Punk then told Vince McMahon that he doesn't understand how Daniel Bryan wasn't figuring into Vince's main event plans for Wrestlemania because "he is white hot" just like two years ago when Punk was and Vince didn't go with Punk then. [Note from Mike Johnson: At the time this took place,. Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan was set to be fifth from the top at Wrestlemania 30.] Punk told Vince said instead, "You fed me to this guy" and pointed to Hunter.
Vince said this, "was the concussion talking" and Punk was indeed working a main event at Wrestlemania 30, because, "You're wrestling Triple H."
Punk said he turned to Triple H and politely said, "All due respect, I do not need wrestle you. You need to wrestle me. I do not want to wrestle you. I seriously resent you for not putting me over three years ago when you should have. That would have been best for business but you had to f***ing come in and squash it. Then, I had to lose to f***ing Truth and Miz. Like, it didn't make any business sense then and it doesn't make any business sense now and I'm in a position now where I can tell you that I don't have to nor do I want to wrestle you at Wrestlemania."
Punk said he didn't care if he was supposed to win, which he was. "I didn't want to give him the f***ing privilege."
Punk said that HHH was gritting his teeth and never liked Punk. He said it was one of those situations where you hear stories in the dirt-sheets [Mike: I hate that stupid term] how Hunter says this about Punk and all that but when he and Hunter were in a room alone together, "Never any good vibes. Always negative. The way he would look sideways at me. The way he looked at me. For instance, a simple courtesy call - 'Hey, that is the European tour. You can't do the movie. We've going to have Randy do it.' - but he thought he didn't have to do that, because I was a piece of sh**."
Cabana pointed out that when Punk was super-hot in 2011, HHH came out of retirement and beat him and then went back into retirement.
Punk said that Hunter said that Punk WAS in the main event of Wrestlemania last year, vs. Undertaker, and that he had the best match. Punk said, "I'm not f***ing stupid. The main event is the last match." He said WWE promotes it as a bunch of main events but everyone knows what the true main event is, the final match. Punk said that he deserved it then and at that point [January 2014] Daniel Bryan deserved it and he told Vince and Triple H, "You are just going to give it to Bautista and Randy?"
Punk asked that when you look at the guys on the WWE roster, to ho and see how many were actually in the main event of Wrestlemania. Punk explained that he needed to go be in that position and work with people at the same or better level so he could be a better asset to the product and draw more. He said that NHL players have to play with other NHL players to get better and he needed to work at that top level so he could improve.
Punk said he was told he wasn't a draw, but would ask them, "How do you know?" He said whenever he was given the ball, he tossed it, caught it and then shoved it down their throats but at the end of the day "It was an old, out of touch man's decision." e
Punk said that WWE changed it's plans when he walked and he was "so f***ing stoked" that Daniel Bryan got to have that main event at Wrestlemania.
Going back to the conversation with Vince McMahon and Triple H, Punk said that Hunter tried to tell him that he was in the main against Undertaker to which Punk replied, "Tell me I got the same amount of money as you, Brock, Cena, Rock, whoever" and, "Once again, he had nothing to say."
Vince stood up with tears in his eyes. Punk offered his hand and Vince hugged him and Punk lightly patted him on the back. Hunter offered his hand and Punk shook his hand and said, "Goodbye" and walked out. That was the last time he's seen either.
