john cena
the year 2011 saw a highly acclaimed feud between the company's two most high-profile superstars, john cena and cm punk. their match at money in the bank on july 17 was named one of the greatest matches in wwe history. punk, who had become a top star during the summer of 2011 due to his infamous "pipe bomb" promo, would hold the wwe championship for 434 days before losing to the rock in 2013 at the 2013 royal rumble, a reign recognized by wwe as the sixth-longest championship reign of all-time and the longest in 25 years. the rock defended the championship until he was defeated by john cena at wrestlemania 29 in a rematch from their bout the previous year. cena would later drop the title to daniel bryan at summerslam, immediately after which it started the authority storyline that saw underdog bryan feuding with wwe coo triple h, his prodigy randy orton and other members of the authority. after losing the title cm punk would feud with his advocate paul heyman, that saw him face heyman's other client brock lesnar at summerslam. wwe officially named the match between punk and lesnar as the best match that year on their official website wwe.com.

in the main event, nxt women's champion bayley defended her title against sasha banks in a 30–minute iron man match, in what was the first women's match to headline a major wwe event, the first time in wwe history that a women's match had this stipulation, and the longest women's match in wwe history at the time until the 2018 women's royal rumble match. the event also included the semi-finals and final of the dusty rhodes tag team classic tournament. this is also the first takeover event where the nxt championship was not contested in the main-event, and so far the only one where it was not contested at all in the event itself. it also marked the first wwe match of asuka, who would go on to have the longest undefeated streak in wwe history.
