00:00Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman, and although I'm from New York, tonight I'm
00:24just like every single one of you here in Boston, Massachusetts. I'm here to witness history.
00:37I'm here because tonight I get the best seat in the house to witness your reigning, defending
00:47WWE Champion CM Punk in his 302nd consecutive day as the WWE Champion.
01:07You see, I'm here tonight to pay respect to the title and the champion. I'm here tonight
01:15to pay homage to a man of such extraordinary character that he proudly and publicly pontificates
01:26himself to be a Paul Heyman guy.
01:33And I'm here tonight.
01:47Well, we still have no explanation from Mr. Hammond
02:02to what his relationship is with CM Punk.
02:06But nonetheless, there is the WWE Champion.
02:10The man who claims that he will cement his legacy tonight
02:14as the greatest WWE Champion of all time.
02:25The question is, will CM Punk still be the WWE Champion
02:28the next time we come your way on pay-per-view,
02:31one of the most dangerous events of the year.
02:33It is Hell in a Cell, the Phillips Arena in Atlanta.
02:39You know, a lot has been made over whether CM Punk has turned his back on the WWE Universe.
02:43What do you think?
02:45This is his first main event since December, Michael.
02:47What do you mean, has he turned his back on the WWE Universe?
02:50He's held the championship over 300 days, and in that time, who's gotten all the press?
02:55Cena and Rock, Triple H and Brock, the Undertaker in the streak.
02:59This man has carried the company for the last two years, 300-plus days as champion,
03:05and for some reason, this guy does not get the respect he deserves.
03:09Is he correct?
03:10Yes, Michael, he is correct.
03:12You are the longest-running WWE Champion in SmackDown history, 280 days,
03:17and it seems like you've been talked about more, got more respect than he's ever had, Punk ever has.
03:21When I show up, people still talk about my championship reign.
03:24CM Punk has held it three weeks longer than I did, Michael.
03:27But yet, what they talk about is Cena's movies.
03:30It's about the great Triple H.
03:32It's about the streak.
03:33How could you forget this man right here?
03:35He is right.
03:36He is the backbone of this company.
03:37He's the one you headline an event when you go to Poughkeepsie, when you go to Sacramento.
03:42He's carrying the company, Michael.
03:46And he is the best in the world.
03:48He is the best in the world.
03:52He is the best in the world.
03:56He is the best in the world.
04:0120 miles from home tonight.
04:22Big night.
04:23Thank you guys very much.
04:24Very big night.
04:25We can make it big for the kid.
04:31I feel good.
04:40John Cena is home in Boston.
04:43He is the best in the world.
05:13Ladies and gentlemen, this contest set for one fall is for the WWE Championship.
05:23Introducing first, the challenger from West Newberry, Massachusetts.
05:28Winged 251 pounds, John Cena.
05:38From Chicago, Illinois, weighting 218 pounds, he is the current WWE Champion, C.M. Pong.
05:59Now, the WWE Championship is nearly 50 years old.
06:07Went into effect April of 1963.
06:11Buddy Rogers, the first champion.
06:13And all-time greats along the way have held that title, including the man on my left, John Bradshaw Layfield.
06:19The nature boy, Buddy Rogers, named after a Nat King coles.
06:22It's all model in 1948.
06:25Of course, among the all-time greats, Bruno San Martino, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund, superstar Billy Graham, who Punk just passed.
06:33Pedro Morales.
06:34His title reign.
06:36And, of course, John Cena.
06:38Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena is the fourth-longest number of combined days as WWE Champion in history.
06:46John Cena, also the ten-time WWE Champion, the most ever.
06:50But, again, it's all about Cena, isn't it, Michael?
06:53Well, right now...
06:53The tenth-longest reign out of 100 reigns is that guy right there holding the championship above his head, C.M. Pong.
06:58Well, right now, C.M. Pong's making it all about himself.
07:01A clever stall tactic here by the champion.
07:04Because this is a matter of dominance, Michael.
