We sneak a look at Triple H and Stephanie McMahon talking in a hallway before sharing a snog.

He tried to muscle Cena into a pinfall situation but Cena reversed it back into the STF. Before Cena could lock his leg in place and trap Punk, Punk dropped his leg across the bottom rope to escape.

Cena charged Punk but ended up deposited to the outside. Punk nailed a suicide dive to the outside. Both men were out and Triple H began counting. He got to nine, stopped and went to the outside. He tossed them back into the ring. I guess that's the WWE's answer to UFC standing up fighters.

Cena dropkicked him in the face and nailed the Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena went for the AA but Punk turned it into a sunset flip for a two count.

Cena muscled up Punk for the AA but Punk kept slipping out. Cena finally nailed it and scored a two count that was so close, Cena was stunned. Cena gained control and went for the Alabama Jam but Punk moved. Cena looked like he hurt his legs. Punk drilled him with the GTS but Cena kicked up at the last minute. Now Punk was looking shocked and was acting as if he hurt his knee when he nailed the GTS. Punk was now limping.

Punk gingerly went to the top rope and did the Randy Savage motions before hitting the top rope elbow for another near fall. There was a loud "Randy Savage" chant. Punk had words with HHH over the call. Cena caught Punk in an inside cradle for a near fall. Punk and Cena battled back and forth with strikes and punches. Punk nailed a series of knees and went for the GTS again.

Punk covered Cena and HHH counted the pin. Cena's foot was clearly on the ropes. They began playing Punk's music, so I guess....

Your winner and Undisputed champion CM Punk!

Cena tried to explain to HHH but Hunter said he didn't see it. Punk sat in the ringside table smiling and began walking around ringside celebrating. Cena left while HHH wguirias standing in the ring. Punk returned to the ring. HHH offered his hand. Punk wouldn't take it. HHH raised his hand. HHH exited the ring.

Punk celebrated on the ropes when Kevin Nash, YES KEVIN NASH, hit the ring and clotheslined Punk, then powerbombed him before heading through the crowd. HHH returned to ringside looking stunned.

Out came Alberto Del Rio with the Money in the Bank contract. He cashes in and drills Punk the leaping enziguiri, pinning Punk.

HHH argued with the referee who counted the fall but was told it was legal.
