00:00Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman.
00:13And
00:17although I'm from New York,
00:22tonight, I'm just like every single one of you here in Boston, Massachusetts.
00:33I'm here to witness history.
00:37I'm here because tonight I get the best seat in the house to witness your reigning,
00:46defending WWE Champion CM Punk in his 302nd consecutive day as the WWE Champion.
01:05You see, I'm here tonight to pay respect to the title and the champion.
01:13I'm here tonight to pay homage to a man of such extraordinary character
01:21that he proudly and publicly pontificates himself to be a Paul Heyman guy.
01:43In my eyes, what do you see?
01:48The cult of personality.
01:52I know you're in, I know you're in, I know you're in.
01:59Well, we still have no explanation from Mr. Heyman to what his relationship is with CM Punk.
02:05But nonetheless, there is the WWE Champion.
02:10The man who claims that he will cement his legacy tonight as the greatest WWE Champion of all time.
02:18The question is, will CM Punk still be the WWE Champion the next time we come your way on pay-per-view?
02:31One of the most dangerous events of the year, it is Hell in a Cell, the Phillips Arena in Atlanta.
02:38You know, a lot has been made over whether CM Punk has turned his back on the WWE Universe.
02:42What do you think?
02:44This is his first main event since December, Michael.
02:47What do you mean, has he turned his back on the WWE Universe?
02:49He's held the championship over 300 days and in that time, who's gotten all the press?
02:54Cena and Rock, Triple H and Brock, The Undertaker and The Streak.
02:59This man has carried the company for the last two years, 300 plus days as champion.
03:04And for some reason, this guy does not get the respect he deserves.
03:08Is he correct?
03:10Yes, Michael, he is correct.
03:12You are the longest running WWE Champion in SmackDown history, 280 days.
03:16And 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.
03:23CM 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, it's about The Streak.
03:33How could you forget this man right here?
03:35He is right, he 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.
03:48And he is the best in the world.
03:53He has one, he has one, he has one, he has one, he has one.
04:1620 miles from home tonight.
04:21Big night, thank you guys very much, very big night.
04:25I think we can make it big for the kid, I feel good.
04:31John Cena is home in Boston.
04:43When he's over here, he's gonna be finished, I stole you.
04:46And I stay up there, you fightin'.
04:47Cause he's falling on your chunks like I'm thunder and lightning.
04:50Don't know why you breakin' me, kid.
04:52Hard with nails, plus I keep it all locked.
04:54Like I'm part of the jail.
04:55I'm slaughtered and stale with competition.
04:57I got the whole block wishin'.
04:59They can run with my division, but they go audition.
05:02With no day, kitchen boy, hold weight.
05:04I got my soul straight.
05:05I brush him out like cocaine.
05:07And any weather will never better.
05:09The pool is so hot, you'll never catch me in the next man's.
05:12Ladies and gentlemen, this contest set for one fall is for the WWE Championship.
05:22Introducing first, the challenger from West Newberry, Massachusetts.
05:28Weighting 251 pounds, John Cena.
05:40And his opponent.
05:45From Chicago, Illinois.
05:47Weighting 218 pounds, he is the current WWE Champion, C.M. Paul.
05:58Now, the WWE Championship is nearly 50 years old.
06:07Went into effect April of 1963.
06:10Buddy Rogers, the first champion, and all-time greats along the way have held that title,
06:15including the man on my left, John Bradshaw Layfield.
06:18The Nature Boy, Buddy Rogers, named after a Nat King Coles song, Michael in 1948.
06:23Of course, among the all-time greats, Bruno San Martino, Hulk Hogan, Bob Backlund,
06:30Superstar Billy Graham, who Punk just passed.
06:32Pedro Morales.
06:33His title reign.
06:34And of course, John Cena.
06:36Ladies and gentlemen, John Cena is the fourth longest number of combined days as WWE Champion in history.
06:45John Cena also the ten-time WWE Champion, the most ever.
06:49But again, it's all about Cena, isn't it, Michael?
06:52Well, right now-
06:53The tenth longest reign out of 100 reigns is that guy right there holding the championship above his head, CM Punk.
06:58Well, right now, CM Punk's making it all about himself, a clever stall tactic here by the champion.
07:03Because this is a matter of dominance, Michael.
07:07This is about one of the greatest championships in the history of sports entertainment,
07:10but it's also about dominance.
07:12These two guys are fighting for the dominant person in the WWE.
07:16Great psychological tactic by CM Punk.
