I went to bed early, so I didn't get to see this match.
Basically what happened was: UT got Punk in his "****'s Gate" submission choke hold and caused Punk to tap.
Then Teddy Long (Smackdown GM) came out and said that move was banned by the former Smackdown GM and unfortunately the rules still apply.
When the match re-started, Punk got UT in the Anaconda Vice and almost a split second later the ref called for the bell and the ref and Punk both ran out of the ring.
I'm torn on this finish, but looking at it more and more, I think this is how this match had to end.
Building up to Breaking Point the WWE kept saying how UT had never tapped out - so if UT would have tapped it would have made him look weak - we all know UT has faced tougher opponents than Punk.
However, if Punk had lost the belt what would WWE have done with him? Also, this PPV was in Montreal, home of the infamous "Montreal Screwjob" done on Bret Hart. It seems as if WWE was pulling another Montreal Screwjob on UT. In this case though, I think UT was in on it. Surely the WWE wouldn't have pulled something like this on the UT, who is probably their best employee they've ever had.
