CM Punk’s Pipebomb:

CM Punk takes the WWE Mic Flag off then addresses the past year and a half. CM Punk says no one understands what a Pipebomb is, and explains that it’s the truth and honest, which is what the WWE Universe lacks. Punk talks about the last year’s perception of him becoming the Voice of The Voiceless, then turning his back on the people. Punk said he meant everything he said last year except for Ice Cream, because the last thing the fans need is more ice cream.

CM Punk says that he could’ve left but instead he sold out, but what he really did was cash in. He created a persona that the fans would cheer for. Punk says it doesn’t matter if you’re the best wrestler, talker, commentator, but there’s a glass ceiling in the WWE. CM Punk says the more the WWE Universe cheer for every single superstar, the more the Superstar gets rewarded. Punk mentions Daniel Bryan spewing out catchphrases, Brodus Clay shuckin’ n jiving for the kids, and Little Jimmy getting more TV time than Tyson Kidd.

CM Punk calls us out for cheering exactly what he’s talking about and playing into his hands.

CM Punk says that the WWE is simple to digest because they can’t stomach anything complex or interesting. Punk says that it’s like the circus and the WWE Superstars are there to entertain the people, and no one is successful without the people. Until CM Punk arrived. CM Punk says he’s the most successful WWE Champion of all time, and if he was in Bruno Sammartino’s era, he would be champion for 30 years. CM Punk says he’s more successful than Hulk Hoan since Hogan never wrestled TLC Matches against guys like Ryback.

CM Punk says he mentions physically demanding matches week in and week out so 1 of his years = 30 years of Hogan/Sammartino’s. CM Punk says he wasn’t successful because of the people and it was all himself. CM Punk says there’s good guys and bad guys and that he is a bad bad man. Punk calls out superstars like Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Edge for claiming for doing it all for the adulation of the people, and calls them either weak or dishonest liars. CM Punk says he’s neither weak or dishonest. He’s The Best In The World.

CM Punk says there’s two types of people on Earth: Those born to be in the spotlight and those born to pay to see people in the spotlight. CM Punk says they’re born to pay to see champions like him and that he has never done this for any of you. While CM Punk mocks the WWE Universe, CM Punk is told to go to commercial break. Punk says that he goes to break when The Champ wants to go to break. CM Punk starts telling the WWE Universe that they don’t matter until he’s forced into commercial break.

RAW comes back form commercial with CM Punk trashing the audience. CM Punk says he stands in this ring on the first RAW of 2013 as WWE Champion and he will do the same in 2014. Punk mentions all the people who have failed to take the WWE Championship from him and that he refuses to let The Rock take everything he earned away from him. CM Punk says that when he beat Alberto Del Rio and the others, he beat the system and he beat each and each and every one of us.

CM Punk calls us all losers and says we do not get to win. He’s suddenly interrupted by The Rock!

The Rock and CM Punk have a staredown.

The Rock says he waited for CM Punk to finish so he knew what he had to deal with at the Royal Rumble. Rock realizes what kind of man CM Punk is: Delusional.

The Rock says CM Punk has been the WWE Champion for 414 days and that’s impressive, but real number CM Punk is obsessed with is 20, because in 20 days, The Rock will face CM Punk for the WWE Championship.

The Rock mentions that CM Punk didn’t reject the people. The People rejected CM Punk. The Rock mocks CM Punk for not even bringing back Ice Cream Bars then says he couldn’t provide ice cream if Dairy Queen, Carvel and Cookie Puss drove an ice cream truck straight up Punk’s ass.

The Rock defends the WWE Universe and says that CM Punk isn’t the Voice of The Voiceless because the WWE Universe uses their voice. Rock says that the people are going to use that voice to chant something that will haunt CM Punk for the rest of his life. The Rock proceeds to start a “Cookie Puss” chant.’

CM Punk mocks the WWE Universe for being puppets then mentions that Rock got them chanting for ice cream the same way he did. Punk says the people, just like The Rock, don’t get to win. The Rock says the people already won, when he woke up this morning then goes through his entire morning routine and works his way into a “FINALLY! THE ROCK! HAS COME BACK! TO TAMPA!”

The Rock says he’s back to entertain the people, to whip CM Punk and to win the WWE Championship. Rock says he’s watched every Monday Night RAW and all of CM Punk’s actions.

The Rock mentions that CM Punk claims to be straight edge, but he walks around looking like Popeye on Crack then proceeds to call him “Punk-eye the Crachead.”

The Rock says CM Punk has one of the most creative minds, but doesn’t use it. The Rock says once CM Punk became WWE Champion, he became the biggest jerk in the world. The Rock tells CM Punk as long as he’s here, don’t ever say that The People don’t matter because they always matter. The Rock says CM Punk’s the one that doesn’t matter. CM Punk says he matters, but The Rock cuts him off saying “IT DOESN’T MATTER THAT CM PUNK MATTERS!” The Rock says that there’s no way, and The Rock means no way, that CM Punk is going to stop The Rock from becoming WWE Champions.

CM Punk says he’s glad The Rock is back. He doesn’t care what The Rock’s schedule is, because he’ll still kick his ass. CM Punk says he doesn’t care how many movies The Rock films, when he comes back, he’ll kick his ass. Punk says Rock can talk about Punk’s t-shirt and his looks and do his tired schtick, but in 3 weeks time, CM Punk is going to kick his ass at the Royal Rumble. Punk tells The Rock his jabs and insults are kiddie games and at the Royal Rumble, when The Rock steps in the ring with Punk, his arms are too short to box with God…

The Rock says he knows how tough CM Punk is and that Punk knocked him out cold, but in 20 days, Punk will be going One-On-One with The Great One.


Note: This is a very good promo and all, but this is what happens when you pause the DVR in mid promo.

The Rock tells CM Punk for the next 20 days, he wants CM Punk to go home, look in the mirror and strip naked.

The Rock tells CM Punk to turn around and look at his backside and find a place that he does have tattoos, because he wants CM Punk to get more tattoos. Rock says he wants CM Punk to get a M & M, Snickers, and Milky Way,on his left buttcheek, but not an Almond Joy because those actually have nuts. The Rock tells CM Punk to get a tattoo of The Rock’s size 15 boot on his right buttcheek, so that he can have a permanent reminder of The Rock kicking his candy ass.

After that, The Rock hits CM Punk with the Rock Bottom.

The Rock and CM Punk stare down to end the show.
