Bret Hart says John Cena reminds him of himself, while CM Punk reminds him of the old Shawn Michaels.

John Cena thanks Bret Hart for the high praise, then says the difference between HBK and CM Punk are obvious, Shawn Michaels never portrayed something that he wasn’t. Unlike CM Punk, who claims to be the “Voice Of The Voiceless” but only cares about himself. Bret Hart asks John Cena what is he going to do to shut the “Phony Little Punk” up until CM Punk comes out and interrupts. Before Bret Hart can continue, John Cena says he’ll handle this situation.

CM Punk calls John Cena the biggest phony in the WWE, then comes down to the ring and defends himself. CM Punk says Bret Hart and John Cena are a lot alike, but that’s not a compliment. Punk says Bret and Cena were both surpassed by Superstars far superior then them.

CM Punk claims that he’s much better than Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

CM Punk says he’s better than The Rock and that he did in one night what John Cena couldn’t do to The Rock all year. CM Punk says he’s the best wrestler, talker, technician and brawler and says he doesn’t say this out of insecurity, he says these things because he is those things and that makes him anything but a phony. John Cena says that CM Punk’s statements make him a liar, a hypocrite and a conceited scumbag.

John Cena puts over Montreal as “Bizzaro World” and says they’re always honest. Cena says he’s going to take a page out of Montreal and hit CM Punk with a dose of truth. John Cena says CM Punk has been WWE Champion for 300 days and for 300 days the WWE Championship has been irrelevant.

John Cena calls CM Punk out on wanting to change the WWE. Cena says the WWE Universe was lied to. There was no Ice Cream Bars, Edgy Television or New Talent and all CM Punk wanted to do was a star. Cena says that CM Punk doesn’t even know who he is.

John Cena says that unlike CM Punk, he’s always been himself. Unlike CM Punk who’s changed numerous times, stabs friends in the back, borrows colors from Hall Of Famers, and steals the elbow of the late “Macho Man” Randy Savage because he has yet to find himself. John Cena says that being the WWE Champion doesn’t justify respect and at Night Of Champions, CM Punk is in serious jeopardy of losing the Championship.

John Cena speaks French and the crowd pops huge. CM Punk calls John Cena out for lowering himself to speaking the language of the “locals.”

John Cena gets pissed off and calls CM Punk an ignorant son of a bitch. Cena puts the fans over as the reason they are here tonight then translates his French. Cena says, ays i “You say you’re going to win at Night Of Champions, but I’m just going to kick your ass.”

CM Punk tries to attack Bret Hart but John Cena stops him. Cena takes off his shirt ready to fight, but CM Punk backs up. CM Punk tries to attack Bret Hart again but Bret Hart punches him.

CM Punk backs away as John Cena and Bret Hart stand tall in the ring. Michael Cole informs us that Jerry Lawler’s condition has stabilized and that he’s breathing on his own and that his heart is beating on its own. Michael Cole encourages thoughts and prayers for Jerry “The King Lawler” and tells Jerry to beat this thing.
