Match of the Day - 7/30/20: CM Punk vs. Triple H (Night of Champions 2011)

Didn't mean to have two CM Punk matches as the Match of the Day but here we are. On the last post, we looked back at Punk's match with Jeff Hardy from Summerslam 2009 and talked about his epic summer that year, who would have figured that his 2011 summer would completely trump it? Looking back at this match in 2020 is pretty funny considering how real their feud in 2011 was and how the two seemingly have yet to squash whatever beef they have against each other.
Their match at here at Night of Champions can be described as... a mess. A fun mess. A fun No Disqualification match that saw Punk drive an elbow through Triple onto a table, interference from The Miz and R-Truth and finally, some interference from Kevin Nash. Yes, Kevin Nash. Triple H is able to hit a second Pedigree on Punk to score the win. As much as CM Punk annoys me and all, he certainly had a point when he was upset at Triple H not putting him over. It basically shows how much trust and belief they had behind this Punk train. Something tells me Punk still hasn't forgotten this.
