We start off tonight’s show with Todd and Matt talking about what happened last week between Rey Mysterio and CM Punk. We then go to a video package of the heinous acts by CM Punk.
We are live on tape and your announcers are Todd ‘Road to Summerfest starts tonight’ Grisham and Todd ‘Starburns’ Striker.
Rey Mysterio comes to the ring and he has a very serious look on his face. He says that he hasn’t had a moment of peace for the last week. Every time he closes his eyes, he can see his daughter crying. He sees his wife and son looking at him putting the weight of the world on his shoulders. This is all because of CM Punk. Rey says that he has climbed a lot of mountains during his career. He has taken beatings, he has won titles. He has been embarrassed and afraid, but Punk crossed a line that shouldn’t be crossed. This is beyond the brainwashing his Straight Edge Society and Sea of Lies. Rey reminds us about the challenge at Wrestlemania. Rey says that he accepts the challenge but it is not any match. Rey says that he does not want to compete against Punk. He wants to face Punk in a Street Fight. Rey says that Punk needs to learn a lesson that you don’t mess with another man’s family. Rey says that is a lesson that he is going to teach Punk.
CM Punk’s music plays and he goes to the stage with Luke Gallows and Serena. Punk asks Rey if he is being a bit emotional, so he is going to keep his distance from Rey. Punk understands what Rey is feeling because last week Rey showed everyone that he is a coward. Rey tells Punk to keep his family out of this. Punk says that he knows that Rey is filled with anger and rage and that is no way to deal with his problems.
Rey tells Punk that he has no idea what he is feeling because you need to be human to know what he is feeling. Rey tells Punk that he is not human and that he is a monster. Rey says that he should go up the ramp and give Punk the beating he deserves for last week.
Punk tells Rey that he is better off staying in the ring because if Rey lays a hand on him before Wrestlemania, there is no match at Mania. Punk says that he sees the potential in Rey to be a part of the Straight Edge Society. Punk says that he has been on the same rollercoaster with his family, but he doesn’t have to close his eyes to remember the birthday party last week. Punk says that he has pictures of the party and we see a photo from last week and Punk talks about how much Aaliyah trusts her father in that photo and that he will make everything okay. Then we see the photo of Aaliyah cowering behind her father hoping that her daddy will make the monster go away. Punk reminds Rey that the monster did not go away and then we see Aaliyah hiding from Punk. Punk says that it is not the moment that she knew that he could not protect her or the moment that his family realized that Rey is a coward. It is not the moment when Dominic knew that he was more of a man than his father. Punk says that was the moment that he knew that Rey could be saved. Punk tells Rey that if he joins him, he can be the father that Rey should be.
Rey says that he is not like Punk and Punk says that is true because he is straight edge and he is better than Rey. Punk tells Rey that he can live up to the superhero myth if he accepts Punk as his savior.
Rey tells Punk that he is out of his mind. Rey says that will never happen because if Punk doesn’t accept the challenge, Punk will have to live with the fact that he will have to fight Rey every day. Rey tells Punk that it is his choice and he can say yes or no.
Punk says that he doesn’t like either option so he has a counter offer. Punk says that if Rey can beat the right hand of the Straight Edge Society. If Rey wins, he gets his street fight. Punk says that if Rey loses tonight and then at Wrestlemania, Rey will have to join the Straight Edge Society. He points out that Rey will have to accept Punk as his savior on the grandest stage. That way Rey can forget that last week ever happened.
Rey thinks about it and he says that it is an image that he will always remember. Rey tells Punk that he will take that image until the day he dies. Rey says that he will beat Luke Gallows tonight like he beat him before. Rey says that he will make sure that Punk will never forget the beating that he is going to give him at Wrestlemania.
