She says she doesn't care how big Giulia is in Japan, but she is so much bigger all over the globe. She says a wise man once said the would rather be hated for who they are than loved for who they are not.
Punk says that Roxanne is on her way to be hated. He says he loves that she came out to interrupt him. The balls on Roxanne. If anyone can appreciate an overconfident champion, it is her. The chip on her shoulder, he had it too. It was the size of you. Punk says that chip made him the best in the world. That chip (he points at the title belt) makes you the best. Maybe not in NXT, but in the entire WWE. He says he watched Bianca Belair and Iyo Sky on Raw and the entire time, she was thinking about someone who would fit in, Roxanne. Who might be better than these two women? Roxanne. It won't matter when you get your ass handed to you in Chicago by Giulia.
