Here's what happend:

World Heavyweight Championship
TLC Match
Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk

The Title is hanging over the ring and ladders, chairs and tables are set up in intricate formations up and down the ramp as CM Punk makes him way to the ring.

Hardy is out next and he climbs the first ladder he comes to and poses for the fans. We get another set of 'big time' introductions for Punk and Hardy, with Hardy getting a huge pop, and this match is on.

Both men lock up with Punk pushing Hardy back into a corner where he beats down on him with knees and big right hands before stomping down on him. Punk sends Hardy to the outside, then goes outside himself and grabs a chair. Punk hits Hardy in the stomach with the chair before hitting him again across the back.

Punk grabs a ladder and quickly makes his way back into the ring trying to grab the belt, but Jeff is able to push the ladder over. Hardy is able to come back with some offense of his own, including a dropkick in the corner. Hardy goes for the ladder himself, but Punk makes his way back into the ring and kicks the ladder out from under CM Punk. Punk tries for the G2S, but Hardy fights out of it and shoves Punk into the ladder.

Hardy grabs a chair and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He charges Punk in the corner, but Punk catches Hardy and Slams in into the upright narrow end of the chair. Punk picks up a ladder and slams it down repeatedly on Hardy.

Punk sends Hardy to the outside again, this time following him out with a suicide dive between the ropes on top of Hardy. Punk throws a chair into the ring and sets up a table beside one of the ring posts. Punk tries to wrap a chair around Hardy's neck, but Hardy fights out, and then ducks a chair shot. Hardy tries to fights back against Punk. Hardy sends Punk into the stairs but Punk jumps up and back toward Hardy, where he's met with a chair to the face. Hardy sets up a chair and uses it as a launching pad to hit Punk with a big kick.

Hardy sets Punk up on a table on the floor and climbs up to the top rope. Hardy dives off with a big splash, but Punk rolls out of the way and Hardy falls through the table down to the floor. Punk grabs an even bigger ladder than the one already in the ring and he makes his way back into the ring. Punk sets up the ladder under the belt and begins to make his way up.

Hardy makes his way back into the ring and jumps over Punk on the ladder, almost reaching the belt. Punk tries for a G2S off the ladder, but Hardy is able to counter into a sunset flip powerbomb off the ladder.

Hardy begins to make his way slowly up the ladder and he gets his hands on the title, but Punk tips the ladder over, sending Hardy into the top turnbuckle. Punk grabs Hardy by the hair and pulls him up to the top turnbuckle. Punk superplexes Hardy off the top turnbuckle with both men landing on the ladder.

Punk tries to suplex Hardy on the ladder again, but Hardy fights out and surprises Punk with a twist of fate. Hardy goes to the top turnbuckle and tries for the swanton bomb, but Punk is able to get his knee up to cause more damage to the back of Jeff Hardy. Punk hits the high knee in the corner, but when he goes for the bulldog, Hardy picks him up, and sends him to the outside, through the table that Punk set up earlier.

Hardy sets up the ladder and Punk makes his way up to the ring apron. Punk springboards off the top rope and hits a flying forearm on Hardy before sending him to the outside. On the outside Punk wraps a chair around Hardy's neck, but Hardy is able to avoid being run into the ring post. Hardy grabs a chair himself and wails away on Punk. Hardy grabs a table, and starts dismantling the ECW announce table, hitting Punk with a moniter before hitting Punk with another chair.

Hardy sets Punk up on the announce table, whacks him in the head with a chair and pulls out a HUGE ladder. Hardy climbs to the top of the HUGE ladder and jumps off nailing Punk with a sick swanton bomb.

Medics come out to the announce table area and put Jeff in a neck brace and on a stretcher. Punk makes his way back into the ring and Hardy fights his way off the stretcher. Punk starts to climb the ladder just as Jeff falls back into the ring. Hardy makes his way up on the other side and the two slug it out and both grab for the belt. Punk kicks Hardy in the ribs, punches him in the face and sends him to the mat. Punk rips down the title, and that's it folks.

Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: CM Punk

After the match, CM Punk poses over the body of Jeff Hardy and a gong sounds and the lights go out. The crowd goes absolutely nuts as the gong sounds again and the lights come up. The Undertaker comes up through the bottom of the ring and grabs CM Punk by the throat. The Undertaker delivers a huge choke slam and poses in the middle of the ring.

Undertaker makes his way to the back, but stops at the top of the ramp, raising his fist and setting off a wall of flames to end the PPV.

I'm glad CM Punk won a World Heavyweight Title the right away as opposed to through cheating or unfair means like the last two times. He's one of the best all-rounders in the world today and a fantastic asset to WWE. A feud with The Undertaker should be brilliant if Punk isn't dominated by the Deadman.

I'm a little upset that WWE didn't let Punk have the final impact. I understand why they went with Taker coming back, to add some surpise to the PPV (which was very predictable, based off the results), and because of Takers massive popularity and the fact that Summerslam is their second biggest show but, for the past few months, Punk has been the best thing going in the WWE. WWE hasn't capatalized on Punk like they could've, first having him drop the belt to someone who they were well aware was going to leave the company and they when he wins it back, they take away some of the momentum he gained from that by feeding him to the Undertaker.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to the Punk/Taker feud. It something new and it's something I wanted to see for a year or two.

I agree that they should have had Punk win and then have his moment, but I understand why and I am really just glad that Taker is back. I honestly didn't think he would return last night. I was thinking that there would be a slow build for the next 3 weeks and he makes his return at Breaking Point. I am glad that Punk won, gald that Hardy is as good as gone, and that Taker is back. I hope that he is on SD this week.

DX wins, everyone knew that they would, but I don't care. I love seeing DX.

I thought that Dolph would win the IC title, but I don't think that just because they build a guy, they should get the title right away. Talk about being predictable, that is predictable.

I wonder where Orton and the WWE title goes from here. Will there be a full on feud between him and Cena? Will HHH get back in the title hunt? I know that fued is kind of had it's run to say the least, but I do want to see a proper feud ending match, like HHH vs. Orton in a HIAC. That would mean that the feud would go on until Oct though.

Kahli vs. Kane is a big ass waste of time because Kahli is a waste of time and they are wasting Kane in the Kahli feud.

I don't like Punk as champion- never have actually. I would have much rather liked someone else getting the title and then feuding with Undertaker.
