" ... Love, your hate..
Your, faith lost..
You are now.. one of us!"

"Miseria Cantare" by AFI pounds throughout the arena speakers, signifying the arrival of one man - CM Punk. The capacity crowd erupts into a thunderous roar of cheers. After a short while, the man of the hour quietly steps through the curtain, wearing black shorts and his trademark t-shirt. Punk outstretches his arms and walks to the center of the stage, soaking in the crowds reaction. Punk has a pipebomb in his right hand. He slowly raises it to his mouth and begins to speak as his music is cut.
CM Punk: It seems to me we have a different definition of the word "greatness", Randal. I hate to be the bearer of bad news here, but nothing you've done over the past couple of months constitutes as great.. not in the slightest. Let's see, you've managed to create another one of Randy Orton's trademark mediocre factions with mediocre talent, only this time, it's even more unoriginal than the Legacy was. Hell, I didn't even think it was possible! It was bad enough when you tried to emulate Triple H by taking Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes in as your proteges, but now, you're taking credit for something you had absolutely nothing to do with. The New World Order? Seriously? News flash Randal, it's 2012, not 1996. How you can give yourselves that name without having any affiliation with the original group baffles me beyond belief. The new world order was original, it was fresh, and they ushered in a new era for professional wrestling. This on the other hand is just another one of your pathetic attempts to manipulate others for your own personal gain.
CM Punk takes a pause and continues walking down the ramp as he turns his attention to Cody Rhodes.
CM Punk: And luckily enough, someone just so happened to be stupid enough to fall for your devious little plan a second time.. Cody Rhodes. How does it feel to let this man emasculate you for the second time in your career? Now I heard what you said, how this time around it's different, how you're a bunch of equals, and how you believe it's your turn to lead.. right? Well I'm pretty sure that deep down we both know that's a bunch of utter crap! Randal has you eating from the palm of his hand. He's pulling your strings like a puppet, and for some reason, you're still too blind to see it. But that's alright, because soon enough you'll learn as your entire world ends up caving in around you. Enjoy calling yourself Raw's quote-on-quote "true champion" while you can, because in two weeks at The Great American Bash, in my hometown of Chicago, I'm going to take that United States championship away from you. And this Tuesday when we lock up on RAW? Well, that's just going to be a little taste of what I have in store for you.
Punk takes a short pause as he continues to walk down the entrance ramp. As the crowd dies down, he begins to speak once again.
CM Punk: When it comes to my partners, we may not always see eye-to-eye, but I can guarantee we're more unified and ready for battle than you three. There's no manipulation, there's no using each other for our own selfish gain. We're just three of the best wrestlers on this roster with one common goal.. and that's kicking your ass! Our mutual hatred for your pathetic excuse of a faction is what will bring us together, and this Tuesday Night on RAW, Randal, Cody, and the third stooge who's still hiding in the back, you all will find out why I am.. the best in the world!
Your, faith lost..
You are now.. one of us!"