07:30Making Cena wait.
07:33A little showmanship, Michael.
07:38This is big time.
07:41Wow.
07:42Have I ever missed this?
07:46Punk is getting into John Cena's head.
07:52CM Punk, three-time world champion, two-time WWE Champion, Intercontinental Tag Team Champion,
08:00two-time Money in the Bank winner, Superstar of the Year.
08:03I got this shirt now!
08:07And of course, John Cena, ten-time WWE Champion, a record two-time world champ,
08:12three-time United States Champion, four-time Tag Team Champion.
08:15He's won the Royal Rumble, a Money in the Bank, and he's a two-time Superstar of the Year.
08:19And here we go.
08:20Big fight atmosphere at Cena's hometown tonight.
08:24Lockup center of the ring for both men.
08:32Punk is not gonna win a power game against Cena.
08:35That we know.
08:36He's not trying to.
08:37CM Punk wearing the Yankee pinstripe colors on his boots and tights tonight.
08:44Everything about CM Punk is getting in somebody's head.
08:47You gotta love that.
08:49The little subtlety of wearing the New York Yankee stripes on his trunks,
08:52it's something that's incredible.
08:54Hey, look at John Cena.
08:56He's had my takeover by Cena, and a click scissors by Punk.
09:01We got a stalemate to start.
09:04John Cena has, well, he's been rather successful over the years here in Boston,
09:09Massachusetts, his hometown.
09:11He beat Chris Jericho for a World Championship Survivor Series 2008.
09:15He beat for the team in a match of 2007.
09:18And he's also had some down times as well here.
09:20Lost his United States Championship.
09:22Had a SummerSlam matchup where he didn't gain a title.
09:26Boston has a great sports tradition.
09:28John Cena has to rank up there with all the great sports stars.
09:31The Bobby Orr, the Splendid Splinters, the Wade Boggs, the Rondos.
09:37Again, very vocal, WWE Universe, as they always are, and matches up with the polarizing John Cena.
09:47And CM Punk is in no hurry to lock, really lock up, get involved in shoulder knockdowns at Cena here.
09:59Got us a little mental chess game going on here, Amago.
10:03CM Punk called John Cena overrated, overhyped, and overstated.
10:08Punk claims he's better than Austin, Rock, Shawn Michaels.
10:12Said he's a better talker, brawler, and technician than everyone.
10:15In fact, he's the best in the world.
10:17That's delusions of grandeur.
10:18Look, these guys are both wrong about each other.
10:21They're both great.
10:22That is why they're going at it like this.
10:25Fisherman'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.
10:38What, 2005?
10:40Nobody wanted Punk here, except for Paul Heyman.
10:43That's on CM Punk's DVD.
10:45He'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.
10:54And CM Punk now with a headlock takeover.
10:56What are you saying now?
10:58And before that, Paul Heyman was the only guy to have three straight champions in a row.
11:022006.
11:07And now he's in some type of relationship with CM Punk.
11:10Don't know if it's an advocate, don't know if it's a manager, doesn't matter.
11:14See you soon.
11:1914,886 vocal fans here tonight in the garden.
11:27Heyman electric, since the n and go, there's a big bad fight, drop by Cena.
11:31And now John Cena, went for the attack, CM Punk shrewdly ducked underneath.
11:37He ducked underneath.
11:45Punk right to the tip of the nose, and Punk again into the cover,
11:50hook to the leg on Cena.
11:51Will he put him away?
11:51Not like that.
11:53And he's not gonna put him away this early.
11:55He knows that.
11:56That cover is just to make Cena work.
12:02Elbow again, perfectly placed elbow,
12:06as was that one by the WWE Champion.
12:13John Cena claimed that Punk was a very insecure champion,
12:16that 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, and a DDT.
12:40CM Punk rolling Cena over, hook of the leg, shoulders down and a kick out.
12:45What's interesting about the rivalry between these two men is we gotta remember
12:49back to Money in the Bank pay-per-view back in 2011.
12:52That was the night that CM Punk defeated John Cena, won the WWE Championship, and
12:57walked out of WWE.
12:59It 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, and 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.
13:17Let go Cena, Cena, Cena, let go!
13:23Every fan here has an opinion of John Cena.
13:25Let go Cena, let go!
13:28Not many in the history of WWE have ever evoked an emotional response out of the fans like
13:33John Cena has.
13:34Let go Cena, let go!
13:37And Punk doing a great job here early on, keeping Cena under control.
