CM Punk comes out and he is alone this week. Punk says on Sunday at Fatal Four Way he will win his fourth heavyweight championship. It will make him a four time Straight Edge World Champion. Nobody in the history of the WWE has ever accomplished that. The only thing that would make that better would be if the Phenom would have been here to see it. He knows that a lot of people here have flunked out of high school so it has been a long time since their last history lesson. Punk says over that time they have killed billions of brain cells because of smoking their drugs or eating their pills or drinking their beer. Punk reminds everyone that he is the only person in the history of the WWE to make the Undertaker tap out. Punk takes a bow for that accomplishment.
Punk says that if it weren’t for the Phenom’s current vegetative state, he would make him tap out again. Punk wants to talk about vegetative states and he says that it looks like a lot of the people in the crowd are familiar with vegetative states. Punk says that just like he is not responsible for the crowd’s vegetative state, neither he nor any other member of the Straight Edge Society are not responsible for the Undertaker’s vegetative state. Punk says that it is hilarious that Taker is in a vegetative state and he wishes that he could claim that he is the one to have done it. Punk says that he wishes he could have seen the look on Undertaker’s face as he was being beaten to his point of no return. Punk says that when the perpetrator or perpetrators are revealed, he says that he will be the first person to shake their hands. Punk says that the entire WWE landscape has been so much better without the Undertaker.
The lights flicker and then they go out. When they come back on the Undertaker is in the ring. Punk slowly approaches Taker and touches him and then spins him around to the camera to reveal that it was Luke Gallows.
Punk and Luke get a good laugh out of the situation. Punk puts on the hat and mocks Taker’s pose.
Kane’s pyro goes off and he comes to the ring, but Jack Swagger attacks Kane from behind. The mystery masked member of the Straight Edge Society joins the attack to make it four on one. They hold Kane for Gallows to hit a splash. They pull Kane closer to the corner and hold him for Swagger to hit three double jump Vader Bombs.
Big Show and Rey Mysterio come to the ring and Swagger and the Straight Edge Society leave the ring and go to the ramp.
Rey has that look in his eye and Rey gives Kane a 619 followed by a choke slam from Big Show. Show kneels over Kane and tells Kane one last time that he had nothing to do with what happened to the Undertaker and nothing is going to stop him from becoming the next WWE Champion.
