HHH says some people actually like WWE the way it is. Could it be better? Sure, he says, and that's why he's here. HHH says Punk only wants change if CM Punk is on top. HHH says Punk is no different than anyone else who has been in this business, including him. HHH says he looked people in the eye and told them he was going to step on them. HHH says Punk is doing it the opposite way, the back door way. Punk says he isn't trying to be a martyr and isn't trying to step on anyone. Punk says he wants everyone to like what they see, not just half. Punk wants it to be fun again. Punk says right, he is doing this for himself. Punk says before he became a wrestler, he was a fan, and at his core he is still a fan. Punk says he will do what he knows is for the better and what will make WWE fun again. Punk says he says bad things about Stephanie McMahon because it's fun but also to push Triple H's buttons. Punk says Triple H failed, he is just like Vince McMahon.

HHH goes to sign the contract but Punk tells him to hold up. Punk goes on and says HHH has lost touch. He's the guy who likes to point at his crotch and tell people to suck it. Punk says he wants change. Triple H says if Punk wants change, he's going to get it. HHH says this is how he's not like Vince and signs the contract. HHH says Vince would have got in the ring with Punk at Night of Champions and taken a beaten because it's good for business. HHH says it's not business between he and Punk, it's personal.
