At Breaking Point 2009, The Undertaker faced CM Punk in a submission match. The match ended in controversial fashion, and the fans realized that the finish was similar to the Montreal Screwjob, that took place in the same venue 12 years ago.

CM Punk locked in the Anaconda Vice on The Undertaker, and the crooked referee Scott Armstrong signaled the timekeeper to ring the bell.

As an enraged Undertaker looked at Punk posing with the title, SmackDown GM Theodore Long came out to the ramp and stared at The Deadman without uttering a word. The storyline later saw The Undertaker hounding and harassing Teddy Long for weeks on end.
