CM Punk Trumphs Hardy in TLC; The Undertaker Returns and Finds New Opponent

The final match was for the World Heavyweight Championship in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match!

CM Punk, winner of two consecutive MitB matches has always won his World Heavyweight titles through seizing opportunities – but tonight was a chance to prove that he could win it fare and square.

Jeff Hardy entered the arena with Black and White Face Paint – a sign that Hardy signed up for this war and was ready to tap into his dark enigmatic nature and bring hell to Punk.

CM Punk has been beating up Jeff Hardy for weeks, and continued to do so even in this match as he destroyed Jeff with a superplex off the top rope unto a ladder.

Jeff Hardy proving a master of these type of matches – flung Punk out of the ring and unto a table.

Jeff would continue his work by laying out Punk on the ECW announce table – smashing him with a steel chair, and then setting up a 20ft ladder in close proximity.

Now… Jeff Hardy hasn’t attempted this since Wrestlemania 17 where he crashed into Bubba Ray Dudley on a table.

Jeff Hardy stood atop of that 20ft Ladder and pretty much escalated his send off to his possibly departure from the WWE with one final stunt.

Jeff Hardy looked down at an unconscious Punk and dove off in a 20ft Swanton Bomb.

Hardy landed on Punk and both crashed through the ECW announce table.

Both men weren’t moving, but as the paramedics started to put Jeff in a neck brace – Punk made his way into the ring.

Jeff, some how, willed his way into the ring and the two shared blows at the top of the ladder, inches away from Championship Glory.

But it was Punk who was the better man and knocked Jeff off the ladder.

CM Punk is the new World Heavyweight Champion and as he stood over Jeff gloating – The lights began to flicker on and off.

Until the arena went into complete darkness…

When the lights came back on, Jeff Hardy had disappeared and in his place was The Undertaker!
Taker grabbed Punk’s neck and chokeslammed the hell out of him.

Seeing as Jeff is sent to leave the WWE – The Undertaker will start a feud with CM Punk.


This night marks the return of both Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker – the two have been gone since Wrestlemania 25 and have returned at SummerSlam.
