CM Punk played one of his toughest matches when he defended his World Heavyweight title against The Undertaker in 2009. The Second City Saint tried every tactic to overcome his legendary opponent, but the Deadman, known as “The Phenom,” proved too much for him. Despite Punk’s relentless efforts, The Undertaker reclaimed the World Heavyweight title, marking his third and final reign. This match handed Punk his first loss inside the Hell in a Cell structure.

Punk found himself once again inside the Hell in a Cell, this time in a triple-threat match for the WWE title in 2011. Going up against John Cena and Alberto Del Rio, the match was filled with fast-paced action, and the Cell only heightened the chaos. Punk endured brutal punishment, including being sent crashing through a table at ringside. As he attempted his signature GTS on Del Rio, the latter caught him off-guard with a lead pipe to secure the win. This marked Punk’s second defeat in the unforgiving Cell.

CM Punk returned to the Hell in a Cell in 2012, this time defending his WWE title against Ryback. The powerhouse Ryback was no easy challenge, but Punk, ever the strategist, used everything he could—fire extinguishers, kendo sticks, you name it. The match had a shocking twist when referee Brad Maddox betrayed Ryback with a low blow, allowing Punk to win with a quick roll-up pin. This controversial victory marked Punk’s first win inside the Hell in a Cell.

Punk’s next Hell in a Cell outing came in 2013, where he faced Ryback and his former manager, Paul Heyman, in a two-on-one handicap match. Betrayed by Heyman earlier that year, Punk was determined to exact revenge. He took down Ryback with an elbow drop through a table before climbing to the top of the Cell to confront Heyman. Punk delivered a beating to Heyman with a kendo stick, followed by his finishing move, the GTS, giving him another victory and a sense of redemption.

Veteran wrestling journalist Bill Apter recently discussed John Cena’s potential final matches in WWE. The superstar is set for a farewell run in 2025.

In a recent Q&A with Wrestlevotes, Apter suggested that Austin Theory might challenge Cena again. Their match at WrestleMania 39 didn’t meet expectations, and Apter believes the two could have another go at it. He mentioned that Theory has grown as a performer, having won multiple championships since their last encounter.

“This may sound strange, but that match with Austin Theory was a disaster years ago,” Apter said. “Theory is now a much better wrestler. I think it would be exciting to see him call out Cena, saying, ‘That match was terrible, one of the worst in WWE history. Let’s do it again, Cena.’”

With WWE RAW moving to Netflix next year, it will be intriguing to see when Cena returns to the WWE screen.
