John Cena confronts WWE Champion CM Punk, and Punk attacks Jerry Lawler: photos
Fresh off yet another successful WWE Title defense on pay-per-view, CM Punk makes his trademark entrance.
He immediately turns his attention to Jerry Lawler, who weeks ago accused Punk of turning his back on the WWE Universe.
He demands an apology from Lawler, but before "The King" begins to speak, familiar music hits.
John Cena arrives.
Seemingly unimpressed, Punk points out that he consistently takes a backseat to Cena, even though the championship gold is around Punk's waist.
The Second City Saint agrees to give Cena a title opportunity at Night of Champions, on one condition: that Cena admit Punk is the "Best in the World."
Cena tells Punk that he admires his forthright speech, but he cannot tell Punk the words he wants to hear. "To succeed, I have to believe every night, in my heart, that I am the best."
Cena points out that with Night of Champions being held in Cena's hometown of Boston, there'd be no better way for Punk to prove his mettle than to beat Cena on pay-per-view in September.
