CM Punk, Logan Paul, The Vision Segment

CM Punk: Is it great to be champ on a Monday night in the great state of New Mexico or what? I feel good, Rio Rancho, how are you feeling tonight? I said, I feel really good, but I didn’t get here alone, there is an entire litany of people to thank for getting me here. I appreciate the sentiment; we’re going to cover the difference between deserve and earned in a couple seconds here. I don’t want to make this sound like an overly saccharine Oscars Speech, there’s going to be people that I forget, so I’m going to keep it short and sweet. Number one with a bullet, hopefully sitting at home right now with little Larry, my smart, very funny, intelligent, beautiful, tough, mean when she needs to be, ass that won’t quit, AJ Lee. Thank you, babe, for always standing next to me in the bad times, so that we can stand next to each other, chest puffed out and enjoy the good times.

Now, number two, it’s all of you. Some call it, the WWE Universe, hell, to me, y’all just CM Punk fans. I don’t get here; I don’t get to get hold this above and call myself champion without each and every single one of you. Thank you, give yourselves a round of applause, you deserve it. The fourth person I would like to thank is Jey Uso, “Main Event” Jey Uso. Thank you for the tough match, thank you for the hard fight, I couldn’t have done it without you, and I appreciate you. You truly are main event, YEET. Now, I would like to think that going forward we can still be friends, but I understand if that can’t be. I won’t cry about it, because I said it originally when I came back to this place, almost two years ago, I did not come here to make friends, I came here to make money and become champion and now I’m back.

I don’t know how much time I’ve got left, but what I do know, and what SummerSlam taught me is I held onto this title after beating GUNTHER, and I held this title for what, three minutes. And it wasn’t long enough, so it tells me that, going forward, I need to hold onto this strap as tight as I possibly can. The good news, ladies and gentlemen, is there’s no snake in the grass, Seth Rollins, waiting in the wings, creeping around in the dark with a Money In The Bank Briefcase to cash in on me, no. Oh, one second, if you would indulge me.

Punk swings the World Heavyweight Title around like Seth Rollins.

CM Punk: Seth, that was for you, I hope you like it, speedy recovery. If you come back, and you try to get in my business, I’ll put you back on the couch. This title is validation. For two years, I came back, and I walked around the halls, a king without a crown, and now I’ve got the crown. And with the crown, comes a target, and I know there’s a target on my back, there’s a target on my front. And I look at that locker room full with bad ass talent, and I know every single Monday I show up, if I don’t tie my tights as tight as I possibly can, get my boots on as tight as I can, if I’m not what I say I am, The Best In The World, any given day, I could lose this title. And I know there’s already a line, I hear Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, I hear The Vision saying they’re coming for my gold. And listen, I want to be a fighting champion, and I want to be a fighting champion for a multitude of reasons. First one being, there’s a lot of people that I want to punch in the face.

Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Paul Heyman, you’re three of them. And I want to test myself against the best that this company has to offer, the best professional wrestlers walking the earth, right now. And I’m talking about guys, like, AJ Styles. Y’all chanting at me, you deserve it, well, he’s somebody who I think has earned the right to step up and get a title shot. Conversely, somebody that has two belts right now, and hasn’t earned or deserved a single one, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, and you can file you under who I want to punch in the face. The locker room is full of killers, and I’m talking about JD McDonagh, who’s an exceptional professional wrestler, and if I’m not me on my best day and he’s HIM on his best day, well, then this title could goodbye. Finn Balor, you’re another one I’m looking for, I’m not hiding from anybody. Sheamus, you want to have a banger? I’m your Huckleberry.

