Paul wants to know if they are upset with CM Punk for successfully defending the title against John Cena and Ryback.
Are they mad because they made fun of Jerry Lawler. When CM Punk and him give them a taste of attitude after the people yearn for the Attitude Era, they boo him. They will chant ECW at him, but when they are given the Extreme, they boo him.
The WWE Universe cannot handle the greatness of the WWE Champion when he comes into the ring and makes history by raising the bar so high. This man for whom this celebration is for, stands heads and shoulders above the rest. Not just for today but for all time.
It is time to put a smile on your faces because this is a celebration. A celebration of 365 glorious days of the reign of the current and reigning WWE Champion, the best in the world.
CM Punk is introduced and he makes his way to the ring.
Punk allows Paul to keep his mic and Paul is so happy.

Paul says that when he was taking photos in Madison Square Garden. He got to know Bruno Sammartino. He likes Bruno and Paul says that Bruno should be in the Hall of Fame. Punk will be a first ballot Hall of Famer. Bruno could never beat CM Punk.
Hulk Hogan could never beat CM Punk. Another ‘Paul Heyman guy’, Steve Austin could never on his best day beat CM Punk. At the Royal Rumble, not even the Rock will be able to beat CM Punk.

There were a lot of them, but to beat Ryback and John Cena single handedly made it to number one with a bullet. Many thought he was going to lose.