13:42Cena with a shoulder knock now, that's what Cena needed to do, create separation.
13:51Starting to roll here, Punk up over the top, nice drop, toehold by the champion.
13:56And a very, very unique bridge in a possible submission maneuver here on Cena.
14:02Come on, John Boy!
14:07John Cena in a predicament.
14:09What is Cena gonna do?
14:12Punk has Cena right where he wants him.
14:14Will Cena tap?
14:16What's he gonna do to get out of this?
14:18Hammond looks on.
14:21This 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 the display of that power here as he tries to fight his
14:37way out.
14:38And he does momentarily.
14:41Look at Cena though, the damage may have been done.
14:44John Cena is hurting.
14:46CM Punk has done a great job thus far neutralizing Cena.
14:51How smart is Cena?
14:52Go outside and get a breather.
14:54These is two great champions, Michael, in the prime of their lives.
14:57Yeah, but you know Cena could be hurt.
14:59Whether he is or isn't, Michael, the point is he had enough sense to get out of the ring
15:04together himself.
15:06Again, WWE Championship rules, advantage to that man, Punk.
15:10You gotta pin him or make him submit to win the title.
15:13Punk through the second rope, taking out Cena.
15:17CM Punk.
15:18CM Punk.
15:19Come on, John.
15:20And I'm a bit surprised.
15:23Let's go Cena.
15:27Let's go Cena.
15:29And there, of course, John Cena's father looking on, watching this matchup.
15:35I was gonna 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?
15:55Why does Cena get the prime spot at WrestleMania?
15:58Because John Cena, because John Cena has earned it.
16:02He's worked hard to earn the respect of the fans.
16:04Yes, yes.
16:05And look at Punk, sent right out into the WWE fans in the front row.
16:11Yeah.
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.
16:20Get him, John.
16:21Cena with the strength, man.
16:23Wow.
16:24I don't necessarily disagree with you that CM Punk deserves respect, but
16:28I just think he's going about it the wrong way.
16:30He deserves it as well.
16:32And here's CM Punk tossed back into the ring.
16:35John Cena now in the attack.
16:37WWE Championship, up for grabs here tonight.
16:40Cena, grabs going for the AA.
16:42And CM Punk, what 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.
16:58There's no doubt he's a great technical wrestler, and CM Punk who claims he's the best
17:01in 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.
17:15John Cena has not been able to get out of the block, so to speak.
17:19Look at Cena.
17:26Again, look at the strength.
17:28Look at the power of this man.
17:29You can't plan that.
17:30You can't plan that in the gym.
17:31Look at this.
17:32There's nobody a freak of nature like John Cena.
17:35Cena lifting Punk's dead weight.
17:37And again, Punk fighting back with the elbows to the back of the neck.
17:40This is gonna 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.
17:53But the record that Punk says demands respect, and he's not getting it.
17:58And Punk dancing a little bit.
18:01Come on, Ron Taron.
18:03Mocking Cena.
18:05Little jabs by Punk.
18:11And what a right hand, glancing blow.
18:14But Cena's down, hook of the leg, two count kick out.
18:17Punk just toying with Cena with those jabs.
18:22Psychological more than anything.
18:24And Punk knows he's not only gonna three count there.
18:26He's covering him just to make him kick out, just to show he's still dying.
18:30CM Punk, top rope.
18:33CM Punk is wrestling right now a perfect match.
18:37Punk, off 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.
18:53So far it is.
18:54And now CM Punk perhaps looking for the go to sleep.
19:03John Cena fights out of it.
19:04The go to sleep, of course, the finishing maneuver of Punk.
19:07And there's Cena.
19:08Shoulder not down.
19:09Suddenly, you start to feel some things change.
19:14No!
19:15Punk counter.
19:16Switch balance, mid air, got 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.
19:27CM Punk countered, swinging neck breakers.
19:29Cena counters this time.
19:30And there's a wicked clothesline.
19:31Wow.
19:32That clothesline was sent a message.
19:33Here's the hook of the leg.
19:34One, two.
19:35Shoulders down.
19:36Champion kicks out.
19:37The championship match, everything sends a message, Michael.
19:40And there's a little extra pepper on that one.
19:42That wasn't a clothesline, that was a right hook.
19:45Looked like a clothesline ice rumor you threw.
19:48And now John Cena.
19:51You can't see me from Cena.
20:00Usually sets up the five knuckle shuffle.
20:03This time Punk counters with a boot.
20:05What a counter.
