-CM Punk now makes his way to the ring. Punk and Cena stand off, and Punk holds the title in the air to show off. Cena points and says it will be his, and then tosses Punk away as Show enters the ring. They brawl as Punk chills on the mat. Cena picks up Show for an AA, and Punk stops it like last week. Crowd boos and Punk asks "what?" Punk to commentary, and says that maybe this his fault that it is a triple threat at Summerslam. Maybe he has let people disrespect him. He kissed babies, shook hands and kissed ass, but look now, he does what he does best. Raw ends with CM Punk, standing tall with the WWE Champion. Because he is the best in the world, and if anyone stand sin his way, he will leave them laying on the mat like Cena and Show.
