he has transformed into a great heel. CM Punk became over-confident, self-righteous, preachy, but he is also cynical and ruthless.
