CM Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio vs. John Cena – Hell in a Cell – 2011
After CM Punk, Alberto Del Rio and reigning champion John Cena, had all held the WWE Championship in the space of just over a month; both Punk and Del Rio were granted their contractual rematches at Hell in a Cell. The first triple threat match contested inside Hell in a Cell was supposed to clear up the controversy and uncertainty that surrounded the WWE Championship at the time, but this match certainly did not.
What started out as three men weighing up their opponents soon turned into a fast pace and exciting match.
Ultimately, Del Rio would mastermind a controversial victory and walk away from his first match inside Hell in a Cell with the championship. With the help of Ricardo Rodriguez and a steel pipe, Del Rio was able to lock Cena outside of the cell and pin Punk. Anarchy would follow when a recently fired Miz and R-Truth attacked everyone after the match.
Although this was not the most violent Hell in a Cell match, it was a well worked triple threat, jam packed with near falls and sudden attacks; and was by far the best match CM Punk had inside the five tons of steel.
