Report by ProWrestling.net
The opening video recapped the Ladder match and Punk’s subsequent MITB win from Extreme Rules…“Live” in the arena, CM Punk was introduced. He came to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He got a mic and said he wanted to clear up a few things. He said ever since he cashed in MITB, he has heard complaints that he stole the title from Hardy. He said he didn’t see it that way, just like he and nobody saw it that way when he cashed in on Edge last year. He said he couldn’t take back what happened, nor did he want to.
He said it wasn’t a popular choice, but he never concerned himself with what was popular. He said he wasn’t a bad guy for taking advantage of an opportunity. He said that was the purpose of the contract in MITB. He said he had worked very hard to attain the title and he promised to bring honor and respect to the world title. He said he would represent the brand Smackdown to the best of his ability. Jeff Hardy’s music hit as he finished and he came to the ring to a huge pop. As Hardy pandered to the crowd, Punk nodded, almost as if he was OK with it.
Jeff got a mic and said he wasn’t going to try and complain, that wasn’t his style. He said he didn’t agree that Punk earned it. He asked the crowd if they did, and they cheered no. Hardy said Punk won money in the bank, and that was fine, but Punk cashed in on the wrong guy. Punk said he knew Jeff was upset, but he didn’t put Jeff in that ladder match, Jeff did. Punk said the night Jeff did that, he knew Extreme Rules was the night to cash in, whoever won. Hardy asked Punk if he cared about his fans. Punk didn’t respond, so Jeff said he didn’t care, he wanted his title back tonight.
Edge’s music hit and he came out and said if anybody wanted “their” title back, it was him. Jeff said he lost the ladder match and this was between him and Punk. Punk said they could agree on that and Edge should leave. Edge said no. He said that he had been trying to figure out CM Punk and he finally had it, Punk wanted to be Edge. Punk laughed. Edge said Punk called his lifestyle straight edge. He said, “Hello, you named it after me.” He said Punk cashed in MITB just like Edge did. He said if Jeff wanted a title match, the line started behind him. Jeff said, “You’re both full of…” He kicked Edge out of the ring and hit Twist of Fate and a Swanton on Punk. The crowd went nuts.
Teddy Long came out and said that Punk was the champ and his first title defense would be at the three-for-all on Monday. He said Punk would face the winner of tonight’s number one contender’s match between Edge and Jeff Hardy. Edge looked unhappy and Jeff looked pleased. Punk was still selling the attack into commercial.