And finally, my contemporary, somebody who’s only got a few short dates left, John Cena. I know you’re busy, I know you don’t got long, but ladies and gentlemen, I’m not here for a long time, I’m here for a good time. If you want to try to be Mr. 18-Time World Heavyweight Champion, I’m your Huckleberry, you want some, come get some. Basically, New Mexico, what I’m saying is, anybody who’s earned it, anybody who deserves it, get in line, because the champ is here. No, no, no, wait. No! No! No! Hey, alright, I made a mistake, I spoke too soon. Alright, I want to be a fighting champion, but look, anybody but you, alright? I want nothing to do with your famous for nothing ass, anybody but you. Listen, listen, listen, I think blue is your color, why don’t you go to SmackDown, I hear it’s lovely this time of year. Ilja Dragunov is having an open challenge, and I think that’s more your lane. I think that’s what you should do. No! No!

Logan Paul: He said anyone, “The Noble” CM Punk, a man of his word, right? You said, more my lane, brother, I am a 1000% Horsepower Ferrari, that nobody in here can afford, by the way. Congrats, you’re broke, but you already knew that, that’s why you live here. You are a used Hyundai Civic, with upwards 270,000 miles, brother. I’ve been in the ring with Roman Reigns, with John Cena, with AJ Styles, that you mentioned, by the way, I beat him at WrestleMania. You boo, because you’re mad. Some of guys you name can’t say that. So, CM Punk, if anyone in this industry has earned a title shot, you know it, New Mexico know it, and I know that it’s me.

Paul Heyman: Gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and we’re about to take a walk all the way down to that ring. I heard the reference that there is a king without a crown. I don’t just see a King with a crown, I see a bitch without an owner. No, that’s for you, Mr. YouTube. The front of my line, my ass. The front of the line belongs to the man that pinned Roman Reigns, “The OTT” “The Tribal Thief” Bronson Reed. The front of the line belongs to the future of WrestleMania, Bron Breakker. You’re not the front of the line, you’re not even the back of the line, you’re on the line just waiting to get in line for an opportunity at a champion that has been champion for two days, which makes you 432 days short of when we were the World Heavyweight Champion. And need I remind you, I’m not the one that lost our title. Your move. You’re in the wrong place at the wrong time. Get to stepping, now.

Logan Paul: Newsflash, you snooze, you lose. You’re three pretty big guys; you’re pretty slow. I was here first. If you wanted the spot, you should’ve put a little pep in the step, and got some hustle, Mr. Hustle.

Bron Breakker: The reality of this is that he bought everybody two weeks to live, because we had to sit back there and be patient, right after we dropped Seth Rollins in the dirt. Had to be patient for weeks until a new champion is crowned. And congratulations, Punk, you had your moment, but The Dog isn’t waiting anymore. I’m coming for what belongs to me, and there’s nothing else that stands in my way, but a man who’s holding onto my championship and keeping it warm for me, and some dumbass YouTuber who thinks he’s tough. So, I suggest both of you get out of my ring or I will whip both of you, like a dog.

CM Punk: You see what’s going on here? Yeah, it’s time to fight, so are you going to fight with me or get the hell out of my ring?

The Kabuki Warriors Promo 

Kairi Sane: There will be no more disrespect shown to Asuka. Is that right?

Asuka: Yes, it is, yes, it is. Everyone needs to recognize that I am the one true legend of the Women’s Division. What we did last week was just a small taste of what we are capable of. We will keep tearing this division apart until we are given our rightful Tag Team Title Match. Bayley, we haven’t forgotten about you. Last week, out of the kindness of my heart, I let you walk away.

And there is no man on this planet that can stop me.

– Rey Mysterio makes his way down to the ring.

Rey Mysterio: You look surprised. Listen, Dom, on the real, you can say you’re the greatest champion of all-time, all day long, I don’t care, but I have to draw the line when you say you’re The King Of The Luchadores. Because every time you say that, it’s an insult to our family, the name, and you insult our blood. You really think you’re the greatest luchador of all-time, huh? What about El Santo, Blue Demon, Eddie Guerrero? You think you’re better than them?

