Punk then says he doesn’t know Paul well enough personally to have a problem with him. Punk then says it’s business because of the Elimination Chamber. Punk then says what he’s seen of Paul is that he is a dime in a dozen loudmouth kid who does things for a reaction. Punk then says Paul thinks that makes him a generational talent, but the people deserve better. Paul then says Punk’s return was one of the biggest and greatest returns in WWE history, but he cracked under pressure and tore his tricep. Paul then says Punk is familiar to people like Steve Austin and John Cena. Paul then says it’s only a matter of time before the fans are chanting his name and another “CM Punk” chant breaks out.
Punk then says that while Paul says a lot of wrong things, he was right about the names changing that fans’ chants. Punk then says those names, including his own, are legends and history makers. Punk then says he’ll win the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber, face Rhodes and make history at WrestleMania 41, while Paul will be history and no one will think about him. Punk then says Rhodes already knows that he is Satan himself, something that Paul – a nobody– will find out on Saturday at Elimination Chamber. Paul then slaps Punk and immediately rolls out of the ring to avoid a beat down from Punk. As Paul retreats up the ramp and mockingly apologizes to Punk, Punk warns him to run while he can because he won’t have anywhere to run on Saturday. Punk then says Paul will know why the fans chant his name. Punk then sticks his tongue out to show that he is bleeding from the slap.

Rhodes then points out how judgmental Rollins sounds and says the reason The Rock asked him for his soul rather than Rollins is that Rollins’ soul may have already been sold out when he turned on The Shield to align with The Authority. Rhodes then says Rollins was his shield and partner at WrestleMania 4o and was also the MVP of the Premium Live Event. Rollins then says he’s been filled with hate lately and sometimes that’s pointed him in the right direction, but he doesn’t want to hate Rhodes.
