IN THE RING
Triple H: Triple H said SummerSlam will be a historic night where the entire landscape of the business changes (did HHH get his hands on one of TNA’s scripts?). HHH hyped WWE champion John Cena vs. WWE champion C.M. Punk. HHH said change has been a big thing around here lately. HHH promised that there would be one winner (Undisputed champion) and one loser this Sunday. HHH wondered how he could enforce that promise. HHH said he found a man to referee the match and that man is HIM! HHH said he was the only guy he could trust around there. HHH hyped a contract signing tonight between Cena and Punk. HHH said both of those men will have individual competition tonight, starting with John Cena right now!

BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW

IN THE RING
Triple H & John Laurenitis + WWE champion C.M. Punk + WWE champion John Cena: Suddenly John Laurenitis is a chararter on WWE TV. Triple H introduced WWE champion C.M. Punk, then introduced WWE champion John Cena. Punk showed a clip of The Rock cutting a promo on John Cena. Punk said “Dwayne” was just a big a phony as Cena was. Punk wanted to just sign the contract but Cena cut him off. Cena said Punk has the people going crazy and that’s what he loves to see. Cena said the Rock has done it all, but there is no reason for him be mad about anything. Cena said Rock flips out because of the way he acts and dresses. Cena said Punk thinks he’s a product of the system and a little too PG. Cena suggested he was a modern day Hulk Hogan. Cena said the Rock is a star and he has his millions (of fans). Cena said he can talk trash but he will never win over the millions. Cena said Punk compared him to the New York Yankees, the most loved and hated team in all of sports. Cena said Punk was absolutely right, because there are so many people that hate him. Cena said he’s not concerned with those people, but he is concerned about the people who have been loyal to him over the years. Cena said those are the people he cares about. The camera zoomed in on a hot girl wearing a tight John Cena t-shirt. Cena said a few weeks ago Punk was making demands but now he’s come back as the “voice of the voiceless?” Cena told Punk if he was looking for phony he should look in the mirror. Triple H cut in and accused Punk of holding out for more money and more perks. Punk asked HHH who fired people around here, and then pointed at John Laurenitis. Punk asked John if he personally face-to-face fired Vladimir Kozlov, Harry Smith, or Chris Masters last week. Punk told HHH not to call him gutless when JL does his dirty work. The crowd suddenly erupted in a loud chant of “C.M. Punk!” Punk said it was easy for Cena to act noble when he is placed on a pedistal. Punk said a few years ago he won the ECW title and the next day suddenly Cena spoke his first words to him, saying “good match, congratulations champ, I almost gave up on you!” Punk said he holds grudges, and ever since then he’s had a sour taste in his mouth. Punk said Cena gave up on his dream when he became a sports entertainer because he couldn’t cut it as a body-builder. Punk said he started as a professional wrestler and he fought to get where he is right now. Punk confirmed that he held up the WWE for some perks and still wants his face on an ice-cream bar. Punk said he had to fight for the opportunities that have just been handed to John Cena. Punk said seven years ago Cena walked in and won his first WWE title, and he’ll walk out of SummerSlam with NOTHING! Punk said Cena will not be WWE champion, because the WWE champion will be HIM! Punk dropped the mic and signed the contract. The crowd erupted in another chant for “C.M. Punk!” Cena grinned and said it was a good speech. Cena said Punk won ONE match in Chicago at Money in the Bank. Cena asked Punk what would happen is Punk LOST at SummerSlam. Cena said Punk needs this match more than anyone. Cena said Punk speaks his mind, but if he loses at SummerSlam he will be a loudmouth one-hit wonder. Cena said if Punk doesn’t produce on Sunday, all of this will be gone just like that. Cena wished Punk luck and signed the contract. Punk said luck is for losers and he would rather be a one hit wonder then a phony. Cena said they’ve been out there for a while and this talking thing is wearing thin. Both men stood up and Cena flipped the table over. They went nose-to-nose and John Laurenitis pulled them apart. Punk went to kick Cena but accidentally knocked out Laurenitis. HHH tackled Punk and stood beside Cena. Punk called it a “company picture” and asked HHH if the fix was in.