Dominik Mysterio: You keep my father’s name out of your mouth. And, yes, I am better than them. El Santo, I’m better than him. Blue Demon, I’m better than him. Eddie Guerrero, you mentioned, I’m better than him. But there’s one luchador that I know for a fact that I’m better than, and you didn’t mention him, and that’s you.

Rey Mysterio: Listen, you can disrespect me all you want, I don’t care, but I’m not going to stand here and let you disrespect Lucha Libre.

Dominik Mysterio: Or what? What are you going to do? I see what all this is about, you’re jealous, I mean, look at you, you’re already stealing my mustache. But at the end of the day, you’re just here to cash in, because I made the Mysterio name relevant. And not only that, but I’ve already surpassed everything that you’ve ever done, in every way, shape and form. So, what am I gonna have to do, kick your ass, again? So, why don’t you listen to The King Of The Luchadores, and get out of my ring?

Rey Mysterio: Okay, okay, I’m gonna leave. But before I leave, please, understand three things. As long as I’m around, you will never be King Of The Luchadores. As long as I’m around, this will never be your ring. And as long as I’m around, you will never be the greatest Mysterio.

Becky Lynch Promo 

Shut up, Joe Tessitore, The Man has come around, and I’ve got a lot to get off my chest, because I’ve been going through a lot the last few weeks, okay? I’ve got a hot husband who’s injured at home. The Vision has lost their god damn minds and have ruined everything. I’ve been saddled with a crooked with referee who’s hell bent on holding me down. And now through all of that, Adam Pearce sends me home to cool down. Okay, cool down? I’m cool, okay. I’m the definition of cool. Oh, shut up, you wouldn’t know what cool is. The only cool thing to come out of New Mexico is a show about how much meth you do. You know who’s not cool? Maxxine Dupri is not cool. But she’s lucky, okay, because she got to step in the ring with me, and live to tell about it, and now she won’t shut up about it.

She won’t shut up about it, because you idiots make her feel like she belongs, she does not. Let me tell you something, Maxxine, you don’t survive in this business by being lucky, you survive by being good. But lucky for me, I’m not just good, I am the greatest female wrestler of all-time, and it’s not just me saying it, other people say it, Sports Illustrated says it, Bleacher Report says it. Because I am lifelong student of the game, and this, Maxxine, isn’t a test you can cram for, but try, please, try as you will, take all the time that you want, train with the best of the best, it won’t make a difference, do you know why? Because the next time you step in the ring with me, one wrong move, and it won’t just be the biggest opportunity of your career, it will be your last. Welcome to The Big Time.

– We get a brand-new promo teaser for WrestleMania 42 with Cody Rhodes, CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Brock Lesnar. Roman is the spotlight this week. When he’s in the game, the table acknowledges him. WrestleMania Vegas, It’s The Tribal Chief’s Game.

– We see Paul Heyman walk up to Jey Uso in the locker room. Heyman says that Jey was always his favorite member of The Bloodline, because he always kept him guessing. He can’t figure out why Jey would team with the man that prevented him from becoming the World Heavyweight Champion. Not that Jey owes Heyman an explanation or anything, he does have a lot of people in his ear, but Punk fought him one-on-one like a man, he respects that. Jey doesn’t care about what The Tribal Chief, Jimmy or the world has to say about him, all he cares about is what Jey Uso says now. Heyman likes that, it saves him from having a very difficult conversation that he was tasked to having. He asked The Bron’s to not get involved, but the leash is out, and it’s an all-out war against the entire roster. It’s not a matter of if you’re with The Vision or not, if you get in their way, you’re going to get your ass kicked every single week. That doesn’t apply to Jey, because he has a vision all of his own, and Heyman likes it. Heyman wishes Jey good luck.

First up, a brawl that might go all over Boston, “The Bulgarian Brute” Rusev goes one-on-one with former World Heavyweight Champion, punishment personified, Damian Priest. Next, in what should be a certified banger, “The King Of Strong Style” Shinsuke Nakamura will battle “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus.
