We are live from Green Bay, Wisconsin and your announcers are Michael ‘What about Sin Cara’s Trampoline’ Cole and Jerry ‘Where in the World are Carmen Sandiego and CM Punk’ Lawler.

Vince McMahon’s music plays as Day One of WWE Under Punk and he comes to the ring with John Laurinaitis and the entire WWE locker room is watching in the back. The crowd chants ‘CM Punk’ and Vince isn’t sure what to do. Vince says that you will never hear him say that man’s name again. Vince says that they don’t get it. They are chanting the name of the biggest ingrate in WWE history. A man who turned his back on each and every one of you. He walked out on everyone in the locker room. He walked out on everyone who has ever been in this ring. He is nothing more than an egotistical, selfish turd. No one is bigger than the WWE and no one will ever be bigger than the WWE. Vince says that this is a global marketing promotional juggernaut that cannot be stopped.

Tonight, a new WWE Champion will be crowned tonight. Eight of Raw’s best will compete in a single elimination tournament. Rey Mysterio will face Dolph Ziggler. Jack Swagger will face R Truth. Kofi Kingston will face Alberto Del Rio. Alex Riley will face the Miz.

Miz advances to face the winner of the Alberto Del Rio/Kofi Kingston match in the second round.

Alberto Del Rio drives into the arena and he has something to say.

Alberto Del Rio comes out and he has changed his name to Mr. Money in the Bank Alberto Del Rio. Alberto reminds everyone that he won the Money in the Bank Ladder Match so he has the right to have a title match at any time and any place. He tried to cash it in last night, but CM Punk ran and ran like a chicken. All of this happened because John Cena couldn’t do the job. He says that he hopes that John Cena gets fired because the WWE needs a new leader. A better one, a stronger one. A superstar that everyone can respect. Alberto says that we all know that it is his destiny to be the WWE Champion.

Ricardo Rodriguez comes out and he announces Alberto as the winner of the Money in the Bank match since he was not there last night.