20:06And again, everything Cena has thrown at Punk, Punk has had an answer for
20:09And you wonder if that's not Paulie Heyman.
20:12You wonder if that's not scouting.
20:14You wonder if that's not some type of coaching.
20:16Look at this.
20:18Wouldn't give Heyman that much credit.
20:20But nonetheless, here's the neck breaker.
20:21Hook of the leg, shoulders down, and 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.
20:34And that is game plan.
20:35That's coming in here with a plan to execute.
20:37Cena's down.
20:43Punk is slowly making it to his feet.
20:46This is the pace that Punk wants.
20:51Waiting for Cena to make it to his feet.
20:56Cena's struggling.
20:57CM Punk gonna launch himself.
20:59Off the top rope.
21:00Caught by Cena.
21:01Cena rolls through.
21:02There's the strength of John Cena.
21:05I told you.
21:06This guy is amazing.
21:08Wow.
21:09One strength.
21:10Wait for the AA.
21:11CM Punk.
21:12Too close to the rope.
21:13And CM Punk drops to the floor below.
21:17No matter how much scouting you do, no matter how much you think you know,
21:23when you get in there with John Cena, and I've done it, the strength of John Cena is-
21:27Uh-oh.
21:28Hands up.
21:29John Cena.
21:30How often do you see Cena do that?
21:32How often do you see John Cena do that?
21:38That's the importance of this match, Michael.
21:41That's when you're going for a championship.
21:43John Cena looking for his 11th WWE title tonight.
21:46John Cena trying to build a little momentum.
21:48CM Punk in trouble.
21:50Here comes Cena.
21:51This is the 10-time WWE Champion.
21:54This might be 11.
21:57Went for the five knuckles, something like that.
22:02And again CM Punk.
22:04And look at this.
22:05Going for the other kind of ice.
22:06Punk going for the ice.
22:07Punk trying to lock it in.
22:09Punk trying to lock it in.
22:10He counted him again.
22:11Punk trying to lock it in.
22:12He counted him again and this time it could be in.
22:14Is John Cena gonna tap out?
22:15Is Cena gonna tap out?
22:16Is Cena gonna tap out?
22:17Is Cena gonna tap out the part?
22:18The champion in control.
22:20The most in the world.
22:21Cena's in trouble.
22:22You better give him respect now.
22:23Cena's in trouble.
22:25John Cena, how's he gonna power out of this thing?
22:28Nowhere to go, middle of the ring.
22:30Punk's got it locked in.
22:31John Cena up over the top, locked Cena.
22:34Cena's out.
22:35Cena's out of it.
22:36Now for a submission of his own.
22:38STF.
22:39Wow.
22:40STF.
22:41Punk.
22:42Is Punk gonna tap?
22:43Right in the middle of the ring.
22:44STF.
22:45The middle of the ring.
22:46STF.
22:47With that huge beast on top of you, there's nowhere for CM Punk to go.
22:50And Punk taps out.
22:51We'll crown a new champion at Night of Champions.
22:53No.
22:54Cena with the STF.
22:55How much is Punk gonna have here?
22:57How much does he have left?
22:59Does he have anything left, Michael?
23:01CM Punk trying to slide his head underneath the arm of Cena.
23:05Successfully does.
23:06Now Punk.
23:07Look at this cross face.
23:09Another counter.
23:10Another great counter.
23:11Look at the cross face by Punk.
23:13He's got it locked in.
23:14Cena.
23:15Cena in trouble.
23:16Now it's Cena.
23:17Will he tap out?
23:18Back and forth we go.
23:19Submission maneuver after submission maneuver.
23:22Heyman concerned.
23:24What is Cena gonna do here?
23:29All 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.
23:39My God in heaven.
23:40John Cena.
23:41Heyman cannot believe it, he's muttering to himself.
23:51I can't believe it, Michael.
23:52John Cena, Cena, Cena, Cena, Cena.
23:56Punk tried two submission maneuvers and 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 backing Cena, trying to get him back into this match.
24:08CF box!
24:10CF box!
24:19CF box!
24:24CF box!
24:31And Punk, heel to the jaw.
24:44Another great counter.
24:45And there's that high running knee.
24:50Followed up by a straight clothesline there by Punk who's gonna go to the top row.
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 Punk for using the Macho Man's elbow.
25:07But will he use it effectively to kick out at two?
25:17Stay with the game plan, Punk, stay with the game plan.
25:19Back and forth we go for the WWE Championship.
