CM Punk is introduced and he makes his way to the ring. Punk takes the mic and there are loud "CM Punk" chants. Punk talks about how he wanted to be a "professional wrestler" as a kid and how big it was winning the WWE title at MSG last night. Punk said he won the title on his own terms, and the game of hot potato with the WWE title is over. Loud "CM Punk" chants again. Punk then says that he's the new face of WWE and then sits down. Punk says that he wants to be an agent of change, and asks where the hell the WWE ice cream bars are. Punk said that he also wants to change the term interim RAW GM John Laurinaitis to former RAW GM John Laurinaitis. John Laurinaitis immediately comes out.
Laurinaitis said that they both want what's best for the WWE Universe and congratulates Punk and wonders why Punk has an issue with him. Punk said that he didn't hear a word since the crowd was chanting "You suck." Punk said that Laurinaitis is a stereotypical stooge, and that he calls the fans the "WWE Universe" when they are fans. Punk calls him a poor excuse for middle management and calls him a stooge. Laurinaitis said that Punk has him wrong, and that he has a wild side and can be just as creative as Punk, and he's going to prove it now. He says that Del Rio will get his return match against Punk next week on RAW.
Punk mocks Laurinaitis and asks why they don't have it now. Laurinaitis said that he has other plans for tonight, and Punk will face Dolph Ziggler in a champion vs. champion match tonight. Punk said that it's stupid, and that Laurinaitis doesn't listen to the fans. Punk says that they don't want to see Ziggler vs. Punk, and they fans start chanting "We want Ryder." Punk says that the fans want Ziggler vs. Ryder, and Laurinaitis responds by saying that Ryder is facing Del Rio tonight. Punk starts walking up the ramp and says that he'll beat Ziggler tonight, Del Rio next week, and some day someone will beat some sense into Laurinaitis. Punk heads to the back and Laurinaitis starts texting.

A twitter update appeared on the screen with static showing a youtube link (Youtube.com/itbegins2012). This takes you to the video below, that says someone will return to take back what is theirs. I haven't heard anything officially yet, but my guess is that it's leading to an Undertaker return.