07:08This is about one of the greatest championships in the history of sports entertainment, but it's also about dominance.
07:13These two guys are fighting for the dominant person in the WWE.
07:28Great psychological tactic by C.M. Pong.
07:32Making Cena wait.
07:37A little silvership, Michael.
07:39This is big time.
07:43Wow!
07:45Have I ever missed this?
07:50Punk is getting into John Cena's head.
07:54C.M. Pong, three-time World Champion, two-time WWE Champion, Intercontinental Tag Team Champion, two-time Money in the Bank winner, Superstar of the Year.
08:04I got your shirt now!
08:05And of course, John Cena, ten-time WWE Champion, a record two-time World Champion, three-time United States Champion, four-time Tag Team Champion.
08:16He's won the Royal Rumble, a Money in the Bank, and he's a two-time Superstar of the Year.
08:20And here we go.
08:21Big fight atmosphere at Cena's hometown tonight.
08:31Lock-up center of the ring for both men.
08:33Punk is not going to win a power game against Cena.
08:36That we know.
08:37He's not trying to.
08:38CM Punk wearing the Yankee pinstripe colors on his boots and tights tonight.
08:45Everything about CM Punk is getting in somebody's head.
08:48You've got to love that.
08:49The little subtlety of wearing the New York Yankee stripes on his trunks, it's something that's incredible.
08:55And look at John Cena.
08:57Nice headlock takeover by Cena.
09:00Leg scissors by Punk.
09:01We've got a stalemate to start.
09:05John Cena has been rather successful over the years here in Boston, Massachusetts, his hometown.
09:11He beat Chris Jericho for a World Championship Survivor Series 2008.
09:16He beat for Pettina in a match of 2007.
09:19And he's also had some down times as well here.
09:21Lost his United States Championship.
09:24Had a SummerSlam matchup where he didn't gain a title.
09:27Boston has a great sports tradition.
09:29John Cena has to rank up there with all the great sports stars.
09:33The Bobby Orrers, the Splendid Splinters, the Wade Boggs, the Rondos.
09:38Again, very vocal, WWE Universe, as they always are, and matches with the polarizing John Cena.
09:52And CM Punk is in no hurry to lock up, get involved in shoulder knockdowns at Cena here.
10:00Got us a little mental chess game going on here, Mago.
10:04CM Punk called John Cena overrated, overhyped, and overstated.
10:09Punk claims he's better than Austin, Rock, Shawn Michaels.
10:13Said he's a better talker, brawler, and technician than everyone.
10:16In fact, he's the best in the world.
10:18That's delusions of grandeur.
10:19Look, these guys are both wrong about each other.
10:22They're both great.
10:23That is why they're going at it like this.
10:25Stisherman's suplex went for the cover, and Punk wisely stayed on his belly.
10:30Didn't allow Cena to go for a pin there, as Paul Heyman looks on.
10:34Still do not know what relationship he has with CM Punk.
10:39What, 2005?
10:40Nobody wanted Punk here, except for Paul Heyman.
10:43That's on CM Punk's DVD.
10:46He's a Paul Heyman guy.
10:47That elbow caught Cena, the temple knocking him down.
10:49Last we saw, Heyman, of course, was his relationship with Lesnar.
10:55And CM Punk now with a headlock takeover.
10:59And before that, Paul Heyman was the only guy to have three straight champions in a row.
11:042006.
11:07And now he's in some type of relationship with CM Punk.
11:10Don't know if it's an advocate.
11:12Don't know if it's a manager.
11:13Doesn't matter.
11:14CM Punk!
11:14CM Punk!
11:15CM Punk!
11:16CM Punk!
11:16CM Punk!
11:17CM Punk!
11:17CM Punk!
11:18CM Punk!
11:18CM Punk!
11:19CM Punk!
11:19CM Punk!
11:20CM Punk!
11:2314,886 vocal fans here tonight at the Garden.
11:28Heyman Electric Assistant can go.
11:30There's a big bat bite off by Cena.
11:33And now John Cena went for the attack.
