Big Show def. CM Punk
CHICAGO – Just like he did two nights earlier on SmackDown (WATCH), Big Show downed CM Punk with a debilitating knockout punch.
Outweighed by The World’s Largest Athlete, Punk did his best to hold his own against the near 500-pounder.
However, before the match even began, The Second City Saint dissed his own hometown by calling Chicago’s residents the “scum of the earth.” With the disrespectful rant, perhaps The Straight Edge Society leader was doomed from the start.
Did the highly-visible loss on the pay-per-view stage shake the foundation on The Straight Edge Society? Or, will Punk forge onward with his message of living the straight edge lifestyle? And, who is next to feel the full force of The World’s Largest Athlete? Find out on the next SmackDown at 8/7 CT on MyNetworkTV.

With Alberto Del Rio sitting in at the announce table, Captain Charisma took on CM Punk. At a pivotal moment, Del Rio grabbed both the microphone and Christian’s attention, opening the door for The Second City Saint to execute the GTS for the pin.
Afterward, Del Rio put his chair on top of Christian, reiterating that he would not face him at Night of Champions. When Big Show stormed to the ring, Del Rio looked ready to hit The World’s Largest Athlete with the chair. Although this gave Punk time to attack his Night of Champions opponent, Big Show quickly turned the tables, blasting Punk with a knockout punch.

The Undertaker proposed a No Holds Barred Match
Eager to go to war with World Heavyweight Champion Kane at Night of Champions, The Undertaker suggested that their match be a No Holds Barred Match. After The Deadman issued his challenge, CM Punk emerged and claimed The Phenom is on a “personal, downward spiral.” Unphased by Punk’s tough talk, The Undertaker described Punk as his “next victim.”
The Undertaker def. CM Punk
He came. He saw. He conquered CM Punk.
Even though still feeling the lingering effects of being attacked by Kane, The Undertaker summoned from within to get the job done against the leader of The Straight Edge Society. After downing Punk with a chokeslam, it looked like it was over, but Punk managed to kick out of an attempted pinfall. Next, The Deadman went for a Tombstone, but Punk countered with the GTS. Finally, using his lethal Hell’s Gate submission hold, The Phenom forced Punk to tap out.
After the match, Kane’s maniacal laughter echoed throughout the arena while flames shot skyward from the ring posts. His presence was felt, but never seen. The question lingers: Will Kane accept The Undertaker’s challenge to make their Night of Champions bout a No Holds Barred Match?

Big Show confronted The Straight Edge Society
CM Punk got his televangelist on again, much to the dismay of the WWE Universe. The preachy Superstar, along with his disciple Luke Gallows, railed against Monday Night Raw and its 900 episodes, blaming the show for everything short of locusts and floods.
While Punk spat ire and brimstone, Big Show descended to the ring like an avenging angel. The World’s Largest Athlete not only silenced Punk, he slapped him across the chest with his meaty paw. As the S.E.S. high priest high-tailed it out of the ring and looked on, Show punished his brainwashed devotee, Gallows.

LOS ANGELES – In a 3-on-1 Handicap Match, one might expect the larger number to come out on top. But by chokeslamming Joseph Mercury onto a prone Luke Gallows, Big Show proved that just because CM Punk’s group of cronies are straight edge, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re better than you – in the squared circle.
For weeks, CM Punk and the Straight Edge Society have been at odds with The World’s Largest Athlete, most recently attacking the Superstar’s hand in a brutal steel step assault, damaging tendons.
During parts of the match, The Straight Edge Society seemed to have the upper hand. Outside the ring, the group pummeled Big Show after smartly grounding him, trying to wear down the giant and give their team a better chance at pulling off the victory. But their overzealousness and cockiness in the numbers game backfired.
Never one to back down, Big Show used his anger in the bout, manhandling the bald-headed Luke Gallows and Joseph Mercury to The Second City Savior’s dismay. Though the odds may have been stacked against Show, the Knucklehead star stood firm.
Before the WWE Official finished the three-count, Punk was finished, too. The leader walked out, disgusted with the dismal performance he had just seen from his followers. With Serena falling off the wagon, and The Straight Edge Superstar continually reprimanding his devoted cohorts, the foundation of The S.E.S. appears to be on shaky ground.
What’s next for The S.E.S.? CM Punk has always been intent on saving everyone else, but can he save his own society?

As The S.E.S. looked on, Big Show took out three local athletes with overwhelming force in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match. The final blow came when Big Show unleashed his devastating knockout punch, using the very arm that CM Punk and his disciplines had attacked.
Will The S.E.S be able to conquer the angry giant in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match at SummerSlam?
