- CM Punk makes his entrance out for the opening match. He gets to the apron and MJF's music hits. Out strolls MJF and heads to the ring as the crowd chants "ass****!" MJF tells Punk it doesn't feel so good to get interrupted, does it? "Shut the f***" chant ensues. MJF recaps last week when he offered up a handshake and Punk just left. He says it was almost like the time he took the ball and went home like "a little b****." He brings up the pipebomb promo and says that was his best moment. MJF continues that every MJF moment is the best moment, he's not a one-trick pony like Punk.

He says he's proud of Punk for being straight edge, but never thought someone like that would look so much like a meth addict. MJF brings up Punk doing interviews about who he'd like to face and it was everyone except for MJF. He knows it's just because Punk doesn't want it. MJF says Punk doesn't wanna go one-on-one on the stick? Well, too bad, "I'm gonna finish you quicker than your UFC career." MJF says Punk can drop all the pipebombs he wants because he drops nukes. Punk finally goes and gets a mic. "I'm so disappointed in you," Punk says to a confused MJF.

He says he appreciates MJF introducing himself last week, he didn't know his name was Maxwell. He thought MJF was "my jealous fan." Punk says he never mentioned him because he didn't want to feed his rotten ego. Punk says he knows MJF has a poster of him on his wall. Punk says last week he shut up the great MJF without saying a word. Punk says MJF had a whole week for zingers and went for the lowest hanging fruit. He says MJF thinks he's revolutionary when in reality he's "just a less famous Miz." MJF says that's "almost what I wanted" from Punk. Crowd with a "Miz" chant. MJF says Punk has been struggling to beat lower talent. He notices Punk's breath smells like s***, probably because he's been kissing so much ass. He makes fun of Punk being so happy and does a robotic Punk promo. "You've gone soft. This is PG Punk. You might as well be out here preaching hustle, loyalty and respect."

MJF says Punk claimed he came back to face young talent, but also a boatload of money. MJF says he wanted to fix a broken wrestling landscape, but stayed home for seven years. MJF makes fun of Punk doing comics and movies that nobody read/watched. MJF thinks it's because CM Punk was scared he couldn't hang anymore. He knows Punk envies him. He also knows Punk hates him because he's everything that promoters love, while he was a scrawny kid that had to claw his way up. MJF says Punk has always been second best, either to John Cena or Triple H. Now he's in MJF's ring and MJF's company.

Punk says there is some truth to that, some being scared, wondering if fans still remembered him. Punk says he was selling out Madison Square Garden when MJF was marking out for Rosie O'Donnell. He then mentions MJF did a musical that made it into New York Times. Want to sing a song now? Punk says MJF talk too much. Punk says he wanted Darby Allin first, instead of MJF and that chews MJF up. Punk says MJF can't win without his backup. Punk also notes MJF isn't even in the four pillars anymore because he's been replaced by Britt Baker! Punk says he's fine with being called number two. Punk asks MJF if he thinks he's number one? The only way he'll be number one is if Tony Khan has a daughter and MJF marries her. Punk says last time he was in Chicago, he gave away ice cream bars, but this time he wants to give the crowd something else, punching MJF. They look to square up, but MJF rolls out of the ring and goes to the back.
