He says he knows a guy who comes out and asks what they want to talk about, so he is going to get a little spicy and asked who they want him to talk about. Then said he could talk about Cody Rhodes. He has some stories and then he said Roman Reigns and acknowledged him and said don’t forget who the original Paul Heyman guy is. He said he either goes to Raw and hangs out with Jey Uso or stays with Smackdown and scraps with Jimmy Uso.
He said he doesn’t know if he could tag with Randy but knows he could tag with Randy’s partner tonight and that is L.A. Knight. He then says he and Kevin Owens are too much alike.
Punk goes on to say everyone is welcoming back even JBL, who is on commentary tonight but only one guy has not welcomed him back and he isn’t even the Man in his own household. But he will make his decision where he will make his mind up on Monday. He will listen to Nick Aldis, he has a call with Shawn Michaels about NXT, and he will listen to Adam Pearce Monday and will continue his journey and he wants to main event WrestleMania.
