Chavo thanked Edge for that touching tribute and said Edge is his familia, his brother, and his friend. He then cut a promo on Edge getting a piece of Rey for what he did to Vickie. Chavo addressed the fans and said, "I told you so." Boos from the crowd. Chavo said they didn't want to listen to him, though. He said C.M. Punk is not the future of this business. The fans chanted, "You suck" while one of the Mariachi players smiled. Chavo paused, then said Punk was nothing more than a stepping stone for him. He said 2008 is his year to become champion again. Chavo announced himself as the new ECW champion, then he flashed the title belt for the hard camera. Chavo invited everyone to celebrate his championship and called for a fiesta.

The Mariachi men started to play again, and they were being led by a mystery Mariachi player with his back to Chavo. Chavo then did a little dance before red and green balloons fell from the ceiling. Armando clapped it up for Chavo, then Chavo bumped into the mystery Mariachi player. Suddenly, the mystery Mariachi player turned around and smashed his guitar over Chavo's head. The mystery Mariachi player took off his hat to reveal C.M. Punk with a fake 'stache. Punk then ripped off the 'stache and grabbed the ECW belt from Chavo, who was KO'ed on the mat while covered in balloons. Punk's music hit as the crowd popped for Punk's somewhat heelish attack on Chavo. They rolled a video replay and Punk had this greatest-ever look on his face (with the 'stache accentuating the greatness of the image) right before he smashed Chavo. Punk stood tall in the ring over Chavo to close the show.
