He could not celebrate his victory because two people who were supposed to be fired jumped the rail, entered the cell, and attacked him. It happened because of Triple H. He says that Hunter cannot run this company. In the moment he became victorious, the cell magically got raised so John Cena and the hooligans could enter the ring.

Hunter says that we are out here for a vote of confidence so that means that everyone gets to tell him how he is doing as the boss of Raw.

Hunter says that they should be apologizing to everyone for being a bunch of babies. Hunter says that he is not mad at them for what they did, but for their reaction to the punishment.

Hunter says that he would bet his life that the WWE Universe enjoys it too. At the end of the day, isn’t that who we work for . . . all of them? At the end of the day, isn’t it the WWE Universe who signs our paychecks?

Hunter says that he is curious for their opinions.
Wade Barrett says that he has been nominated by the people at ringside to voice his grievances. He says that they think that Triple H has created an unsafe working environment.
