We all know about hometown heat, but what about the other way around? The most famous example is Punk at MITB. Any others?

I know he moved around quite a bit growing up, but The Rock beating Cena at WM 28 in Miami has to count, right?

I would’ve suggested Austin winning in Texas at WrestleMania 17 but he turned heel so not sure.
The crowd didn’t care anyway.

RK-Bro winning the Raw Tag Titles in Riddle's adopted hometown of Las Vegas.
HBK beating Sid for the title at the Rumble in San Antonio, if we're including wins from before 2010.

Chris Benoit made HBK tap to the sharpshooter in Edmonton at Backlash 2004. At the time, it was a very well-received finish.

Unforgiven 2001: Kurt Angle won the WWE title from Steve Austin in Pittsburgh. He also won the WCW title from Booker in Pittsburgh in July of that year. CM Punk won the WWE title from Cena in his hometown of Chicago at MITB 2011. Tajiri & William Regal winning the tag belts in Japan on Raw in February 2005.

Didn’t Rey beat Matt Hardy to win the Crusierweight title in the main event of a Smackdown in San Diego?

The best example I can think of WWE giving someone a win specifically to send the crowd home happy is Tito Santana going over the Undertaker in Spain (not his hometown, but definitely the crowd favorite) when Taker was getting the push to end all pushes and Tito was basically a JTTS.

Punk's done well for himself in Chicago. Besides what's been said he won his Raw debut against Kenny Dykstra and beat William Regal for the IC gold.
Kaitlyn defeated Eve Torres for the Divas Championship at Raw 20th Anniversary in Houston. Eve's final match so far too!
