Umaga def. CM Punk
CHICAGO -- Entering the sold-out Allstate Arena in his Illinois hometown, CM Punk sought retribution against Umaga, the bulldozing juggernaut who savagely attacked him multiple times in the weeks leading up to Judgment Day. Unfortunately for The Straightedge Superstar, it was the hulking Samoan who walked away with the victory Sunday night, blasting Punk with the Samoan Spike and scoring the three-count. (PHOTOS)
Punk's loss certainly wasn't due to a lack of effort; in fact, their confrontation in the Windy City resembled a pier six brawl that clearly took its toll on both competitors. Fueled by his hometown fans, the resilient Superstar used everything in his offensive arsenal of vicious kicks and reckless dives in an attempt to subdue the monster. Yet, in the end, The Samoan Bulldozer's colossal size and leviathan-like strength proved too much for Mr. Money in the Bank to overcome. Like numerous Superstars before him, CM Punk was simply overwhelmed by the 350-pound animal's raw power.
This defeat may feel especially frustrating for The Straightedge Superstar; besides having faced constant, unprovoked attacks from Umaga over the past month, The Samoan Bulldozer stopped Punk from cashing in his Money in the Bank World Title opportunity on multiple occasions. In laying out a challenge to the aggressive warrior, Punk was hoping to settle the score between the two Superstars once and for all. The fact that he came up short in his attempt to stop the Samoan raises the question if Umaga's unmotivated assaults will continue until Punk finds a way to stop him.
One thing is for certain: Mr. Money in the Bank will be looking over his shoulder the next time he attempts to cash in his World Title contract.