11:35CM Punk shrewdly ducked underneath.
11:41Oh, John Cena.
11:45And Punk right to the tip of the nose.
11:47And Punk again, into the cover, hook to the leg on Cena.
11:51Will he put him away? Not like that.
11:53And he's not going to put him away this early. He knows that.
11:56That cover is just to make Cena work.
12:02Elbow again.
12:04Perfectly placed elbow, as was that one by the WWE Champion.
12:08John Cena claimed that Punk was a very insecure champion, that he's desperate and delusional.
12:19That comes out of the ego of John Cena.
12:21John Cena's a great champion, taking nothing away from John Cena.
12:23But these guys right now are vying for dominance.
12:26That's what this is about.
12:30And look at CM Punk.
12:33And the boasting there by Punk may cost the champion.
12:36John Cena, the powerhouse.
12:38What a DDT.
12:40CM Punk rolling Cena over.
12:42Hook of the leg, shoulders down, and a kick out.
12:45What's interesting about the rivalry between these two men is we got to remember back to Money in the Bank pay-per-view back in 2011.
12:53That was the night that CM Punk defeated John Cena, won the WWE Championship, and walked out of WWE.
12:58It was a night that changed the entire complexion of the WWE as we know it today.
13:04It was in Punk's hometown of Chicago.
13:06Here's the cover on Cena.
13:07And a kick out.
13:09And since then, things have really gone CM Punk's way.
13:13And you think about it, every media outlet in the United States was covering that event.
13:18Let go Cena, Cena, Cena!
13:21Let go Cena, Cena!
13:23Every fan here has an opinion of John Cena.
13:25Not many in the history of WWE have ever evoked an emotional response out of the fans like John Cena has.
13:36And Punk doing a great job here early on, keeping Cena under control.
13:41Cena with the shoulder knockdown, that's what Cena needed to do, create separation, starting to roll here.
13:52Punk up over the top, nice drop, toe hold by the champion.
13:55And a very, very unique bridge in a possible submission maneuver here on Cena.
14:02Come on, John Boy!
14:03Come on, John Boy!
14:03Come on, John Boy!
14:04Come on, John Boy!
14:05Come on, John Boy!
14:05Go!
14:07John Cena in a predicament.
14:09What is Cena going to do?
14:12Punk has Cena right where he wants him.
14:14Will Cena tap?
14:16What's he going to do to get out of this?
14:18Hammond looks on.
14:19This is what CM Punk has to do this entire match, just constantly wear John Cena down.
14:26I don't know if there's ever been a competitor that is stronger physically than John Cena.
14:32And Cena, perhaps showing us a display of that power here as he tries to fight his way out.
14:38And he does momentarily.
14:42Look at Cena, though.
14:43The damage may have been done.
14:44John Cena is hurting.
14:47CM Punk has done a great job thus far.
14:49They're neutralizing Cena.
14:51How smart is Cena?
14:52Go outside and get a breather.
14:54These is two great champions, Michael.
14:56In the prime of their lives.
14:58Yeah, but you know, Cena could be hurt.
15:02Whether he is or isn't, Michael, the point is he had enough sense to get out of the ring together himself.
15:07Again, WWE Championship rules advantage to that man, Punk.
15:11You've got to pin him or make him submit to win the title.
15:15Punk through the second rope, taking out Cena.
15:17Cena, Cena, Punk.
15:19Come on, John!
15:20And I'm a bit surprised.
15:23Let's go, Cena!
15:26Let's go, Cena!
15:30And there, of course, John Cena's father looking on, watching this matchup.
15:36I was going to say, I'm a bit surprised at the way this matchup has started.
15:40Punk has been in almost complete control.
15:42Punk's on the top of his game.
15:43He's never been better.
15:47And he's fighting for something that he believes was taken from him, and that is respect.
15:52Why does Cena get three feature movies?
15:54Why does Cena get on SNL?
15:56Why does Cena get the prime spot at WrestleMania?
15:59Because John Cena, because John Cena has earned it.
