CM Punk sensationally introduced himself to RAW by defeating Edge to claim the World Heavyweight Championship in Oklahoma City.

A record 11,560 fans packed the Ford Center as CM Punk clinically utilised his Mr. Money in the Bank title opportunity and stunned Edge to snatch the gold.

After the Rated-R Superstar entered the ring and began mocking SmackDown announcer and Oklahoma native Jim "JR" Ross - Batista took objection and flew down the ramp to confront the champ.

The Animal punished his longtime nemesis and left him lying wounded in the ring - presenting CM Punk with the prime opportunity to strike.

The Straightedge Superstar charged towards the ring clutching the Money in the Bank briefcase.

As a referee called for the bell to start the match, CM Punk made quick work of his opponent, levelling an already dazed Edge with a Go To Sleep.

JBL demand

It was a move straight out of the Ultimate Opportunists handbook, but as Punk began to celebrate, JBL entered the fray demanding a title fight.

Already on cloud nine, WWE's newest champion euphorically accepted.

Before the match, JBL's adversary, John Cena, made a plea to Punk to let him fight for the gold, however the Lonestar Loudmouth brought in his own battalion of security to confront Cena and escort him from the building.

During the title match, JBL's security detail surrounded the ring in hopes of intimidating Punk. Toward the end of the match, however, Cena was joined by Cryme Tyme and confronted the goons.

As a melee ensued outside the ring, CM Punk nailed a Go To Sleep to retain his World Heavyweight Championship before joining Cena and Cryme Tyme in driving back JBL's security detail.

Although Punk and Cena joined forces on Monday night, the Chain Gang Commander will be determined to soon claim a World Title to call his own.
