We begin things with the man who could not oust Triple H as the COO and CM Punk makes his way to the ring with a bit of a limp due to last night’s match with Triple H and the things that happened towards the end.
Punk says that he has to admit that this particular building has never been super kind to him. He had to forfeit the World Championship one time, Bob Holly punched him so hard in the eye that he now has a dead spot. Now Punk says that he can barely turn his head and he is having trouble standing on his leg. Punk says that his pride is also hurt because he might have to admit that he was wrong.
R Truth and the Miz were right. There is a conspiracy here in World Wrestling Entertainment. It is not the one that Truth and Miz are talking about. It is a . . .
Punk is interrupted by Triple H and he is not in GameFountain attire tonight.
Punk stares a hole through Hunter before the COO speaks. Hunter says that he gives Punk credit because he is just as beaten up. He says that he can barely move too. They went to war last night but he is still the COO of the WWE. Hunter says that he is going to do his day job first.
The next pay per view is in two weeks and it is Hell in a Cell. John Cena made history on Sunday night by becoming the WWE Champion for a tenth time. Alberto Del Rio deserves his rematch. Hunter says that Punk deserves the rematch that he never received. For the first time ever, the WWE Championship will be contested in a Triple Threat Hell in a Cell Match.
Now it is time for Hunter to address Punk. Hunter says that he is not involved in this conspiracy and he had nothing to do with Kevin Nash’s attacks since SummerSlam. He also had nothing with Miz and Truth. He also did not cut Punk’s mic last week. Hunter takes off his jacket and he says that he has no problem going back to war with Punk right now.
Punk tells Hunter that he has no problem going back to war with Hunter either. Punk says that he was going to get to his point before Hunter interrupted him. Punk says that his pride was a bit hurt. They don’t like each other and someone is using that to their advantage. Somebody is playing both of them. Punk says that he should have realized that it wasn’t Punk, but it is someone who is using him. It is somebody higher up on the ladder than Hunter.
Punk says that he could go on about Truth and Miz . . .
But John Laurinaitis comes out and he says that he agrees about a conspiracy but he says that Punk is in the middle of it. He tells Hunter not to believe anything that Punk says. Punk is upset because he could not beat Hunter.
Punk says that he is upset because he figured out . . . but first he introduces John Laurinaitis and then he says that it is ironic that John wished him luck last night because John figured that he could be the COO if Hunter lost. He says that Truth and Miz were sent to the ring last night and cut off his mic last week. He was the one who got Nash involved at SummerSlam and Night of Champions.
John says that Hunter has lost control of the show because of Punk. He says that he already has a job as Executive Vice President of Talent Relations. He reminds Punk that Punk works for him. Hunter reminds John that he works for Hunter.
Hunter says that he is going to get to the bottom of this.
Laurinaitis blames Punk for this and then he fires CM Punk and wishes him the best in his future endeavors.
Hunter tells Punk that he is not fired. He says that if anyone is going to be fired, he will be the one to do the firing. Hunter says that by the end of the night, someone is going to get fired.
Hunter and John leave the ring while Punk stays in the ring.