25:2699, says Punk.
25:42This could be the respect that CM Punk's been wanting.
25:45This could be the moment that defines his existence as Cena said earlier.
25:49He could defeat the ten-time WWE Champion in his hometown.
25:53How sweet would that be?
25:55CM Punk, Cena.
26:01Now he's going to sleep time.
26:03Cena countered.
26:06Cena countered.
26:07Nowhere for Punk to go.
26:09STF, STF submission hold.
26:11What you gotta do to beat this guy?
26:13Will Punk tap?
26:14Will Punk tap?
26:16Of course he's gonna tap.
26:18Puck's arms will trailing all over the place.
26:23Trying to drag himself through the ropes to force the break.
26:27Cena doing all he can.
26:29Punk trying to make it there and he does.
26:31Cena's gotta 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.
26:47Let's go to sleep.
26:48Good night.
26:48Go to sleep.
26:49Punk got it.
26:51Cena, Cena, Cena.
26:55You gotta be kidding me.
26:56John Cena kicked out.
27:01What do you do when you throw your best shot at somebody and
27:05you don't beat them?
27:06CM Punk has thrown many of his best shots at Cena tonight.
27:13Submission moves to go to sleep and
27:15he still hasn't been able to knock off Cena.
27:17And the frustration really showing both on Hammond and Punk now.
27:29Wouldn't you be, Michael?
27:30He just hit him with the best thing he had and didn't beat him.
27:33What is Punk gonna do now?
27:44He's pulled out all the stops, seemingly.
27:46And both these guys have been beat up, battered, bruised.
27:59This is what Punk has spent 300 days living for.
28:04This moment to beat John Cena in his hometown.
28:07And Punk to the clothesline, and now Punk.
28:12Punk's still in control.
28:16John Cena has-
28:17Again, into the cover.
28:18Shoulders down this time, and at two, Cena fights out again.
28:21Cena has no idea where he's at.
28:23Punk does, but Punk has gotta 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, but
28:32he hasn't been able to finish off Cena.
28:34You can't game plan against strength and tenacity like Cena has.
28:37You just gotta keep going to the well.
28:39Well, absolute humiliation there, off the slap.
28:46Here he is.
28:46Going to go to sleep again.
28:47John Cena from behind, John Cena going for the AA.
28:51Punk counters, misses wildly, Cena, side slam.
28:56Now John Cena, now he has to find out the something.
29:00Going to the AA.
29:01And a two to Justin, 11-time champion, and Punk kicked out.
29:09What a match.
29:19Everybody in this arena thought John Cena won the title.
29:27Everybody but Punk who kicked out in two.
29:30That's why he's been champion for so long, Michael.
29:34That's why he's deserving of your respect.
29:38These two guys have thrown everything they have at each other.
29:40Cena had been questioning the referee there.
29:47Now Cena is perplexed.
29:49Can't win the title on account how John Cena's gotta get Punk back into the ring.
29:55Punk has the wherewithal to get out of the ring.
29:59Yeah, now Cena is 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 on top.
30:15Point of the leg drop, nobody home.
30:25Could be Punk's opportunity.
30:26Another great counter.
30:27A roundhouse kick.
30:28Punk quickly trying to- He's out.
30:30Shoot the half.
30:31He does.
30:32Shoulders down.
30:33Kick out again by Cena, and Punk is about to blow his stack.
30:38This where Punk cannot lose it, you don't just have to dig deep.
30:46He's already digging deep.
30:48You gotta keep your brain in the game here, CM Punk.
30:50Yeah, but how do you do that, John?
30:51I mean, Cena has kicked out of everything Punk's done.
30:55Keep going to the well, just 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, and
31:04the strongest guy I've ever been in the ring with, John Cena.
31:06That's what Punk 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, again into the cover for the champ.
31:22Hook to the leg, kick 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
31:32Punk may be turning to desperation.
31:34Because Punk is continuing to find himself not being able to put Cena away.
31:38Yeah, but would you rather be desperate or
31:40would you rather be like John Cena and be half out of it right now in the middle of the ring?
31:43It won't matter if Punk can't beat him.
31:46CM Punk top rope.
31:52CM Punk is not gonna do that.
31:54He went for a moonsault, again, desperate times, desperate measures, may have cost the champ.
31:58An awkward moonsault by Punk, and I just think Punk, again, was so frustrated.
32:07Punk's just trying something.
32:08Punk'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've thrown everything but the Cena sits and sink at him.
