10 Fascinating WWE Backstage Facts About CM Punk
4. He Upset The Undertaker
But who didn't?
The self-appointed judge of Wrestler's Court stewarded the locker room with an iron fist, and was thus no stranger to having his ire raised. CM Punk sadly fell afoul of this in 2009 though, aiding the ruination of his amazing heel turn on Jeff Hardy and World Heavyweight Title success that summer.
The particular bone picked by 'The Deadman' was in how Punk was dressed back then. Sporting casual attire rather than adhering to the dress code, the new Champion allegedly told 'Taker that he should be free to wear what he wants in the same way John Cena did. Assuming his - ahem - locker room leader role, Undertaker disagreed and was offended by Punk's comparison and for simply not doing what he was told.
This manifested on-screen in the form of their middling programme over the belt Punk felt he was just doing just fine representing in jeans and a t-shirt. Undertaker beat him handily at Hell In A Cell, setting in motion a period of two years before 'The Straight Edge Superstar' was near a top title again.
