Dolph says that he is not out here to hide behind his former manager. He is out here for one reason and one reason only . . . the truth. The Truth cannot be denied. We go to the photos and videos.

We go to commercial.
We are back and Michael Cole and Jim Ross are in the ring. Cole mentions that Jerry Lawler had a heart attack nine weeks ago. Jim Ross welcomes back Jerry Lawler.
Jerry says that he has no idea what to say right now because it is so overwhelming. He thanks everyone. He says that there was a time when he did not think he would ever step back in a WWE ring again so this is beyond words for him. He does not want to get corny or cheesy, but he says that this is like It’s a Wonderful Life. Jerry says that it took a near death experience for him to realize how many friends and fans that he had and he thanks everyone for their prayers. Jerry says from the bottom of his heart, he appreciates it.
CM Punk’s music plays and Jerry leaves the ring. Punk and Heyman make their way to the ring.
Punk chuckles a bit and then he looks at Jerry and he says that he is glad that Jerry left the ring when he did because if he didn’t he would have beaten him to death . . . again. Punk says not to boo him because what he says might be in bad taste or disrespectful. Jerry is the conquering hero. He fought death and came back. He is a real life zombie.
Punk says that Jerry’s behavior is disrespectful. What he does is in bad taste. A sixty-two year old man putting on his gear and thinking that he can relive his glory days with the World Champion is in bad taste. What did Jerry think was going to happen when you go toe to toe with the best in the world.
Punk talks about the hate mail and nasty tweets blaming him for the heart attack. Blame falls squarely on the shoulders of the King. Punk says shame on Jerry Lawler for stealing his spotlight with the heart attack stunt. Punk says that he doesn’t care about how long Jerry was clinically dead because the number that is important to him is 358 because that is the number of days that he has been champion. He tied Diesel as the ninth longest champion in WWE history. He says that you can dismiss his title reign or Diesel’s but next week will be day 365 and he will be champion for a year. He will beat Ryback and John Cena on Sunday.
Punk says that he is glad that Lawler is back because Jerry will have a front row seat to experience what Punk does best. He tells Lawler not to croak before the pay per view.

Punk suggests that Lawler get in the ring.
Paul Heyman collapses in the ring and Punk makes the ‘X’ signal and demands help for Paul. Punk wants to know why everyone is standing around. Paul makes a miraculous recovery and then Heyman laughs at Lawler. Punk tells Paul that he almost gave him a heart attack.
Mick Foley’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Foley tells Punk that it doesn’t cease to amaze him that someone who demands respect refuses to give it to someone who commands respect like Jerry Lawler.
Punk tells Foley to show some respect for Paul Heyman because he just saved Paul’s life. He wonders why Foley is even out here because they are no longer the respective captains. He tells Foley to worry about the hole on his team.
The WWE Universe will pick the final member of Team Foley. Punk tells Foley that he shouldn’t care what the WWE Universe thinks because they can’t think. Punk says that he stopped giving a damn what others thought about him. Punk says that Foley should call his team ‘Team Worthless’.
Foley tells Punk that Jerry Lawler was dead. Through miracles, hopes, prayers, and the thoughts of the WWE Universe, Jerry is still here today. The world does not revolve around Punk. The fact that Jerry Lawler is still here has nothing to do with Punk. Foley says that he was overseas when he heard about the change to the Survivor Series match because he wanted to be part of a team that could teach Punk about respect. Punk doesn’t give a damn. Punk will be in a position where John Cena and Ryback will strip the title from him.
Punk says that no one has learned how to beat him for 358 days. Foley will not be able to teach anyone how to beat him. Punk says that Foley does not matter and none of this involves him.
Foley says that some of this involves him because Mick tells Punk that he will be the guest enforcer in the match between CM Punk and John Cena . . . right here . . . in Columbus, Ohio.