32:23Well, watch this, here's the moonsault, Cena just barely got out of the way.
32:27And now, turning point of the match, both men head to head, center of the ring.
32:32John Cena going to the AA, straight power, brute strength.
32:36Going for the go to sleep is CM Punk.
32:39And he hit it again, he hit it again.
32:41What a match.
32:42You're kidding me.
32:44John Cena kicked out again.
32:54Punk has tried submission maneuvers, flying elbows, go to sleeps, moonsaults, everything possible.
33:03I respected John Cena before, 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.
33:19Punk's the wheels are turning.
33:23But if Punk wins this match, Michael, respect is going to come from the world.
33:32CM Punk banging Cena to make it back to his feet.
33:36What does Punk have in mind?
33:38Trying to hook Cena here.
33:39Rock bottom.
33:40Rock bottom.
33:41That's a rock bottom.
33:42Hook of the leg.
33:43Did he get a no?
33:44Look at the face.
33:55What do I gotta do?
33:57What do I gotta 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, he does not want to get beat.
34:06What a champion.
34:08And now Cena.
34:11A-A, A-A, A-A.
34:13One, two, one, two, one.
34:14Punk kicked out.
34:16Who is gonna win this match?
34:22It's all even.
34:22They both have landed everything they have, Michael, everything.
34:30Now it's Cena.
34:33Cena has won ten championships with that move.
34:37Punk has beaten guys for 300 straight days with the moves that he's hit,
34:40John Cena with.
34:41I don't even think Cena Punk realizes where he's at.
34:44John Cena had to lift Punk up.
34:45Cena has in mind here.
34:53John, these guys are pulling out every stop imaginable.
34:57They're just trying things, Michael.
34:59This is awesome.
35:01And the universe simply saying, this is awesome.
35:06He's got it.
35:07He's got it.
35:08He's got it.
35:09He's got it.
35:10Unbelievable.
35:11Cena did it.
35:12Cena did it.
35:13Unbelievable.
35:14And new WWE Champion, John Cena.
35:15John Cena did it.
35:16That could be the greatest display of tenacity I've ever seen, Michael.
35:19Unbelievable.
35:20And now the celebration for Cena, an 11-time WWE Champion.
35:26Incredible.
35:27What a match.
35:28The match for dominance.
35:29John Cena just established himself as the most dominant guy in the WWE.
35:36What an absolutely incredible match.
35:38Unbelievable, Michael.
35:39This is what championship matches are all about.
35:42Both guys left everything in the ring.
35:49And in his hometown of Boston.
35:51It doesn't get any sweeter than that.
35:53John Cena sucks it all.
35:54It's all right.
35:55It's all right.
35:56What a match.
35:57What a match.
35:58The match for dominance.
35:59John Cena just established himself as the most dominant guy in the WWE.
36:02What an absolutely incredible match.
36:04Unbelievable, Michael.
36:05This is what championship matches are all about.
36:07Both guys left everything in the ring.
36:09You can't get any sweeter than that.
36:10John Cena sucks it all in.
36:21Ladies and gentlemen, both competitors' shoulders were on the mat for a count of three.
36:28This match is a draw.
36:31Therefore, still, your WWE Champion, CM Punk.
36:38You want to end this on a draw?
36:50Hey.
36:51Can I get something?
36:56Man, good place.
37:05Miss Mads.
37:22Thomas Bannon.
37:23Miss Mads.
37:26Miss Mads.
37:27Miss Mads.
37:32Well, let's see, I'm so confused, but watch this.
37:47There's the German off the top rope, now watch.
37:49One, two, three.
37:53That was an odd angle there, but let's see if we get a better look at this angle here.
37:58I mean, Punk's shoulders are clearly down, but look at Cena.
38:01Look 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, well, you wanna talk about respect?
38:14CM Punk, he demands respect, and that's how he's gonna go about getting it.
38:18He's lucky he survived here tonight, and he's gonna blast Cena with the champion.
38:21He is lucky he survived, but that demands respect, he did survive.
38:24I'm the best in the world.
38:27I'm the best in the world.
38:29And that's why I respect you.
38:30I'm the best in the world.
38:31Tell him.
38:32Tell him.
38:33Tell him.
38:34You did it.
38:35This is all.
38:36This is all.
38:37This is all.
38:38This is all.
38:39This is all.
38:40This is all.
38:45This is all.
38:48This is all.
38:53This is all.
38:55I've been the thing you want to be
39:00I'm a fucked up person
