Bret Hart: "I wanna welcome to the ring, the man that's gonna face CM Punk this Sunday at Night of Champions for the WWE Championship, John Cena!"

[John Cena Musik ertönt und dieser macht sich auf dem Weg zum Ring.]

John Cena: "Bret, first things first, thank you very much for the opportunity for the interview."

Bret Hart: "Now John, I wanna ask you, I see this whole thing happening, this whole feud you got with CM Punk and I gotta be honest, it reminds me a lot of the same problems I had with Shawn Michaels. Once upon a time Shawn Michaels and I, we were mutual friends, we had this mutual respect for one another and by the end of it, years later, we had this feud, this rivalry, this thing about winning the championship, you know, it almost destroyed our lives. So when I look at you, I just wanna ask you, when I look at you, I see a lot of myself and at the same time, when I look at CM Punk, I have to admit, I see a lot of the old Shawn Michaels. What do you think about that?"

John Cena: "Bret, first of all, thank you very much for even mentioning me in the same sentence as Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. I agree with these people, I still have plenty of work to do to earn that accolade. CM Punk also has some work to do, but immediately the differences between HBK and CM Punk are obvious. ["You can't wrestle" Chants werden laut] The thing that I love most about Montreal is they recognize a Hall of Famer when they see one. I could never lace your boots [Lauter Jubel] but as far as you comparing Punk to Shawn Michaels, Shawn Michaels never portrayed something that he wasn't. You see, when HBK was a jerk, and that was often, he owned up to it. Punk is a guy who says he's a man of the people, says he's the voice of the voiceless, but all he's been lately is an insecure dude that constantly has to tell you how good that he is. You see, Shawn Michaels earned respect because he stood for something and here tonight these people adore you because they know that you stand for something. Quite frankly, CM Punk right now is just a desperate, delusional young man who thinks lettering in gold by any means necessary equals respect."

Bret Hart: "Let me ask you this, John Cena: What are you gonna do to finally shut this phony little punk up?

[CM Punk erscheint unter Buhrufen in der Halle]

CM Punk: "Phony? Phony? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the people, did you call me a phony?"

Bret Hart: "Phony little punk."

John Cena: "Let me handle this one. Yes, he called you a phony, does that irritate you? Does that make you wanna come down here and maybe do something about it? If that's the case, I'm calling you a phony, too. Two things happen at this point, you either stay up there or you come in here, there is 40 feet of distance and three ropes between you and the worst decision of your life."

CM Punk: "Well, if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black, I don't know what is. It's quite ironic the biggest phony in World Wrestling Entertainment history decides to point his finger and casts judgment on its champion. Well, John-Boy, I don't need your judgment and I don't need your permission. I do what I want, I do what I decide and right now I decided to come out here and defend my good name in the face of such rampant, ridiculous disrespect. It almost breaks my heart to see the two of you standing in the ring together. It makes me realize: 'Wow, the Hitman and John Cena are so much alike' and trust me, that's not a compliment. You two can sit here, pat each other on the back, and have a little power hour and talk about how great the both of you were at being the top guy and completely neglect to mention the fact that you were both unceremoniously surpassed by somebody far superior than yourselves. John, in your instance, I, of course, am speaking of me, and Hitman in your case, obviously, I'm talking about Shawn Michaels. And by the way, you can't draw a line of comparison between CM Punk and Shawn Michaels, not the old Shawn, not the new Shawn because I am better than Shawn Michaels. [Laute Buhrufe] Oh hey, hey, hey. Bret, Hitman, remember that hillbilly you made pass out to your little Sharpshooter at WrestleMania 13? Stone Cold Steve Austin? I'm better than him, too. [Laute Buhrufe] And I'm better than the the Rock. And we all said, we all knew and we all saw what I did to him in one night when he showed me one iota of disrespect. John-Boy I did in one night what you couldn't do in an entire calendar year. I am the best WRESTLER, I am the best TALKER, I am the best TECHNICIAN, I am the best BRAWLER and I don't say these things from a place of insecurity and I apologize for your lack of self-confidence but I say it because I AM IT! And that makes me anything but a phony."

John Cena: "He's right, he's right because that last statement makes you a liar, a hypocrite and a conceited scumbag, congratulations! You can also add that to your résumé. You don't listen to these people tonight, I realize that Montreal is a very honest city. For years WWE has referred to this building as bizzaro world. Quite frankly, you folks are just honest, you tell us how you feel whether it is something that we wanna hear or not. Tonight I'm gonna take a lesson from Montreal and actually hit you in the face with a dose of truth, whether you want to hear it or not. For 300 days you have been WWE Champion, for 300 days that championship has been irrelevant. Month after month you watched main event by main event pass you by and your excuse that there's some sort of weird political conspiracy against you, but the fact is there is no you. You see, you have been here for many, many, many years and the night you made the most noise was ironically the night your microphone was turned silent. Ah, I remember those days. Talk about change, passionate, convicting talk of change and then one triumphant night in Chicago when you were the victor and the universe finally said: 'We get change!' And they were lied to, they were fooled into a false claim because change was not ice cream bars, change was not edgy television. Change wasn't even new talent, all you meant by 'We want change' was 'Make CM Punk a star'. You don't even know who CM Punk is. I remember in those rants that you once said that I'd become what I despise, in reference to success. No, I went from a underdog to an odds-on favorite, but I did it as me. Through all of this, through all of this, the wins, the losses, the championships, the year when I didn't win the big one at WrestleMania, the embarrassment, the humiliate that I've had to stand on my own two feet and do it as me. And there is you. You have changed your ideology numerous times, you stabbed your friends in the back, you borrow colors from Hall of Famers, you steal the elbow of the late Randy Savage. All because you have yet to find you. I'm not saying you are not tough. I've been in the ring with you. And I'm not saying you are not accomplished, but your latest phase of development revolves around this. [deutet auf den WWE Championship Gürtel] You think because you have this you are justified of respect. No, the reason you have that and have kept it is by any means necessary and that does not define a champion in my eyes. So at Night of Champions you are going to have to search for a new identity. You been really, really loud these past weeks because you finally realized that at Night of Champions you are in serious jeopardy of losing this. I don't wanna do this but the city of Montreal is kinda owing me a favor so I wanna pay one back to you. I'm a little rusty... [Cena fängt an französisch zu sprechen, worauf das Publikum mit großem Jubel reagiert]...which means, which means..."

CM Punk: "Which means that you have lowered yourself. You have lowered yourself to their level. To speak their language, to speak the language of the locals. You have lowered yourself."

John Cena: "Enough! Enough! Listen up, Jack, I don't lower myself to them because they are the reason we are here! You are an ignorant son of a bitch! [schlägt Punk das Mikro aus der Hand] You need a little bit of respect! So, in English, what I said was you say you're gonna win at Night of Champions but I'm just gonna kick your ass!"

[Punk und Cena starren sich an. Auf einmal will Punk Bret Hart schlagen aber Cena hält ihn davon ab und schubst Punk weg. Cena zieht sein Shirt aus und bereitet sich auf den Kampf vor aber Punk versucht Hart nochmal zu schlagen, dieser wehrt den Schlag aber ab und befördert Punk selbst mit einem Schlag zu Boden. Bret Harts Theme ertönt, während Punk schockiert Cena und seinen Gürtel anschaut.]
