Summerslam 09' Stories: Punk wins, Undertaker returns!

The Undertaker has officially returned from "the dead" once again as of Summerslam 2009 (Full WWE Summerslam 2009 results). The last we saw of "The Phenom" he was competing at a high level against Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 25 in the match of the event. The two Texan natives put on a classic, and both men who are well into their wrestling careers had to take some serious time off afterwards.

However at Summerslam 09', both superstars made their returns to the WWE. The fans already knew Shawn Michaels would be back as part of DX, but the Undertaker was unexpected. Michaels and HHH were able to do as expected when they picked up a victory over Legacy in interesting fashion, following some Sweet Chin Music. The match was considered one of the best of the show, but the best was really yet to come.

Later in the show, came the match of the night with CM Punk and Jeff Hardy going at it in a TLC Match. It involved some crazy stunts, including bodies hitting the floor, crashing through tables, and Jeff doing the sickest Swanton Bomb you may ever see in your life. The dive ended up putting Jeff on a stretcher and a la Mick Foley Hell in a Cell vs Undertaker, Jeff got off the stretcher to return to fight. He tried to battle Punk up on a ladder with Punk eventually throwing Jeff off and grabbing the belt to become a 3-time WH Champ. That may be the last we see of Jeff Hardy in WWE action for some time fans.

CM Punk stood over Jeff's battered and bruised body on the mat victoriously, thinking he owned Smackdown now. The lights suddenly went dark as Undertaker's bells sounded, and when the lights were back Undertaker was in Jeff Hardy's spot on the mat. Taker reached up, grabbed Punk by the throat and proceeded to chokeslam him down with all his might. The lights went out as Taker's music closed out Summerslam 2009 in grand fashion.

Now it appears we'll get another fresh new feud on SmackDown with Punk and Undertaker fighting it out. Should be a good one we haven't seen before!

In other Summerslam stories, we saw Christian retain the ECW title in ultra-quick fashion, pinning Regal before he even could take off his robe in the ring. Of course, Christian was greeted by Kozlov and Ezekiel Jackson after his win to give him a congratulatory beatdown. There was even a 15-divas battle royal prior to Summerslam with Chavo Guerrero as guest ref, and Hornswoggle nowhere to be found.

Then there was the mayhem in Cena v. Orton for the WWE title. It was classic Orton using any tactic he could to escape with the belt. The match stopped and restarted over a DQ, a near countout and then a cheat pin by Orton using the ropes. A second ref rushed into the ring to overturn a decision, something we rarely see at all in matches these days. It ended strangely with a fan going bezerk, rushing into the ring and tackling the ref. That mayhem allowed Orton to hit a series of RKO's to eventually pin Cena. Strange but true, the fan had to be a plant for this match to make some sense.

Raw should be interesting on Monday night as Floyd "Money" Mayweather will be our guest host in Las Vegas...Stay tuned for more crazy WWE action!
