We are back and Michael Cole is in the ring to bring out one of the most respected announcers in wrestling. A man who was the voice of the business for 30 years. He brings out Jim Ross.
Cole congratulates Jim on JR Appreciation Night in his home town of Oklahoma City to call Raw on his night. He asks him how he feels.
Jim is interrupted by CM Punk and Paul Heyman and Punk has unzipped his hoodie halfway.

The people respect Jim and they are here to shower him with respect. Punk says that they do not know the first thing about respect.
Punk says that he is the Best in the World. Punk says that he deserves respect but the people twist and turn what he says. The people turned their back on him. Punk wants to show everyone how to treat someone who deserves respect.
That is why Jim is going to help him teach everyone respect by telling everyone that Punk is the Best in the World
Jim says that he is glad that Punk is not going to embarrass him tonight because Punk has done a good job making himself look like a jackass over the last few weeks.
Punk says that he wishes he could say that he was not disappointed in Jim. He comes out here when everyone else treats him like crap and then he says that they have something in common, but Jim does not respond in kind?

Is it Stone Cold? Lawler and Austin cannot help him. 3:16 used to mean that Jim’s buddy Stone Cold would get his hand on you.

He has called matches involving Triple H and the Undertaker. Steve Austin and those men have one thing in common. They weren’t asked to be called the best in the world. If they asked he would have called them the Best in the World because they earned it.
Jim says that with no disrespect, the bottom line is that Punk accept John Cena’s challenge for Hell in a Cell. If he can beat John Cena, he will be the first person to look CM Punk in the eye and tell him that he is the best in the world. Until then, they have nothing to talk about.

What we have here is a squared circle. Inside this squared circle, men fight. They don’t run away. He has never run away and he never will. If Jim Ross is smart, he will walk away. If Jim does not put his hands up and defend himself, he will knock Jim into next week and he will never commentate a match again. He tells Jim to fight him or leave.

Punk asks Jim if he thinks he is going to allow Jim to go back to the announce table to spin his rhetoric. He says that Jim does not get to do what he loves any more.
