Drew McIntyer enters the arena and he makes his way to the ring.
The crowd is confused as they chant for CM Punk and Drew says if they were in Atlanta or Charlotte, Punk might be here, but they are in Greenville and Punk only plays the big towns. Drew says the greatest trick CM Punk ever did was looking like he was on drugs while never doing any. He keeps breaking your trust. You keep taking him back and it is like an abusive relationship.

Drew says he would say something to Punk but he isn't here. Drew says he knows that Priest worked his arse off and deserves all the success in the world, but he doesn't deserve to be champion. Drew says his neighbor Dave has a great story, but he shouldn't be champion. Drew says the championship needs a man to hold the title and the title needs Drew McIntyre. Drew says Priest couldn't beat him one on one so he needed the briefcase.
Priest says Drew is delusional and he blames everyone for his loss. You chose this life.
Drew says he has been doing this since he was 21.
Priest tells Drew to look at himself in the mirror and blame that asshole. Priest says he wanted to cash in on Seth and then they could have gone to war at Wrestlemania. You stopped him multiple times and that was your fault. Priest says Drew talked about waiting until he beat Seth and then cash in. That is on you At Wrestlemania, all you had to do was leave but you saw Punk and you made Punk more important than yourself and this championship. You made Punk more important than your wife. You got your ass whipped by a one armed man.
Your elbow is going to heal and you are going to be cleared. You want a title match, you got it. He tells Drew that he can call him a paper champion, but you will eat those words.
