They know.  They know that you were the best in the world for seven minutes, fourteen years ago.  If after Night of Champions, you are delusional enough to believe you are the best in the world, it is a small world after all.

Cena tells USA he doesn't need the last two and a half minutes because Elvis has left the building and he doesn't need any more mother fudging time.  He thanks Punk for letting him steal his promo.

We go to credits.
