All world heavyweight titles changed hands yesterday at Extreme Rules and
one title in particular changed hands more than once in the same night as CM
Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank to become the new World Heavyweight
champion after Jeff Hardy defeated Edge in the Ladder Match to become a two
time world champ. Hardy's celebrations didn't last very long and as Jim Ross
was about to interview the new champ, Punk's music hit and the match was
under way. Punk hit the GTS but Hardy kicked out and then Jeff locked Punk
in a small package pin but Punk also kicked out in the last second. CM Punk
hit his second GTS and this time scored the pinfall becoming the only person
who won the MITB ladder match back-to-back and being successful in both his
attempts when cashing in. You can see Punk winning the title at the end of
the show at tinyurl.com/nabvuj
Randy Orton also lost his WWE title inside a steel cage in his match against
"The Animal" Batista while Tommy Dreamer finally won the ECW World title
beating Christian and Jack Swagger in a triple threat hardcore rules match.
In other matches, Chris Jericho defeated Rey Mysterio to win the
Intercontinental title in a no holds barred match; John Cena defeated the
Big Show in a submission match; CM Punk defeated Umaga in a Samoan strap
match; Kofi Kingston retained his US title against MVP, William Regal and
Matt Hardy; and Santina Marella defeated Vickie Guerrero in a hog pen match
to regain the Miss WrestleMania crown.
