Punk speaks first and says he's fascinated that the whole world is watching to see what they say tonight. Punk says he respects Triple H, especially for last week when he fired that charisma vacuum and ratings killer Kevin Nash. Punk says that doesn't mean he likes Triple H and knows Triple H doesn't like him either. Punk says people have told him all the horrible things Triple H says behind his back. Punk is also a good judge of character and can see it all over Triple H's face. Punk goes on and the crowd chants his name. Punk talks about change and says nothing has changed since Vince McMahon left. Punk says Triple H is just as bad. Punk says Vince and Triple H believe that a guy who looks like him don't belong in a ring with a guy who looks like The Game. Punk says Triple H and Vince have had this weird bodybuilder fetish. Punk says guys who fit Triple H's image get 10 times the opportunity. Triple H cuts him off and brings up Shawn Michaels, Mick Foley, Bret Hart and Rey Mysterio as top stars who wouldn't be described as bodybuilders. Triple H says if Punk wants to use the idea of that bodybuilder theory as an excuse for his failures, then go ahead. The crowd chants for Punk some more.

Triple H says his opinion doesn't matter and Punk needs to worry about the fan opinions. Triple H says Punk thought he was being held back for the first six years when he wasn't getting reactions like that. Triple H says when you win the fan opinions, you get what you want. Triple H says you won't have to make calls to get on a 7 Eleven cup, 7 Eleven will call WWE and demand he be on it. Punk responds and asks where his WWE ice cream bars are? The crowd pops at this.

Punk tells a story from 2006 before his first pay-per-view at Survivor Series where he was on a team with DX. Punk says the people in Philadelphia weren't chanting for DX, they were chanting... the crowd starts chanting his name. Punk says the story doesn't have a happy ending because that was the first time he grabbed the imaginary brass ring and went it went nowhere. Punk would rather be hated for what he is as opposed to loved for what he's not. Triple H brings up that Punk has been in main events, won Money in the Bank and world titles. Triple H says maybe Punk isn't as good as he thought he was, maybe he isn't the best in the world. Triple H brings up Punk's story on John Cena from last week. Triple H puts over Cena big time and the crowd boo's. Triple H says the fact remains true - Cena sells out arenas all over the world and he has done it on his own, by winning the fans over. Triple H says Punk needs to worry about the fans opinions all the time. Triple H says sometimes he looks at a guy and doesn't think he will be anything but that guy turns out to be a John Cena. Triple H says all Punk has to do is win the fans over. Punk asks Triple H if he is hearing this. Don't tell him he has to win the fans over. Triple H says today they are chanting his name, last year - not so much. Triple H says Punk is just now getting the people. Punk says he has earned everything he's got in the last 6 years. Punk says he busted his ass and sacrificed for this business. Triple H goes on and says this isn't business, it's personal because Punk turned it into a personal issue. Triple H says Punk won't step in the ring with the muli-time World Champion, not the COO, not the business man and not The Game on Sunday. He will step into the ring with a man, a man that will kick his ass.
