Jeff Hardy Robbed Again

The tension between these two have been emanating ever since CM Punk cashed in Money in the Bank against a newly crowned Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules. Jeff has never been one to live in the past, but Punk’s deceptive use of the briefcase has left Hardy brooding over his loses.

Punk lives a Straight-Edge life – no drugs or alcohol – because he doesn't need substance to get high; rather he gets high on defeating the competition. Despite such a noble lifestyle, Punk has been booed by the fans over the controversial title win. The one-on-one match with a fully prepared Jeff would determine a fair fight for the coveted World Heavyweight Championship.

The match saw a myriad of counters and attempted finishers, but it would be Jeff that would connect with the Twist of Fate and soar through the air in a crowd deafening Swanton Bomb to become the new World Heavyweight Champion. However, the ref revoked his decision because Punk’s foot was under the ropes. A devastated Jeff continued the match but an eye stricken Punk accidentally kick the ref; thus, ending the match with Jeff the winner and Punk still champion. Jeff furiously attacked Punk with an assault of punches claiming that Punk did it on purpose. Referees were quick to pull Hardy away.

But the question remains: Did Punk really kick the ref by accident, or did he see his Championship slipping away?
