“I haven’t watched a wrestling program since well before I left WWE 2+ years ago. Heard about CM Punk’s promo and watched it this morning-WOW! That was awesome, as good as I have ever seen. I worked with CM when he first became champ-really enjoyed it and really happy to see what a stud he has become. When you can put doubt as to whether shoot or work-you have done your job very well!”

KURT ANGLE THREATENS CM PUNK ON TWITTER
Kurt Angle wrote the following about CM Punk’s RAW promo on Monday night, on his Twitter page this afternoon:
“CM Punk had classic promo last night. Good for Him. But if U ever say another word about Me again, Ur toast! If U don’t believe Me, try Me!”
It should be noted that Punk didn’t mention Angle on Monday night. Angle may have been referring to a comment Punk made on Twitter a few months back, mocking Angle for when he said his Twitter was hacked.

FULL TRANSCRIPT OF CM PUNKS PROMO PAST WEEK
“John Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly can be, I want you to listen to me.
I want you to digest this because before I leave in 3 weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest.
I don’t hate you, John. I don’t even dislike you. I do like you. I like you a hell of a lot more than I like most people in the back.
I hate this idea that you’re the best. Because you’re not. I’m the best. I’m the best in the world. There’s one thing you’re better at than I am and that’s kissing Vince McMahon’s ass.
You’re as good as kissing Vince McMahon’s ass as Hulk Hogan was. I don’t know if you’re as good as Dwayne though. He’s a pretty good ass kisser. Always was and still is.
Whoops! I’m breaking the fourth wall! (Punk waves to the camera)
I am the best wrestler in the world.
I’ve been the best since day one when I walked into this company. And I’ve been vilified and hated since that day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to admit. That’s right, I’m a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar. And he split just like I’m splitting. But the biggest difference between me and Brock is I’m going to leave with the WWE Championship.
I’ve grabbed so many of Vincent K. McMahon’s brass rings that it’s finally dawned on me that there just that, they’re completely imaginary. The only thing that’s real is me and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years, I have proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this microphone, in that ring, even in commentary! Nobody can touch me!
And yet no matter how many times I prove it, I’m not on your lovely little collector cups. I’m not on the cover of the program. I’m barely promoted. I don’t get to be in movies. I’m certainly not on any crappy show on the USA Network. I’m not on the poster of WrestleMania. I’m not on the signature that’s produced at the start of the show. I’m not on Conan O’Brian. I’m not on Jimmy Fallon. But the fact of the matter is, I should be.
This isn’t sour grapes. But the fact that Dwayne is in the main event at WrestleMania next year and I’m not makes me sick!
Oh hey, let me get something straight. Those of you who are cheering me right now, you are just as big a part of me leaving as anything else. Because you’re the ones who are sipping on those collector cups right now. You’re the ones that buy those programs that my face isn’t on the cover of. And then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it in my face and get an autograph and try to sell it on Ebay because you’re too lazy to go get a real job.
I’m leaving with the WWE Championship on July 17th. And hell, who knows, maybe I’ll go defend it in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Maybe…I’ll go back to Ring of Honor.
(Punk looks at the camera and waves)
Hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing?
The reason I’m leaving is you people. Because after I’m gone, you’re still going to pour money into this company. I’m just a spoke on the wheel. The wheel is going to keep turning and I understand that. Vince McMahon is going to make money despite himself. He’s a millionaire who should be a billionaire. You know why he’s not a billionaire? Because he surrounds himself with glad-handed, non-sensical, douchebag (censored) yes men, like John Laurinaitis, who’s going to tell him everything he wants to hear, and I’d like to think that maybe this company will better after Vince McMahon is dead. But the fact is, it’s going to be taken over by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his stupid family.
Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon alright. We do this whole (anti) bully campaign
(Mic cut off.)”

NXT RESULT 6/28
It’s elimination time, as we head into the seventeenth week of NXT Redemption! The opening titles roll, and commentators Todd Grisham and William Regal welcome us from Phoenix, Arizona. Regal guesses that Conor O’Brian will be eliminated tonight as Darren Young makes his way to the ring.
-Darren says that Chavo Guerrero is not here because he quit on him. He’s done more than Chavo in his short time here, and he’s done it all by myself. He says that tonight, he’s going to show everyone why he’ll be the NXT winner. Conor O’Brian walks out and says that when he’s done with Darren, there won’t be any more talks about what Darren has done. The only talk will be about how Conor O’Brian took your NXT Redemption and turned it into absolute destruction.
Match #1: Darren Young vs. Conor O’Brian
-The two rookies lock up and fight around the ring. Conor eventually pushes Darren and himself through the second rope to the outside. Conor gets back into the ring, Darren follows, and Conor drops him with a clothesline. He then goes to strikes, hitting Darren with a European uppercut for a two-count. He rams Darren into the turnbuckle, then pulls him out into a short-arm clothesline. It gets a two-count, and Conor applies a modified wristlock. Darren gets up and runs the ropes, hitting a shoulder block, but Conor gets up and stops Darren in his tracks. Darren rolls off to the apron and Conor follows. Both men are on the apron and Darren hits a neckbreaker onto the apron as we go to commercial.

Conor slowly makes his way to his feet and hits a quick flapjack on Darren. He then slingshots Darren into the turnbuckle and tries for a school boy, but Darren kicks out. Darren whips Conor into the corner and Darren runs the ropes, but he gets leveled with a huge big boot. Conor suplexes Darren onto the ropes. Darren gets up and quickly slams Conor’s shoulder into the second turnbuckle. Darren then hits the Three Amigos on Darren, and goes up to the top rope to a chorus of boos.

Both men hit the ropes and both men hit a flying clothesline. Both men are down as the referee starts the count. They both get up at 5 and Yoshi starts with the Flair chops.

CM PUNK'S PROMO WAS NOT SCRIPTED
Sources report that CM Punk’s entire promo at the end of RAW this week was improvised by Punk and not scripted. Nobody in the back knew what Punk was going to say until he said it live on RAW.
WWE officials told Punk to go out and say in his own words why he was leaving the company, why he wanted the WWE Title and why he wanted to leave with it in his possession. There was a discussion that when officials felt Punk was going too far, they would pull the plug on the segment and cut his mic.
It’s said that Punk was upset months ago when Triple H came back to feud with The Undertaker and while some of his comments on RAW towards Vince McMahon were well thought out to appear not as a shoot to the average viewer, most believe that Punk’s comments towards Triple H and John Laurinaitis were strictly a shoot.
Word also is that Punk had some notes for his speech jotted down on his wrist tape.
As far as his contract status, Punk’s deal apparently expires the second week of July but he signed an extension to work through Money in the Bank. Still with last night’s new storyline development, sources maintain that Punk is leaving at Money in the Bank.
WWE officials told Punk to go out and say in his own words why he was leaving the company, why he wanted the WWE Title and why he wanted to leave with it in his possession. There was a discussion that when officials felt Punk was going too far, they would pull the plug on the segment and cut his mic.

SETH ROLLINS(TYLER BLACK) IS SET TO RETURN TO WWE
FCW stars were forced to perform in the rain at the June 24th outdoor show in Bradenton, Florida. Regarding the experience and his WWE future, former ROH star Seth Rollins (Tyler Black) wrote the following on Twitter:
“Wrestled in the pouring rain for the first time in my near 7 year career. It was awesome. Kind of made me realize I’ve been having a lot of fun in FCW. But at the same time I can’t wait to get on the road and take WWE…and the world..by storm. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be and in my heart of hearts I feel that my time is near.”
