Jeff Hardy once again became the WWE World Heavyweight Champion after defeating Edge for the title in a ladder match at Extreme Rules. However, once the match was over, CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank contract to become world champion for the second time in his WWE career.
This began a long feud between Punk and Hardy, focusing on CM Punk's straight-edge lifestyle and Hardy's past issues with addiction and substance abuse.
After Jeff Hardy reclaimed the World Heavyweight Championship at Night of Champions, a rematch was set for SummerSlam. However, this time the match would be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs clash.
