Date: June 30, 2008 Event: Monday Night Raw. What happened?: After Edge got a well deserved beat down by Batista for cheating to retain the title at Night of Champions the night before, CM Punk took advantage and cashed in his MITB contract to become the World Heavyweight Champion for the first time in his career. What made this a major moment for me was, the crowd received Punk well, the commentary was flawless, and I think everyone pretty much thought Edge & Batista would be feuding for the title for awhile. Fun Fact: CM Punk is the only man to win the MITB ladder match twice, and successfully cash-in both times. Honorable Mention(s): The first ever MITB cash-in. New Years Revolution '06 when Edge cashed-in on Cena. And the most recent: the Raw after WM29 when Dolph Ziggler cashed-in on Alberto Del Rio. Both of these matches were amazing because of 1) the element of surprise, and 2) the respective crowds during each match. The crowd reactions put both of these quickie matches over the top.

The WWE Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins was BEAST in ROH, & FCW, where he is the first FCW grand slam champion. Just watch his matches, he is an excellent worker, & is good on the mic as well. Once The Shield is done, he'll be able to hold his own on main roster easily. Roman Reigns is a good wrestler, he just really needs to fine tune those mic skills. His looks make up for it though, lol. Most people think that Reigns will be the first out of the group to hold a World Championship. I'm not most people, so I don't think so, but, we'll see. The Shield are just dominant right now. Honorable Mention: The TNA World Tag Team Champions James Storm & Gunner.

The Divas Champion AJ Lee. Because she is so good at playing her role, she is making me HATE her, lol. She's actually one of my favorites, but right now I'm on that brink of I love/hate her. This Kaitlyn & AJ feud is one of the best storylines the divas division has had in FOREVER. AJ came to main roster, & made you know who she is. She's a great worker, excellent on the mic, and she has worked for this her whole life, how can you NOT love this girl?

The United States Champion Dean Ambrose. This guy is MONEY. I heard about him though the IWC back when he went under the ring name Jon Moxley. Once he signed w/ WWE, I was exposed to him a lot more since I could watch FCW (now known as NXT). Not only is he a great athlete, he has great mic skills. I am a heel kinda girl, so of course I LOVE The Shield, but when he ends up breaking out on his own, he'll be even more amazing than he is now.
