We take a look at last week's contract signing.
CM Punk makes his way to the ring because his music starts to play.
Punk says he doesn't know where to begin, but they told him the best television audiences were overseas but he knew they were coming to Chicago. Punk takes the camera and he shoots the crowd. Punk says that is why they don't listen to 'them' or outside voices. He says he is not supposed to be here. He was born with a cord around his neck. He was blue and they had to bring him back to live. He says he wasn't supposed to be here. No matter where he shows up, his goal is to make new fans every time. Punk apologizes for not getting new fans, but he wanted to thank his friends and family in Chicago.
When they tell you that you are not supposed to be here, who is going to tell him to leave. He says nothing has changed just because he is main eventing Wrestlemania. Punk mocks Dwayne and the goosebumps.
Punk says he earned it. It started in the backyards of Chicago when they told him he wasn't supposed to be there. He went to Steel Domain. He signed a contract and he was told not to be here. He was in a gangster suit for John Cena's entrance and he was told he isn't supposed to be here. Punk says now, the hard work begins. He says he is a product of this town. Punk says someone might be mad at him for people chanting his name, but he knows Larry won't be mad. There are way too many people to thank to get him where he needs to be. He figured that was a good start. He wouldn't be who he is or where he is because of this city. Now, the hard work begins because he has a date at Wrestlemania and he promises he will whip Seth Rollins' ass. He is going to put a beating on Roman Reigns in the main event of Wrestlemania.
Paul Heyman interrupts and he makes his way to the ring. He apologizes for being late and he says it is no disrespect to the Second City or to his best friend CM Punk.
Punk thanks Paul and welcomes him into the ring. Punk says Paul can't escape the ECW chants.
Paul says don't ask Chciago what they can do for their wise man, ask what your wise man can do for you. Paul says he wanted to be the voice for the voiceless and he tells Punk that he belongs here. He belongs in this ring, he belongs in Chicago, and he belongs in the main event of Wrestlemania. The last time they were in the ring together was because of what Solo, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu did to him. Paul talks about Punk winning Hell in a Cell and contemplating not coming back but Paul went to Punk and he said he had no one else to help him. You said yes and you saved the Family. You saved the Bloodline. You deserve all the credit in the world. Paul says he has one more favor for Punk.
Punk says he is stockpiling favors and he asks Paul what is the favor.
Paul wants to know what the favor is. He says Roman is coming and he is not in a good mood. Paul asks Punk if he knows what happens when a Samoan is not happy.
Punk asks if Roman is not here yet.
Paul says he is training.
Punk says the favor has to deal with Roman so he wants to tell Roman as well as Paul and he will tell him later tonight.
