CM Punk
When then-ECW Champion Bobby Lashley was drafted to Raw, he was stripped of the championship and ECW held a tournament to decide the new champion. Punk defeated Marcus Cor Von on the June 19 episode of ECW on Sci Fi. Punk was supposed to face Chris Benoit at Vengeance: Night of Champions next but Benoit legitimately no-showed the event after he killed his family and himself. He was replaced by Johnny Nitro and Nitro defeated Punk for the vacant championship.
