"I've never done anything in my life just to be popular"

CM Punk: "I'll cut right to the chase, I wanted to come out here and clear up a few things. Ever since I cashed in my Money In The Bank briefcase at Extreme Rules, I've heard some grumblings, some vocal ones right now, too, that say I STOLE the World Heavyweight championship from Jeff Hardy. I'm sorry, I don't see it that way. Last year, when I cashed in my first Money In The Bank briefcase against Edge, I didn't see it that way then, and in fact, nobody saw it that way. I can't take back what I did, nor do I want do. I'm proud to stand here in this ring, right now, YOUR World Heavyweight champion for the second time. [überwiegend Buhrufe]

I earned the right to cash in my Money In The Bank briefcase, when I put my body on the line at WrestleMania. So last Sunday night, Extreme Rules, there was an opportunity to become World Heavyweight champion staring me right in the face, and I capitalized on it. That doesn't make me a bad guy, that's just the entire purpose behind the contract that's in the briefcase in the first place. Now obviously, it wasn't the most popular decision in the world, but I've never done anything in my life just to be popular. I've always done, what's best for me. [Buhrufe]

Now THIS [hält den Titel hoch], this right here is something that I've worked so veeerryy hard to obtain. [Buhrufe] This title right here is the entire reason I'm a WWE Superstar to begin with. This means the world to me. And I stand here in front all of you right now, to promise to bring respect, honor and integrity back to the World Heavyweight championship. I will represent the entire WWE and the SmackDown brand as champion to the best of my ability."

[Jeff Hardys Musik unterbricht Punk.]

Jeff Hardy: [wird von einem "Hardy"-Sprechchor vom Sprechen abgehalten] "Look, I didn't come out here to complain about what you did. That's not my style. [Jubel] You think you earned it? I don't agree. You guys think he earned it? ["NO"] Look, you won Money In The Bank, sure, you had the right to cash it in whenever you wanted to. But I'm telling you, Punk, you cashed in on the wrong guy."

CM Punk: "Okay, you're angry, I understand that. I'd be an idiot to walk out here and think that you weren't gonna be upset. I understand your point of view. Try, please, honestly Jeff, try to understand where I'm coming from! ["Hardy! Hardy!"] Jeff, Jeff, I didn't put you in a ladder match at Extreme Rules. You wanna know who did? YOU did! YOU chose a ladder match for you and Edge at Extreme Rules, and the night you did that a light bulb went up above my head, and I said: That's my night! Regardless, win, lose, whoever wins, it didn't matter to me. I made up my mind: I was cashing in that night. It just so happened, you won. Happens to the great's, man."

Jeff Hardy: "You know what, I don't care about your reasons. But you know what I sense? I sense selfishness. [Jubel] I mean, do you care about your fans? Listen! ["Hardy! Hardy!"] Look, Punk, I don't walk the same path as you and I never will, but I want my title back. I want my rematch tonight!"

[Edges Musik unterbricht die beiden.]

Edge: "No! Ah ah ah ah, no, no, no! Jeff, you want YOUR World Heavyweight championship back? You want YOUR title rematch tonight? I don't think so. If anyone is getting a rematch for that World Heavyweight championship tonight, it's me."

Jeff Hardy: "What? Have you lost it, Edge? I beat YOU! I won the ladder match! ["Hardy! Hardy!"] And why are you even out here? This isn't about you, this is about me and Punk."

CM Punk: "You know, finally we agree on something. He has a point, Edge. I didn't beat you to become champion, I beat him, so why don't you beat it..."

Edge: "Once again: NO! Okay? He got lucky at Extreme Rules. Hey, hey, and guess what? Both of you combined have not held that [den Titel] as much as me. FACTS! FACTS! Alright? He had the shortest World Heavyweight championship reign in the history of this company. But guess what, at least he has some originality, he is his own man. But Punk, I've been trying to find out what makes you tick ever since you got here. I've been watching you, been trying to figure out who you emulate, who you look up to. And I figured it out: You wanna be me! [Buhrufe]

Laugh all you want, pretty boy, you wanna be me. You do! You, eh, you call this unique life style you live 'Straight Edge'? HELLO? You NAMED it after me! You cashed in your Money In The Bank successfully TWICE, just like me. But here's a newsflash, Punk, you never have been, and you never will be ME! ["You suck! You suck!"] And here's another newsflash, hot of the presses: Jeff, you want another title shot? You gotta get behind me, cause when anyone is getting a rematch tonight, it's ME! Get it? Got it? GOOD!" [Buhrufe]

Jeff Hardy: "Yeah... not gonna happen, cause you're both full of..."
