CM Punk’s music hits, and he and Paul Heyman are standing at the top of the entrance ramp. The Rock challenges Punk, and tells him to “bring it.” Punk and Heyman walk to the ring, and it looked like they would change their mind, but instead, Punk goes right after The Rock. The fight ensues, and The Rock gets the upper hand. He is about to hit Punk with the People’s Elbow, but Heyman distracts The Rock, and Punk is now able to hit the GTS on The Rock!
With The Rock in the middle of the ring, dazed from the GTS, Punk grabs the WWE title and walks up the ramp. At the top of the ramp, Punk stops and tells The Rock, “Every time you want to bring it (because it belongs to me), I’m just gonna take it.” Punk raises his arms and the WWE title as the show ends.