16:03He's worked hard to earn the respect of the fans.
16:05And look at Punk, sent right out into the WWE fans in the front row.
16:12John Cena has earned it, but so has CM Punk, and that's why CM Punk is mad.
16:17Get him out!
16:18Get him, John!
16:19Get him, John!
16:20Cena with the strength!
16:22Oh, man!
16:23Wow.
16:24I don't necessarily disagree with you that CM Punk deserves respect, but I just think he's going about it the wrong way.
16:30He deserves it as well.
16:33And here's CM Punk tossed back into the ring.
16:35John Cena now on the attack.
16:37WWE Championship.
16:38Up for grabs here tonight.
16:40Cena grabs going for the AA.
16:42And CM Punk!
16:44What a kick caught Cena.
16:46Caught him flush.
16:49Punk will never match strength with Cena.
16:51I don't know anybody that could.
16:53He's got to continue to use his head to get ahead of John Cena.
16:57That's exactly what he's doing.
16:59There's no doubt he's a great technical wrestler, and CM Punk who claims he's the best in the world again, looking to wear John Cena down.
17:05He's held the title for 300 straight days, Michael.
17:08How does that not make you the best in the world?
17:11The game plan from Punk has been impeccable thus far.
17:16John Cena has not been able to get out of the block, so to speak.
17:20Go!
17:21Go!
17:21Go!
17:21Go!
17:21Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:22Go!
17:23Go!
17:23Go!
17:23Go!
17:23Go!
17:24Go!
17:25Go!
17:26Go!
17:27Go!
17:28Go!
17:29Look at the strength.
17:30You can't.
17:31Look at the power of this man.
17:32You can't plan that in the gym.
17:33Look at this!
17:34There's nobody a freak of nature like John Cena.
17:36Cena limiting Punk's dead weight.
17:37And again, Punk fighting back with the elbows to the back of the neck.
17:42This is going to display by the champion thus far.
17:46Cena is your prototypical sports entertainer.
17:49If you had one to design, it would be John Cena.
17:52But the record that Punk says demands respect, and he's not getting it.
17:57And Punk dancing a little bit.
18:01Come on, Rontaner.
18:03Mocking Cena.
18:09And jabs by Punk.
18:11Oh, and what a right hand. Glancing blow.
18:14But Cena's down. Hook of the leg. Two-count kick out.
18:17Punk just to toying with Cena with those jabs.
18:22Psychological more than anything.
18:24And Punk knows he's not going to get a three-count there.
18:26He's covering him just to make him kick out. Just to show he's still dominant.
18:31CM Punk. Top rope.
18:33CM Punk is wrestling right now a perfect match.
18:41And Punk...
18:42Off the top rope, Cena down again.
18:45John Cena said that this matchup tonight could be the moment that will define CM Punk's existence.
18:52So far it is.
18:59And now CM Punk perhaps looking for the go-to-sleep.
19:02John Cena fights out of it.
19:04The go-to-sleep, of course, the finishing maneuver of Punk.
19:06And there's Cena. Shoulder knocked down.
19:09Suddenly...
19:10You start to feel some things change.
19:13No!
19:14Punk counter.
19:15Switch balance.
19:16Mid-air.
19:17Got a no kick out by Cena.
19:18That is scouting right there.
19:19And again, CM Punk has got Cena off his game.
19:23Cena was going for that side slam that would lead into the five-knuckle shuffle.
19:26CM Punk countered.
19:27Swinging neck breakers.
19:28Cena counters this time.
19:29And there's a wicked clothesline.
19:31That clothesline was sent a message.
19:33Here's the hook of the leg.
19:34Shoulders down.
19:35Champion kicks out.
19:36The championship match.
19:37Everything sends a message, Michael.
19:39And there's a little extra pepper on that one.
19:41That wasn't a close-down.
19:42That was a right hook.
19:44Looked like a clothesline ice rumor you threw.
19:49And now John Cena.
19:58You can't see me from Cena.
20:00Usually sets up the five-knuckle shuffle.
