Backstage:
Josh Matthews is backstage with CM Punk. They look at what happened on Smackdown in Punk's match with Kane where Bryan got Punk DQ'ed and attacked by Kane. Punk says he feels like crap, and the only reason he's still standing here is because at the end of the night John Laurinaitis will be out of a job. He says he's known Daniel Bryan for ten years, and if you had told Vince McMahon that they'd be main eventing a PPV for the WWE Championship, he'd have asked who they were. He says the fact that they wrestle at such a high level should be a triumph for both of them.
