10 Worst Endings In WWE Hell In A Cell History
10. The Undertaker Vs. CM Punk (2009)
CM Punk's rivalry with Jeff Hardy over the World Heavyweight Championship is widely regarded by fans to be some of his best work as a heel. However, any momentum he gained from exiling Hardy from WWE was quickly squandered in his subsequent feud with The Undertaker.
Long before Punk challenged Undertaker's storied streak at WrestleMania XXIX, he and The Deadman first faced off in the fall of 2009. Their original encounter at the one-and-only Breaking Point pay-per-view was less-than-stellar and the rematch at the inaugural Hell in a Cell event three weeks later wasn't much better.
Rumor had it at the time that Punk was in the doghouse for not adhering to WWE's then-strict dress code despite being the World Heavyweight champion. Whether that actually happened was never made clear, but it couldn't have been a coincidence that Punk lost the title to 'Taker that night in just 10 minutes.
It was a disappointing ending to Punk's reign as world champion. There wasn't anything overly offensive about the match itself (except for that it was fairly one-sided in favor of Undertaker), but The Phenom disposing of Punk as easily as he did was a lame way for their feud to conclude.