20:02This time, Punk counters with a boot.
20:04What a counter.
20:05And again, everything Cena has thrown at Punk, Punk has had an answer for.
20:09And you wonder if that's not Paul E. Heyman.
20:12You wonder if that's not scouting.
20:14You wonder if that's not some type of coaching.
20:17Oh, look at this.
20:18Wouldn't give Heyman that much credit.
20:19But nonetheless, here's the neck breaker.
20:21Hook of the leg.
20:22Shoulders down at Cena.
20:23At two.
20:24But you'd give CM Punk that much credit.
20:26You should.
20:27He has countered everything that John Cena has thrown at him so far.
20:30I do agree with you.
20:31It's been an impeccable game plan tonight so far for Punk.
20:33And that is game plan.
20:34That's coming in here with a plan to execute.
20:41Cena's down.
20:42Punk is slowly making it to his feet.
20:45This is the pace that Punk wants.
20:50Waiting for Cena to make it to his feet.
20:51Cena's struggling.
20:52CM Punk gonna launch himself.
20:53Off the top rope.
20:54Caught by Cena.
20:55Cena rolls through.
20:56There's the strength of John Cena.
20:57I told you.
20:58This guy is amazing.
20:59Wow.
21:00One strength.
21:01Went for the AA.
21:02CM Punk too close to the rope.
21:03And CM Punk drops to the floor below.
21:05No matter how much scouting you do, no matter how much you think you know, when you get in there with John Cena, and I've done it, the strength of John Cena is un...
21:23Hands up.
21:24John Cena.
21:25How often do you see Cena do that?
21:26How often do you see John Cena do that?
21:28That's the importance of this match, Michael.
21:29That's when you're going for a championship.
21:30John Cena looking for his 11th WWE title tonight.
21:32John Cena trying to build a little momentum.
21:33CM Punk in trouble.
21:34Here comes Cena.
21:35This.
21:36Here comes Cena.
21:37This.
21:38This.
21:39This.
21:40Here comes Cena.
21:41This is the 10 time WWE Champion.
21:42This might be 11.
21:46Wait for the five
22:05Going to the end, kind of ice.
22:07Punk going for the ice.
22:08Punk trying to lock it in.
22:09He counted him again.
22:11Punk's trying to lock it in.
22:12He counted him again, and this time it could be in.
22:14Is John Cena going to tap out?
22:15Is Cena going to tap out?
22:17Is Cena going to tap out the heart?
22:19The champion in control.
22:21Cena's in trouble.
22:22You better give him respect now.
22:24Cena's in trouble.
22:26John Cena, how's he going to power out of this thing?
22:28Nowhere to go, middle of the ring.
22:30Punk's got it locked in.
22:32John Cena up over the top, locked Cena.
22:34Cena. Cena's out.
22:36Cena's out of it.
22:37Now for submission of his own.
22:39STF.
22:40STF.
22:41Punk is punking to tap.
22:43Right in the middle of the ring.
22:44STF.
22:44In the middle of the ring.
22:45STF.
22:46With that huge beast on top of you, there's nowhere for CM Punk to go.
22:50And Punk taps out.
22:51We'll find a new champion at Night of Champions.
22:54Cena with the STF.
22:56How much is Punk going to have here?
22:57How much does he have left?
23:00Does he have anything left, Michael?
23:01CM Punk trying to slide his head underneath the arm of Cena.
23:05Successfully does.
23:07Now Punk.
23:09Look at this crossface.
23:10Another counter.
23:10Another great counter.
23:12Look at the crossface by Punk.
23:14He's got it locked in.
23:15Cena.
23:16Cena in trouble.
23:17Now it's Cena.
23:18Will he tap out?
23:19Back and forth we go.
23:20Submission maneuver after submission maneuver.
23:24Heyman concerned.
23:25What is Cena going to do here?
23:30All those muscles work against you sometimes, Michael.
23:32When you get them all bunched up like that, you can't breathe.
