Promo Data
John Cena: [raising his championship above his head] Get used to it, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This is what a winner looks like. I am a winner; CM Punk is a loser, because he's been out-cornered, he's been out-manuevered, and he is out of tricks, because I am a genius. Night of Champions is now a formality and CM Punk can do nothing about it.
[CM Punk enters to Cena's "Basic Thuganomics" theme, dressed as Cena's "Doctor of Thuganomics" character]
CM Punk: "Yo, check it, this is basic Punkanomics,
Don't adjust your television set, your eyes are working just right,
This clown plagiarised my pipebomb, so now I'm stealing Word Life.
And you had to rip me off to cut your best promo,
Just to distract from the fact that we all see you move in slo-mo.
Remember when he used to rap? You deserve all the criticism,
You're like a Temu Macklemore, but with Mackle-less rhythm.
And he said I'm a problem, he called me a player later,
Let's be honest, John Cena's buried more talent than the Undertaker.
That's why he's the champ! And he went and lost all his respect.
But hey, John, I get it, I'd retire too if this place rehired my ex. [see Note 1]
If you never said your prayers, ate your vitamins, or fixed your bald spot,
You wouldn't be a pro-wrestler; you'd be a Boston mall cop.
But hey, he gets good movie roles, that much is a fact,
But we see Batista act, and we realise John ain't that.
Same shirt, same hat, man your persona's stayed tragic,
You're like a fish-bellied Hulk Hogan, but somehow more problematic.
Yo, when it comes to Best in the World, I'm your vessel,
Because millions chant my name, and at you, they can't 'you can't wrestle'.
Get it in while you can, in six months, he'll be gone, and I'm still be here, having fun.
He won't have time for you little people any more, he'll busy washing underwear for James Gunn.
Yeah, yeah, he's a superhero now. He works for DC.
But no matter how hard you try, you'll still always be The Marine to me. [see Note 2]
And that's straight-to-DVD, better find a PS3,
And I now understand "You can't see me."
It's a hell of a catchphrase, John, but now it's all done,
Because we all see you, and we're looking at a washed up bum.
Fourteen years ago today, I dropped the legendary pipebomb,
and you tried to make it all about you, because that's what you do, John.
You're a leech, you're a phony, you're a fraud, you're an ass-kiss [sic]
Seventeen-time world champion, but ain't never been on my class.
Before you go, John, there's one more wish to make,
Tomorrow night, you're gonna lose to Kendrick, because bitch, you're my Drake!" [see Note 3]
[Punk drops the mic and does the you-can't-see-me gesture before leaving the ring]
