- CM Punk heads out to the ring, but considers a stage dive, but it's a little bit too far from the ramp to the crowd, lol. Punk says he's glad he didn't have to wrestle after that match. He says it's been a long time since pro wrestling has been in New York City. Punk says people want to see him get mad, like the old CM Punk, and he'll be along at some point, but be careful what you wish for. He turns his attention to Team Taz, says he wants to be mad (although it's tough when he sees an amazing crowd, what's there to be mad about?). He then recalls getting put down on a table last week by Powerhouse Hobbs. Punk says Team Taz doesn't want to see a love fest, they don't want to see him happy and having a good time. Punk continues it's been so long since he's had this and it pisses him off because nobody is taking wrestling away from him. He tells Team Taz should have broke his neck so tonight's crowd wouldn't be able to hear "Cult of Personality" and they made a big mistake. Says it's not his job to wake other wrestlers up, it's to put them to sleep! Punk says on Friday's Rampage, Hobbs is going to sleep. Punk gives Stephen Amell (sitting in the front row) a hug on his way out.