23:34Yeah, but when you have all those muscles, you can do stuff like this.
23:37The power of Cena.
23:39Oh, man.
23:40John in heaven.
23:41John Cena.
23:41John Cena.
23:41Heyman cannot believe it.
23:49He's muttering to himself.
23:51I can't believe it, Michael.
23:53Cena.
23:54Cena.
23:54Cena.
23:55Cena.
23:55Cena.
23:55Cena.
23:55Cena.
23:56Punk tried two submission maneuvers.
23:58And couldn't get Cena to tap.
24:00And neither one were countered.
24:01It's a pure brute strength of John Cena.
24:04WWE Universe here.
24:06Backing Cena.
24:07Trying to get him back into this match.
24:08Go.
24:09Go.
24:19Go.
24:26Go.
24:32Go.
24:34Go.
24:37Go.
24:38Go.
24:38And Puck, heel to the jaw.
24:44Another great counter.
24:48And there's that high running knee.
24:53Followed up by a straight clothesline there by Puck,
24:56who's going to go to the top rope.
24:58No wasted time.
24:59Well, remember what Cena said about this this past Monday Night on Raw.
25:02No hotdogging.
25:03Cena mocked Cena and Puck for using the Macho Man's elbow.
25:07But will he use it effectively to kick at it, too?
25:16Stay with the game plan, Puck.
25:18Stay with the game plan.
25:22Back and forth we go for the WWE Championship.
25:3799, says Puck.
25:43This could be the respect that CM Punk's been wanting.
25:46This could be the moment that defines his existence, as Cena said earlier.
25:50He could defeat the 10-time WWE Champion in his hometown.
25:53How sweet would that be?
25:57CM Punk.
25:58Cena, not a shot.
26:02Go to sleep time.
26:04Cena countered.
26:06Cena countered.
26:07Nowhere for Puck to go.
26:09STF.
26:10STF.
26:10Submission home.
26:11What do you got to do to beat this guy?
26:13Will Puck tap?
26:14Will Puck tap?
26:16Of course he's going to tap.
26:18Puck's arms will clearly all over the place.
26:21Trying to drag himself through the ropes to force the break.
26:27Cena doing all he can.
26:29Puck trying to make it there, and he does.
26:34Cena's got to break the hold.
26:35But what does CM Punk have left?
26:39Both men leaving it all in the ring for the WWE Championship.
26:43This is a matter of dominance.
26:45They both want to be the dominant guys.
26:47Look at this.
26:47Go to sleep.
26:48Good night.
26:48Go to sleep.
26:49Puck got it.
26:50Puck.
26:51Cena.
26:51No.
26:52Cena.
26:52No.
26:53Cena.
26:55You've got to be kidding me.
26:59John Cena kicked out.
27:01What do you do when you throw your best shot at somebody,
27:05and you don't beat them?
27:07CM Punk has thrown many of his best shots at Cena tonight.
27:13Submission moves to go to sleep,
27:15and he still hasn't been able to knock off Cena.
27:17Cena.
27:18Cena.
27:19Cena.
27:19Cena.
27:19Cena.
27:19Cena.
27:20And the frustration really showing,
27:25both on Hammond and Punk now.
27:29Wouldn't you think, Michael,
27:30he just hit him with the best thing he had
27:32and didn't beat him?
27:40What is Punk going to do now?
27:44He's pulled out all the stops, seemingly.
27:46And both of these guys have been beat up, battered, bruised.
28:01This is what Punk has spent 300 days living for,
28:04this moment to beat John Cena in his hometown.
28:07And Punk to the close line, and now Punk.
28:14Punk's still in control.
28:15John Cena has...
28:16Again, into the cup.
28:18Shoulders down this time.
28:20And at two, Cena fights out again.
28:21Cena has no idea where he's at.
28:24Punk does.
28:25But Punk has got to be going through his head.
28:28What do I do to beat this man?
28:29Keep going to the well.
28:30He's had a great game plan the entire night,
28:32but he hasn't been able to finish off Cena.
