Here is the transcript of CM Punk’s RAW promo.....
(Punk sits down at the top of the ramp)
John
Cena, while you lay there, hopefully as uncomfortable as you possibly
can be, I want you to listen to me. I want you to digest this, because
before I leave in three weeks with your WWE Championship, I have a lot
of things I wanna get off my chest.
I
don't hate you, John. I don't even dislike you. I like you a hell of a
lot more than I like most people in the back. I hate... this idea...
that you're the best... because you're not. I'm the best. I'm the best
in the world. There's one thing you're better at than I am, and that's
kissing Vince McMahon's ass. You're as good at kissing Vince's ass as
Hulk Hogan was. I don't know if you're as good as Dwayne... he's a
pretty good ass-kisser... always was and still is. Oops... I'm breaking
the fourth wall. [Punk waves to the camera.] I am the best...
wrestler... in the world. I've been the best ever since Day One when I
walked into this company, and I've been vilified and hated since that
day because Paul Heyman saw something in me that nobody else wanted to
admit. That's right, I'm a Paul Heyman guy. You know who else was a Paul
Heyman guy? Brock Lesnar... and he split, just like I'm splittin', but
the biggest difference between me and Brock is that I'm going to leave
with the WWE Championship.
I've grabbed so many of Vincent K.
McMahon's imaginary brass rings that it's finally dawned on me that
they're just that. They're completely imaginary. The only thing that's
real is me, and the fact that day in and day out, for almost six years,
I've proved to everybody in the world that I am the best on this
microphone, in that ring, and even on commentary. Nobody can touch me.
And yet, no matter how many times I prove it, I'm not on your lovely
little collectors' cups, I'm not on the cover of the program, I'm barely
promoted, I don't get to be in movies, I'm not on any crappy show on
the USA Network, I'm not on the poster of WrestleMania, I'm not on the
signature that's produced at the start of the show. I'm not on Conan
O'Brian, I'm not on Jimmy Fallon, but the fact of the matter is I should
be, and trust me, this isn't sour grapes, but the fact that "Dwayne" is
in the main event of WrestleMania next year and I'm not makes me sick!
Oh
hey, let me get something straight, those of you who are cheering me
right now... you are just as big a part of me leaving as anyone else,
because you're the ones sipping out of those collector cups right now,
you're the ones that buy those programs that my face isn't on the cover
of, and then at five in the morning at the airport, you try to shove it
in my face thinking you can get an autograph and sell it on eBay because
you're too lazy to get a real job.
I'm leaving with the WWE
championship on July 17 and hell, who knows, maybe I'll go defend it in
New Japan Pro Wrestling... maybe I'll go back to Ring of Honor... [Punk
waves to the camera again] hey, Colt Cabana, how you doing? The reason
I'm leaving is you people because after I'm gone you're still going to
pour money into this company -- I'm just a spoke on the wheel -- the
wheel's gonna keep turning. And I understand that... that Vince
McMahon's gonna make money despite himself... he's a millionaire who
should be a billionaire... you know why he's not a billionaire? It's
because he surrounds himself with glad-handing nonsensical [censored]
yes-men like John Lauranitis, who's gonna tell him everything he wants
to hear... and I'd like to think that maybe this company will be better
after Vince McMahon is dead, but the fact is it's gonna get taken over
by his idiotic daughter and his doofus son-in-law and the rest of his
stupid family.
Let me tell you a personal story about Vince McMahon. You know we do this whole bully campaign...
(Microphone
is cut off. Punk hits the mic a few times, says something inaudible,
yells "I've been silenced", and we fade to black.)
