#3 The Undertaker returns and chokeslams CM Punk
One of the main objections to the WWE's handling on CM Punk is that even when he held the top championship in the company, he would rarely be featured in the main event of PPVs. During his 434 day reign throughout 2011/12, he had to play second fiddle to guys like John Cena, Brock Lesnar and even John Laurinitus. It certainly wasn't what his fans had in mind for the Straight Edge Superstar.
That being said, back in 2009 the company did the right thing at Summerslam and put his match with Jeff Hardy over the World Heavyweight Championship on last. This was impressive considering the other title match was between John Cena and Randy Orton. Jeff and Punk were having an exceptional rivalry which mixed CM Punk's straight edge lifestyle with Hardy's carefree attitude and well-documented drug use. Their match at Summerslam was probably the signature moment of the whole thing.
The match concluded with Jeff leaping off a giant ladder onto Punk who was laid out on the Spanish announce table. Punk came out the better of the spot and crawled his way to the ladder to retrieve the title. Just as fans were getting ready to pack away and leave the arena, the infamous sound of the Undertaker's music rang around the building.
When the lights came back on, there was The Phenom laying under Punk in the exact same position Jeff had been before. Punk did a brilliant job of looking shocked and frightened and failed to scramble away from the Deadman's clutches.
It was an epic moment owing to its unexpected nature. We knew Jeff was likely to take some time off after this feud, although we didn't know quite how long that would be back then, and we needed somebody like Taker to fill that top role on Smackdown. Taker got up and chokeslammed Punk, firing the starting pistol to their rivalry with lasted much of the remainder of the year.
