Jerry and Michael talk about what happened to Ryback at the end of Raw and CM Punk’s music starts to play and he comes to the ring with his official belt wrangler, Paul Heyman.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Paul Heyman introduces himself and he says that he wants to break tradition. He says that he was leaving home to fly to Greensboro, North Carolina and he noticed that his children were reading the updated WWE Encyclopedia. Paul says that he is not shilling for your Christmas and Hanukkah lists because he does not like this book. There is not enough about your reigning and defending WWE Champion CM Punk. However, to give credit where credit is due, there is something inside the Encyclopedia that they did not even notice.

Today is day 379 of CM Punk’s current title reign. At midnight, he will tie and tomorrow at midnight, he will surpass John Cena as the longest reigning continuous WWE champion of the modern era.

Paul says that to his massive and sole credit, he is the longest reigning champion of the last 25 years. That is a quarter century. Now you will have to agree with him that CM Punk is not only your champion, not only the best in the world, but now there is no argument that CM Punk should be front and center on WWE’s version of Mount Rushmore.

Punk says that he still stands in front of everyone unfairly persecuted. He has proven for more than a year that he is the best in the world. If there was a Mount Rushmore of WWE, the face that would go over the Hulk Hogans, John Cenas, Steve Austins, and Undertakers would be his.

He says that the fans do not give him the respect that he deserves. He defeated Ryback at Hell in a Cell. He defeated John Cena and Ryback at Survivor Series. Why does he have to defend his title at TLC against Ryback in a Table, Ladders, and Chairs Match? It is because of the people who turned their backs on him and ignore his accomplishments. Punk says that is the people who cannot hold a job as long as he has been champion or the people who cannot stay married as long as he is champion.

First it was Paul Heyman, the middle aged father of two who was the reason Punk is champion. Then it was Rogue Referee Brad Maddox. Then it was The Shield.

Punk says that if it wasn’t for the Shield, he wouldn’t be champion. That is a lie. Punk says that the truth is that if it wasn’t for him, no one would be here today. He is the reason why people bought their tickets to see Raw. Punk says that he is the reason why people watch Raw and if it wasn’t for him there would be nothing to watch on these dismal three hour Raws.

Punk says that he had nothing to do with Brad Maddox or the Shield, but he is responsible for being the hottest thing going in the WWE today. Punk tells people to change their channels at home. Punk tells everyone to get out of his arena right now.

Miz’ music plays and he comes out to the stage. Miz with a few reallys. Miz tells everyone to sit down and enjoy themselves. When you talk about the Best in the World, Brad Maddox, or the Shield, no one believes Punk.

Miz says that Punk talks about these lies and we know the truth.

Punk wants to know who the Miz is to come out and pass judgment on him.

Miz says that he is the guy who cheated and scammed when he was the champion. At least he has the guts to admit it. Everyone knows that Brad Maddox was in Punk’s back pocket at Hell in a Cell. Everyone knows that The Shield bailed him out at Survivor Series. If it wasn’t for the Shield last week, Ryback would have fed himself some Punk.

Punk tells Mike to make his way to the ring in his Gucci shoes and get put to sleep.

Miz says that he does not have to fight or wrestle. Miz challenges Punk to come on the most must see talk show in the WWE, MizTV to prove that he is not affiliated with the Shield by taking a lie detector test. Miz says that the Sherriff’s Department was more than happy to provide him with the equipment.

Paul wants to make sure that he understands what Miz is saying. Paul reminds Miz how Punk feels about him behind the scenes.

Miz tells the human walrus that is exactly what he is suggesting.

Punk says that he will not let the people of Greensboro call his good friend a walrus.

Miz says that they are sorry that Paul is a really big walrus. He wants Punk live on TV with a live mic. He wants to hear the Pipe Bomb. Miz says that he wants to let Punk prove his legacy and clear his record by showing that he is the best in the world. Maybe Punk is afraid of the truth and maybe he wants to have an asterisk next to everything, including his 379 day title reign.

Punk tells Miz that if he wants the truth, he will give Miz what he wants. Punk says that he will prove that he is the best in the world. Then everyone will have to admit it.
