However, you haven't been known as much for the pipe bomb, but more as a husband. Knight says everyone wants love and needs love. Knight commends Punk for cultivating it. As good of a husband you seem to be, you are a trash champion. What did you have? Five minutes as world champion? At SummerSlam, Seth pinned your shoulders in the ring.

Jey says he will stop you there. He is finally thinking clear. His mind clear. He's the one. He's the one who never got his rematch. He's the one who's up next.
Knight wants to know if this is deja vu. They were in Paris and you are always complaining to him. You had the World Title. You lost it, your time came, and it went. While both of you think it is your time, it is his time. You lost the title because you aren't Roman enough. You aren't Roman and you won't be Roman and that is a good thing. You might want to focus on the tag titles, but you might want to stop sucking being a tag team.
