The vast majority of Undertaker returns have come under the cover of darkness, but none were quite so exciting and shocking as when he spoiled CM Punk's party at SummerSlam 2009.

The Straight Edge Superstar had just defeated Jeff Hardy in the main event to win back the World Heavyweight Championship, and was celebrating over Hardy's fallen body when a familiar sound was heard.

The lights went out and then came back on again. Punk's attention was focused on the entranceway, expected the Deadman to slowly make his way down to the ring from there.

Heck, he could even have been across from Punk in the ring. When it was clear that neither of these was true, Punk breathed a sigh of relief.

The breath was soon to be choked out of him, as the new champion realised that Hardy's body beneath him had been replaced by an altogether more sinister one, a dead one so to speak.

'Taker throttled Punk, hit him with a humongous chokeslam and made his intentions clear.