28:34You can't game plan against strength and tenacity like Cena has.
28:38You just got to keep going to the well.
28:39Absolute humiliation there.
28:45Punk to slap.
28:46Here he is.
28:46He's going to go to sleep again.
28:47John Cena from behind.
28:49John Cena going for the AA.
28:51Punk counters.
28:52Misses wildly.
28:53Cena.
28:54Side slam.
28:56Now John Cena.
28:57Now he hits the five-knuckle stuff.
29:00Going for the AA.
29:03And a two to Justin.
29:05Eleven-time champion.
29:08And Punk kept down.
29:09What a match.
29:23Everybody in this arena thought John Cena won the title.
29:28Everybody but Punk who kicked out at two.
29:31That's why he's been champion for so long, Michael.
29:34That's why he's deserving of your respect.
29:37These two guys have thrown everything they have at each other.
29:45Cena even questioned the referee there.
29:47Now Cena is perplexed.
29:52Can't win the title on account.
29:53Now John Cena's got to get Punk back into the ring.
29:57Punk has the wherewithal to get out of the ring.
29:59Yeah, now Cena's a bit frustrated after he couldn't put Punk away.
30:02These men have thrown everything at one another and still no decision in this matchup.
30:07Both have won championships with less than what they've done to each other today.
30:11Now John Cena is gonna go up top.
30:23The leg drop.
30:24Nobody home.
30:25Could be Punk's opportunity.
30:26Another great counter.
30:27A roundhouse kick.
30:28Puck quickly, trying to shoot the half, he does.
30:32Shoulders down, no!
30:33A kick out again by Cena.
30:35And Puck is about to blow his stack.
30:44This is where Puck cannot lose it.
30:45You don't just have to dig deep.
30:47He's already digging deep.
30:48You got to keep your brain in the game here, CM Puck.
30:50Yeah, but how do you do that, John?
30:51I mean, Cena has kicked out of everything.
30:54Puck's done.
30:55Keep going to the well.
30:56Just keep going.
30:57I mean, you've been in the ring with John Cena.
30:59You know how tough this guy is.
31:01The toughest guy I've ever been in the ring with
31:03and the strongest guy I've ever been in the ring with is John Cena.
31:06That's what Puck right now is realizing.
31:08There's a reason John Cena is the face of this company.
31:11Speaking of faces, slapping Cena across the face.
31:15But there's a reason that CM Punk has also been champion for 300 straight days,
31:19and that right there is it.
31:20Into the temple.
31:21Again, into the cover for the champ.
31:22Hook to the leg.
31:23Kick out again.
31:24We're watching two guys in the prime of their life, Michael, battle it out.
31:27You gotta love, love, love this.
31:30Yeah, no, but I think frustration now for Puck may be turning to desperation
31:33because Puck is continuing to find himself not being able to put Cena away.
31:38Yeah, but would you rather be desperate or would you rather be like John Cena
31:41and be half out of it right now in the middle of the ring?
31:43It won't matter if Puck can't beat him.
31:50CM Punk top rope.
31:52CM Punk is not going to do that.
31:54He went for a moonsault.
31:55Again, desperate times, desperate measures may have cost the champ.
32:02An awkward moonsault by Puck, and I just think Puck, again, was so frustrated.
32:07Puck's just trying something.
32:08Puck's just trying anything to find a way to put this guy down, John Cena.
32:12I can't remember the last time I saw CM Punk try a moonsault, if ever.
32:17You gotta respect him for trying.
32:19They're pulling everything out, Michael.
32:20They're pulling everything but the Cena sitch and sink at him.
32:23Watch this.
32:24Here's the moonsault.
32:24Cena just barely got out of the way.
32:27And now, turning point of the match.
32:29Both men, head-to-head, center of the ring.
32:32John Cena going for the AA.
32:34Straight power.
32:35Brute strength.
32:36Going for the go to sleep of CM Punk.
32:38And he hit it again.
32:40He hit it again.
32:41What a match.
32:42Puck hit it again.
