I don't remember the exact details, but I vaguely remember a night on Raw when 5 or 6 of the faces were in the ring together, including CM Punk and I believe DX, and punk got what was really his first big pop on Raw. Like noticably loud, almost superstar pop. And they put the breaks on shortly thereafter.
I actually think it's pretty impressive the amount of pop he gets being only an upper midcard guy, and looking in no way like the kind of wrestler Vince wants to sell to his crowds. Almost all the house show reports list him as one of most popular wrestlers on the card.
