Your announcers are Joe Tessitore and Wade Barrett.
The Paulvengers assemble in the hallway as they make their way to the ring.
Paul starts the introduction but the crowd chants for Bron's opponent next week.
Paul says CM Punk could have been standing here but he had to placate to all of you and stop listening to him. Paul says we will start this all over.
Paul does his introduction. He says what he says hypes up where he is going on the last Raw of 2025. Everything he says justifies something that needs no justification. In five years when you scroll through whatever platform you are on and you will see the Wrestlemania main eventers.
Paul thanks the fans for chanting for Roman.
You will realize that five years ago, tonight, they are all standing in front of you, right here right now. Here is the sentence that matters. The rumors are true, the newest member of The Vision is Austin Theory. Paul tells Austin to earn his keep as he hands him the mic.
Theory says he has waited his entire life for this moment. He says he has worked his entire career for this moment. He says he has a lot of things he wants to talk about. First, he wants to talk about the next World Champion, Bron Breakker. Austin asks Paul to educate him on this part. Paul says the goals of the group outweighs the individual needs of any member of the group.
CM Punk's music interrupts and he makes his way to the stage.
Punk tells Theory is doing tricks and drinking gallons of the Kool Aid. He is not out here to listen to Austin, he is out here to listen to the other kid, Bron Breakker. He says he has been called many things. He hopes someone in the group has a brain. Punk says he is looking at Paul to explain to Bron that the match is set for next week. He says he could come down there to say some things and you will do stuff to him. Then there is no title match next week.
Punk asks if he is tougher than he is smart. He says he likes to look someone in the eye before he puts him to sleep. Unless you are scared, why don't we get your boys out of the ring so they can clear the air, face to face. Punk says he has a few things to say to Bron. He asks Bron if he is scared.
Punk gets on the ring steps.
Bron says the only one scared is you and he invites Punk into the ring. He says they won't hurt him.
Paul suggests that everyone back up and let Bron do his thing on the mic. They leave the ring and Punk enters.
Punk asks Bron what does he have and he calls him kid.
Bron asks why are they standing here. Why do they exist and why are they here. They look at things towards the future. They look through the same lens. Look at Bronson Reed. Look at Logan Paul. Look at Austin Theory. Then there is him. He will be the next World Champion. Bron says he is so tired of Punk and everyone else saying he is the future and he will figure it out and main event Wrestlemania. Bron says he is not the future, he is the now. You have the audacity to say that he is the new shiny toy. You say he will fail under the shining lights and they will drop him. Go to the back and find out someone who can do what he can do. Find someone who has taken over in less time. Find someone who was born into this business. Find someone who is a bigger dog than him.
Bron says you may not like him because he hasn't paid his dues. You think he has had everything handed to him and it was easy because of his lineage. Bron says everything he has had to do has been under a microscope. He has been held to the highest level. You don't respect him because I didn't do it on the indies, but I was on the field with Lamar Jackson. Bron says he is willing to die for that title and so are you. Bron says he will let Punk. He will put Punk in the ground, beat him,and become the new World Champion.
Punk says your first mistake is assuming what he thinks of you. Did you think he would say you aren't ready? You are more ready than anyone in the back and anyone in your group. Punk says he is not ready. You want what he's got. Punk drops the title belt and he asks Bron to pick it up. It is heavier than you think. Punk says he has earned it and he is not ready to go. He is not ready to go into sold out arenas to have the privilege to ask if it is good to be alive in Orlando on a Monday night. He is not ready to stop being champion. You are big, bad, tough, and fast. We are not the same. One of us is CM Punk.
Some day, somebody is going to beat him for the title, but it won't be you. Punk tells Bron he will see him next week.

Maxxine says the only thing she has stolen is the spotlight. She will prove it next week. You won't get to blame anyone after next week.
Becky says she came out to be nice. If you think four weeks of training in a dungeon will compare to a lifetime of what she has done. She says she didn't get there because it was given to her. She climbed over every injustice perpetrated on her. It isn't over until she wins and she finds a way to win. In one week, all eyes will be on you and you have to ask yourself if you are everything they think you are. Will you be everything that she knows you are.
