The Bizarre Reason The Undertaker Caused CM Punk To Lose The WWE World Heavyweight Title

During his WWE World Heavyweight Championship reign in 2009, CM Punk faced a setback when he dropped the title to The Undertaker at Hell In a Cell in October of that year.

According to reports circulating at the time, the catalyst for Punk’s loss stemmed from a conversation he had with The Undertaker regarding his attire, as detailed by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. During a WWE European tour, Undertaker purportedly confronted Punk about his wardrobe choices, stressing the significance of presenting himself in a manner fitting of a World Champion and a representative of the company.

Punk’s response, which allegedly referenced John Cena’s dress, was interpreted as dismissive of Undertaker’s counsel. This exchange reportedly reached WWE management, prompting the decision to strip Punk of the title and have him relinquish it to Undertaker in the opening match of the Hell In a Cell pay-per-view event.

The incident sparked discussions within the wrestling community, prompting Jim Ross to address the matter on his blog on Jrsbbq.com. Expressing incredulity at the reported reason behind Punk’s title loss, Ross wrote on his blog on Jrsbbq.com:

Crazy email….CM Punk lost the World’s Title because of a ‘dress code’ violation. Please, stop the pain.
