#1.) CM Punk – SummerSlam 2009
In his first SummerSlam main event, Jeff Hardy took on CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship. The two had the best rivalry of 2009 and it was nothing short of intense and personal. Jeff Hardy’s personal issues with drug use were brought up in the storyline and their feud was taken to a whole new level at the biggest party of the summer.
It was undoubtedly the best singles match of Hardy’s career and the most memorable moment of the match took place when Jeff Hardy climbed a ladder next to the announce desk (where Punk was placed) and he hit a brutal, death-defying Swanton Bomb on him.
Punk would walk out with the title, but his celebration didn’t last long as The Undertaker would return right after to confront him.
