Bullshit.

That's the only acceptable response to what happened in CM Punk's match with Matt Cardona last week. CM Punk had Cardona defeated. Dead to rights. But thanks to a well timed shot to the forehead with a fucking action figure, Cardona retained a title he hardly deserves.

Now Punk is in a tough spot. Booked in a clustrfuck of six man tag match, CM Punk now has to figure out how he's giong to navigate his next steps in WLCW. There is no roadmap to follow. The plan Punk put into action last week failed.

But when backed into a corner, CM Punk will fight back tooth and nail. He's not happy about standing side by side with Eddie Kingston and Prince Devitt, but the opportuity is there for him to get a little revenge on Matt Cardona and remind the world why CM Punk is lynchpin to WLCW's success. Cardona might have kept the X-Division Title, but CM Punk is taking the true prize. WLCW will be his playground to manipulate. Forget championships, CM Punk will win the hearts and minds of the WLCW faithtful. There isn't enough gold to satisfy guys like Matt Cardona and Cody Rhodes. Because no matter how much they shine up their belts, they'll wish they could be as importanta as the WLCW's savior, CM Punk.

CM Punk is seated at the observatory window of the iconic Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. The lights are dim, but through the large glass windows you can see Seattle's brightly lit skyline. CM Punk is standing with his hand on a railing and his back to the camera. He's looking out over the city as he speaks to us.

CM PUNK: Matt Cardona, last week's outcome was total bullshit. I know it, you know it, the whole world knows it. I had you beaten, but your loverboy Cody Rhodes gave you a little toy to even the odds. How apropos is that? I spent my promo talking up how you're nothing but a toy collector masquerading as a professional wrestler and you ended up stealing the win by using your most prized possession--a fucking toy.

Punk shakes his head in disbelief before speaking again.

CM PUNK: That's right. You care more about the trinkets that Cody Rhodes gives you then the X-Division Championship. Hell, you care more about Cody then your own dignity. Do you even have a personality or an opinion, or do you exist to serve your master? I'm starting to think that you're destined to be Cody's little bitch. The Face of WLCW? Right, you know that you only get to call yourself that because Cody Rhodes lets you. Hell, your mere existence in this company is probably at his own discretion. When it's time to cast you aside, you'll be back to surfing the indies hoping for a little bit of notoriety from fans who seek you out for novelty's sake.

CM Punk turns to face the camera now.

CM PUNK: I'm more dangerous now then I was when we last met, Matt. I had my eyes set on winning a title. But now? I'm just ready to hurt somebody. I don't care what I have to do to make it happen, but I'm going to get my receipt for the shot you took at me last week. Hell, I must be losing my mind if I'm enlisting the help of Eddie Kingston and Prince Devitt. I knew that if I wanted to get my hands on you again, I needed to be crafy. Mick Foley wasn't going to book a direct rematch even though I definitely deserve one. Instead, I needed to find a loophole. So this six-man tag match is just way for me to get my hands on your scrawny neck. You'll wish you never took that shot at me, because the revenge is far worse then the original asskicking I was giving you last week. I don't want your title anymore, Matt. I want your head on a spike!.

Punk looks up, acknowledging that he is speaking from the top of a spike, the Space Needle.

CM PUNK: Take a good look at the Seattle skyline before showing up at the arena tonight, Cardona. Warn your buddies Atticus and Damian too. Becasue I'm hunting for skulls at Vengeance. The show is named that for a reason. I'm out for revenge, and I will do ANYTHING to get it. You made a mistake screwing me over, Cardona. At Vengeance, you'll pay dearly for it.

The scene fades to black.
