Byron is in Interstital Zone with Rusev. He asks why did he attack Sheamus.
Rusev says he came back, did his friend Sheamus congratulate him or challenge him to a fight. He couldn't accept the loss so last week, he had to cheat to win.

Gunther makes his way to the ring.
Gunther says last week was a clean victory for him. Gunther says he went toe to toe on the microphone with the supposedly best talker in the business, supposedly best in the world. Gunther confirms it was against CM Punk. He walked down the aisle, looked him straight in the eye, and told him what was going to happen at SummerSlam. He left the voice of the voiceless speechless.
Gunther says he made CM Punk understand he doesn't deserve to call himself the best in the world. He will not be the World Champion. He made CM Punk shut the hell up.
CM Punk's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Punk asks about speechless. Punk says he was more dumbfounded. Not because of what Gunther said or did, but it dawned on him, standing across the ring from someone as great as Gunther, that he doesn't want to be World Champion. Punk says he needs to be world champion. He says he needs to be world champion like he needs air in his lungs. He needs it like he needs his heart to pump blood through his veins. He says he needs it like the Red Wings need a 12th Stanley Cup. He needs it like a Midwestern dad needs an Old Style when mowing the lawn. Punk says this place, wrestling is his addiction. He needs to be champion so he can raise the strap over his head as a thank you to the millions who have chanted his name for ten years.
That might be a consolation prize to you, but it means more to him. He says he needs to be champion. You dare come out and say that Punk doesn't deserve to call himself the best in the world? Punk says Gunther is correct. Punk says he earned that right and he earned the right to be arrogant about it. You are out here as champion being as arrogant as Punk, but you cannot back it up. He has beaten legends and Hall of Famers that you can only dream of. When you compare careers, it isn't apples to apples.
Punk tells Gunther he isn't finished. You are not on his level for as great as you are. Saturday night, he is leaving as World Champion. At you will finally share the ring with the best in the world.
