The title belt is in the ring.

He says he has not been in Jey's position because he listens to himself. It is harder to deal with situations like this when you are ready to lose.

He says Jey has what it takes, but how far are you willing to go? He is not asking Big Jim's brother or Little Roman. He is asking Main Event Jey Uso. How far are you willing to go? You are not the only one who needs to be champion again. The small amount of time he held the title at SummerSlam was not enough. He needs that title like he needs air in his lungs.
Punk says he knows how far he is willing to go. When I have you knocked out on the mat when you cannot YEET your way out of it, how far are you willing to go?
Jey tells Punk they should go. He says he has been in deep waters before and he can swim. You are trying to get people to think you are the man to get behind. You are going to paint him as the bad guy. He tells Punk 'screw you'. Saturday he will show who is the best in the world.
