Punk smiled to himself. That's right, he was CM Punk now, not Phil. Phil was the poet, the philosopher, the wise sage who would lead round table discussions on the abject discrimination of mutant society in graphic novels. Punk, on the other hand, was the savage, the warrior, the champion who had defeated all challengers and become the BEST IN THE WORLD. He glanced at his opponent across the octagon with the same regard as one may give to an insect or a docile and malnourished retard child.

He always had old man Vince's ear, spreading lies and whispering poison, and through his machinations, had ultimately denied Punk his birthright, the main event at Wrestlemania.

He could imagine the terror inside Mickey, seeing him teleport across the cage in an instant. Punk almost felt sorry for the kid, he hadn't intended to unleash his most powerful technique on him but he felt it would be a greater mercy to end this quickly and spare Mickey the embarrassment. He cocked his fist back...
