CM Punk then makes his way to the ring.
Punk says it's a good time to be alive on a Monday Night, then says it's summer time but he can hear a little bit of thunder in the distance. He says he's been a two time Money In The Bank briefcase holder, and he's looking forward to doing it a third time. He says there's a long list of challengers looking for titles, and one of those with a long list of challengers is Jey Uso. He says should he win Money In The Bank and cash it in on him, it's all business before he puts John Cena on notice as well and says it's time he becomes a champion one more time.
Sami Zayn's music hits, and he makes his way out. He says he heard Punk talking about wanting to become a World Champion, then says he shares those same ambitions with Punk. He says Money In The Bank isn't the path for him anymore after Seth Rollins, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Paul Heyman cost him. He says he came to the ring to emphasize how important it is that Punk wins, then says everything is about the task at hand. He says he knows he's thinking about Rollins as Rollins is thinking about him, then says the 2025 Men's Money In The Bank Ladder Match changes if Punk enters it because he holds the power to stop Rollins from winning the briefcase. He says the WWE Universe needs Punk to win, then says while he wants Punk to win his Triple Threat Qualifier tonight, should he win the Money In The Bank briefcase and/or the World Heavyweight Championship, then they will be face-to-face in the ring again having a completely different conversation.