32:42And Cena kicked out again.
32:43You're kidding me.
32:48John Cena kicked out again.
32:50Again.
32:55Puck has tried submission maneuvers.
32:58Flying elbows.
32:59Go to sleeps.
33:00Moonsaults.
33:01Everything possible.
33:07I respected John Cena before I came here tonight.
33:10After tonight, whether he wins this match or not.
33:12My respect runs deep, deep for John Cena.
33:16Unbelievable tenacity by this guy.
33:21Puck's the wheels are turning.
33:23But if Punk wins this match, Michael,
33:26respect is going to come from the world.
33:29CM Punk banging Cena to make it back to his feet.
33:36What does Punk have in mind?
33:38Trying to hook Cena here.
33:40Rock bottom.
33:40Rock bottom.
33:41Rock bottom.
33:42Hook to the leg.
33:43Did he get it?
33:43No.
33:47CM Punk resorted to take a move from the rock.
33:51And that didn't work.
33:53Look at the face.
33:55What do I got to do?
33:57What do I got to do?
33:59Cena doesn't even know where he is.
34:01He has no idea where he is.
34:03All he knows is deep down,
34:04he does not want to get beat.
34:06What a champion.
34:08Oh, my God.
34:09And now Cena.
34:11A-A.
34:11A-A.
34:12A-A.
34:14Oh, Punk kicked out.
34:20Who is going to win this match?
34:22It's all even.
34:22They both have landed everything they have, Michael.
34:29Everything.
34:30Now it's Cena.
34:33Cena has won 10 championships with that move.
34:37Punk has beaten guys for 300 straight days with the moves that he's hit John Cena with.
34:41I don't even think CM Punk realizes where he's at.
34:44John Cena had to lift Punk up.
34:48How can Paul help me?
34:51John Cena has won right here.
34:53John, these guys are pulling out every stop imaginable.
34:56They're just trying things, Michael.
34:59They're just trying things, Michael.
35:00And the universe simply saying, this is awesome.
35:06That could be the greatest display of tenacity I've ever seen, Michael.
35:33Unbelievable.
35:34And now the celebration for Cena, an 11-time WWE Champion.
35:41Incredible.
35:44What a match.
35:45The match for dominance.
35:47John Cena just established himself as the most dominant guy in the WWE.
35:51What an absolutely incredible match.
35:53Unbelievable, Michael.
35:56This is what championship matches are all about.
36:00Both guys left everything in the ring.
36:04It doesn't get any sweeter than that.
36:10John Cena sucks it all in.
36:13Ladies and gentlemen, both competitors' shoulders were on the mat for a count of three.
36:27This match is a draw.
36:31Therefore, still, your WWE Champion, C.M.
36:38Boom.
36:38Boom.
36:38Boom.
36:42I'm saying maybe, you know, this is my fight dance here.
36:50You want to end this on a draw?
36:54Hey.
36:56Can I get something?
37:00A draw.
37:00Oh!
37:05Oh, man.
37:07Hey, please.
37:08Hey, please.
37:13Get the ball.
37:18Hey, please.
37:22Let's see, I'm so confused, but watch this, there's the German off the top rope, now watch.
37:49That was an odd angle there, but let's see if we get a better look at this angle here, I mean, Punk's shoulders are clearly down, but look at Cena, look at Cena's, his right shoulder there, Cena's right shoulder was down.
38:07Right shoulder was definitely down, Michael.
38:09And CM Punk blasting, you want to talk about respect, CM Punk, he demands respect, and that's how he's going to go about getting it, he's lucky he survived here tonight, and he's going to blast Cena with the champion.
38:21He has lucky he survived, but that demands respect, he did survive.
38:24I'm the best in the world, I'm the best in the world, I'm the best in the world, I'm the best in the world, tell him, tell him, you did it.
38:39What do you see?
38:44What do you see?
38:46The culture personality
38:48I know the anger
38:52I know the dreams
38:55I've been everything you want to be
38:59O-hoo, I'm the best in the world
