Punk as you lay there in your most uncomfortable somebody is afraid of what I’m going to say. As you lay there in your most uncomfortable I hope you can listen. I hope you can digest because before I leave here in six months with that WWE Championship, I got to get a whole lot of stuff off my chest. First things first, I don’t hate you. I don’t even dislike you. I like you. I like you more than anyone you’ve ever shared a locker room with, that’s for sure. I hate this idea of you, this idea that you’re the best in the world, you’re not. I’m the greatest of all time. You’re better than me at one thing. You’re the best bullshitter in the world.
Oh no, kiddos! John Cena just dropped a curse word that means the show is completely off the rails!… The truth is, Punk, I’m jealous of you. I am jealous that you have conned these people into believing the myth that you’re the best in the world. Ah, they chant for you. Hell when you come out, they sing to you but they don’t believe a goddamn word you say because you change your values as much as I change my T-shirts. You’re just a loud mouth opportunist who will step on the necks of people who actually work hard if it gets you ahead. Where’s another camera? Hey, Claudio Castignoli! Hey, Nick Nemeth! Hey, Matt Cardona! How you guys doing?
He’s heating up! He’s on fire, and there’s nobody back there that’s going to cut my mic to save your ass because I’m your only friend. Remember who gave you the stage for your pipe bomb, pal? What have you done with it since then? Huh? You just regurgitated the same five microphone moves of doom. Your promo potato salad pal. Hey, you’re no longer the voice of the voiceless. You’re a frigging millionaire despite yourself. You’re not Punk. You’re a capitalist and you’re not against TKO, Dude, you are Mr. TKO because they knocked your balls technically off your body! Your tweets are strong. Your actions are weak and in Saudi Arabia you’re going to face some loud, loud music when I finally prove to the world that each and every day, day in, day out, no days off for 25 years, I have been the greatest of all time! They know that you were the best in the world for seven minutes, 14 years ago and after Night of Champions, you’re still delusional enough to believe that you’re the best in the world? Well, I guess it’s a small world after all.
Bring your A game because as you can tell, if this building in Grand Rapids is an indication the mood is starting to change you…I’m not going do any more damage. You need to rest up. You got a big championship match ahead. The best in the world against the greatest of all time for the most coveted prize in sports entertainment, the WWE Undisputed Championship. I know you will sing. I know you will chant but I know even you idiots are smart enough to see the truth. The Champ is here! Hey, USA! You can keep the extra two and a half minutes. I don’t need a bomb. Elvis has left the motherfudging building!
