And it did not go unnoticed by CM Punk who laid out a passionate speech in the midst of the adoring crowd with backstage correspondent Jackie Redmond. Punk, who has already declared for the Royal Rumble, warned: "Nobody can beat me when I'm at my best. You say John Cena? I can't see John Cena throwing me over the top rope on February the first. Did you say Roman Reigns? Roman Reigns needed my help to settle family business at WarGames.
"And in the Royal Rumble, there are no friends. It's every man for himself. I put Drew McIntyre in the dirt. Don't ask me about Sami Zayn, he's not on my level. You put Hulk Hogan in the Royal Rumble, I'll throw his dusty a-- over the top rope and I'll kill Hulkamania once and for all."
