"Who wants to be saved?"

CM Punk: "Quiet down. Last week I came out here and I made a promise. I made a Straight Edge Resolution. A pledge if you will. I made a pledge to save one very lost soul here in the audience today. I told you that this crusade is very real. We are crucial. Being the man that I am, somebody who keeps their promises--unlike all you weak-minded people who somehow quantify your willpower by the time spent in between all your binges. So, who wants to be saved? [Punk und Gallows schauen sich nun im Publikum um] Which member of the WWE Universe has what it takes to embrace the Straight Edge Lifestyle? Now, you can't all be saved. I promised to save one. I promised to save one and one only. [schaut sich weiter um und deutet dann ins Publikum]

You. You in the maroon hoody. Luke, go escort that gentleman into my ring, please. [Gallows geht ins Publikum und begleitet den Fan zum Ring] Security, please. Let this man over the barricade. Help him if you would, please. [Der Fan und Gallows betreten den Ring, der Fan nun flankiert von Punk und Luke] Please. Front and center. What's your name?"

Fan: "James."

Punk: "Welcome, James. I can tell you're a little bit scared. But I assure you, you have nothing to fear from me. In fact, you have nothing to fear from Luke. You have nothing to fear at all anymore. James, I want you to know that I can read you like a book, just like I can see through all these people here today. You think you're hopelessly addicted, don't you? It's OK, you're with friends. I'm here to let you know that there is hope. And you're looking at it. James, please, take a seat. [Gallows stellt einen Stuhl im Ring auf und James nimmt Platz. Punk geht auf ein Knie und spricht ihn weiter direkt an.]

James, what's about to happen to you now is the most important moment of your entire life. You're about to accept me. I'm gonna save you. So if you, please, raise your right hand. It's OK, I'm your savior. [James hebt die rechte Hand] James, are you tired of living your life like all of these losers?"

James: "Yes."

Punk: "I can't hear you, James."

James: "YES."

Punk: "Now, James, are you gonna stop treating your body like a sewer?"

James: "Oh, I'm gonna try. I've tried a few times to stop smoking."

Punk: "THAT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH. James. James, look at me. Straight Edge is a commitment. And you need to learn very quickly that you need to stop trying and start doing. 'Cause if you're not Straight Edge now, you never were. So endear yourself to me right now. Tell me that you will stop abusing your body with prescription medication. With over-the-counter drugs. With alcohol. With cigarettes."

James: "I'm going to stop."

Punk: "Yeah, that's better. Now, James, are you willing to find the willpower within yourself - that all of these people here lack - to learn how to just say No in the face of temptation?"

James: "Yes. I'm going to change."

Punk: "Change. Well, unfortunately, it's easier said than done. Like somebody who's hopelessly addicted you know that actions speak louder than words. So, James, before you become a full-fledged member of my Straight Edge Society, there's one more thing that you need to do. Luke. [Gallows öffnet eine kleine schwarze Tasche und bringt einen Haarrasierer hervor. James steht daraufhin abwehrend auf.] Sit down, James. James. I said sit down. [James nimmt wieder Platz.] Now, what is about to happen is a symbol of commitment against this poison society of which I live. This is a fresh start for James. This is a clean slate. Your past, your life being governed by drug addiction and alcohol abuse ends right now. Because you are about to accept Straight Edge into your life. You do unconditionally accept Straight Edge into your life, don't you, James? [James nickt. Dann greift sich Punk das Haarschneidegerät, zieht James' Kopf an den Haaren nach hinten und rasiert ihm den Kopf. Dann legt er eine Hand auf den kahlrasierten Schädel und kniet sich wieder neben ihn.]

Now, when you look in the mirror, you know that you are stronger than all of these people sitting here today. This day forward you have evolved far beyond what all these sheep have become. You are stronger than these pathetic individuals who sit here in front of you and need a drink to put a smile on their face. [Punk gibt James seine Hand und zieht ihn nach oben, während James ein lautloses 'Thank you' an Punk richtet. Punk und Gallows ziehen James' Arme nach oben und posieren so mit ihm.] Ladies and Gentlemen, it can happen. And next week it could happen to you. Welcome the newest member of the Straight Edge Society into the WWE Universe. Because he, like myself, is better than all of you."

- Beim geretteten Fan handelte es sich um Ted McNaler.
