It was the “Summer of Punk" as the Second City Saint was set to take on John Cena in a clash to once and for all, name and outright champion. In this tale of two champions, the battle would be an intense back and forth brawl with plenty of exciting spots and near falls. After a near 25-minute war, Punk stood tall as the winner of the match, capturing the true, undisputed WWE Championship.

Just as Punk was catching his breath, following the long battle, Kevin Nash attacked the newly crowned champion, which led to a golden opportunity for the Money In The Bank winner, Alberto Del Rio, to cash in on someone else's misfortune. That is exactly what happened. Del Rio made the run-in, got the quick pin and just like that, a half-hour championship war was negated for an 11-second cash in, sending home Alberto Del Rio as the new WWE Champion.
