Why CM Punk Lost The World Championship To Undertaker

While the presumption many had was that the Undertaker vs. CM Punk feud would culminate with a Taker victory anyway, the man responsible for making it happen so rapidly and definitively at WWE Hell in a Cell was technically Punk himself.

According to F4WOnline.com, Punk garnered significant lockerroom heat due to an incident on a recent European tour.

Though sources are unclear on the exact exchange, it reportedly involved Undertaker confronting CM Punk about not adhering to a more formal dress code when outside of the ring. Punk responded by asking why the rule does not apply to John Cena, at which point, it was decided that Punk’s attitude was a problem.

Some sources are quick to note that Punk’s question was simply designed to underscore the double standard in the lockerroom as it relates to the dress code; veterans, however, took the comment as CM Punk claiming he was on the same level as John Cena.

In response to the situation, the Undertaker vs. CM Punk match was moved to the opening slot on Sunday’s pay-per-view and ended with an Undertaker title victory.

  1. Holy crap! Are you serious? I’m ashamed of CM Punk. He’s done everything right in his push as Champion so why is he going to ruin it with some misconduct like this and appropriate dress code. Also, having the respect of The Undertaker is one of the most important things for a WWE talent to have. As much as I’ve been impressed with Punk’s rise to the top, I’m gladd WWE penalized him and you do not disrespect The Undertaker

  2. wtf.
    After hip replacement surgery, undertaker can`t go 8min without dying. Punk carried the match at the ppv. So what if he dresses like he wants,and always has. Bull crap. Taker needs to f##k off. I want to remember him like he was at WM25. Not that shit he calls a match nowadays. what a joke. Punk is a great wrestler.Unfair. atleast cena lost and the crowd booed him all nigth. Hope the wwe wakes up and puts Cana down a peg or three.

  3. Hello, Punk was WORLD CHAMPION (in caps in case they missed it)! So that makes him not on par with Cena? Seriously!

  4. this danner person is obviously a moron, wwe wouldn’t be what it is today with out taker. As in any profession, the up and comers need to relize who got them their breaks in the first place. At least the jerk got his name right, PUNK is right. The bosses gave him a chance to show he had some class, and he failed.

  5. Obviously dustydog doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about!!!!!

    MAYBE YOU FORGOT WHO WON MITB TWO YEARS IN A ROW NON LIKE UNDERTAKER!!!

    GET YOUR STORY RIGHT!
