CM Punk’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring, while being introduced by ring announcer Alicia Taylor. Corey Graves then checks in on commentary, while Cole says the venue is sold out. Punk gets in the ring, looks at the crowd and grabs a microphone. A loud “CM Punk” chant from the crowd then begins as he holds the microphone in the air. Punk then starts off by saying is it great to be alive on a Monday night in Houston, Texas or what. Punk then says when he came back he had a few goals. Punk then says one was to main event WrestleMania and the other was to be a World Champion. Punk then says one of those happened and he can now focus on the goal of being World Champion.

Punk then says last week he won a Gauntlet Match and that made him the #1 contender to GUNTHER’s World Championship. Punk then says GUNTHER is one of the best wrestlers in the world and he is looking very forward to lacing them up and facing him. Punk then says he cannot promise a win, but with everyone cheering him he can promise that he will leave it all in the ring. Punk then says he will not quit and he will give everything he has. Punk then says he looks at GUNTHER and he is one of the best in the world. Punk then says GUNTHER was the Intercontinental Champion for 666 days and in his second run as World champion.

GUNTHER then says Punk has a massive ego and the fans kept chanting his name. GUNTHER then says he doesn’t blame Punk for that. GUNTHER then says he has an ego too, but his is justified.

GUNTHER then says his ego is not based on what the fans think, that is worthless. GUNTHER then says his ego is based on results. GUNTHER then says Punk just listed his accolades. GUNTHER then says the best in the world is the man who holds the World Heavyweight Championship. Punk then nods and GUNTHER says at SummerSlam that bell will ring and when it does he will make Punk regret that he got into a ring. GUNTHER then says he will maul him, choke him out and drop him. GUNTHER then says Punk will wake up, looking at the lights and he will realize that he was right. GUNTHER then says he will never be World Champion and he will never be the best in the world. GUNTHER then says at least he has the degenerate fans chanting for him for the rest of his life. GUNTHER then drops the microphone and leaves the ring with his entrance music playing.

He then says that was Roman’s prime and he’s just taking up a spot and standing in his ring.
