Now with CM Punk becoming the new WWE Champion as a result of the chance of a lifetime battle royal who will step up and challenge the new champ?
Location: SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
The night kicked off with the COO Triple H in the middle of the ring, he welcomed out the new WWE Champion CM Punk. Punk came out to a standing ovation from the Seattle crowd, Punk said it feels damn good being the WWE Champion. Out comes Chris Jericho who says that Punk robbed him of that title, because Jericho was never actually eliminated in the battle royal. But was mistakenly ejected from the match, Triple H is shown footage by Jericho on the titantron to prove his case. Triple H agreed that Jericho was never eliminated, and that he'll be in a #1 contender's match against Batista.
