Chants of CM PUNK! CM PUNK! CM PUNK! Echo throughout the Arena.*
"Look in my Eyes!!! What do you see?"*
CM Punk walks out on stage to a huge ovation from the WWE Universe. The roof is about to blow off as Punk stands on the stage smiling at the WWE Universe taking this all in.*
Punk walks down to the ring high firing fans a long the way and hugging them.* Chants of CM Punk still echoing.*
Punk climbs the ropes and into the ring as he looks out at the entire Universe. He grabs a microphone but doesn't speak as he stands in the middle of the ring soaking this all in.*
Punk: "Did you miss me?"
Fans cheer like crazy chanting CM PUNK! CM PUNK!
Punk continues.... "I hear you Los Angeles. I heard you for awhile. I'm back! And I'm back on my terms and my terms only. Last night at Extreme Rules I cost Triple H his shot at becoming the WWE Champion. For to long the McMahon Family has been throwing their weight around and bullying people. No more. I'm here to put an end to their Reign of terror on the WWE and I don't care if I have to go through each and everyone of the Authority starting with you Triple H. The King of Kings is gonna pay for his sins as his whole Kingdom will come crashing around you. I'm back baby and CM PUNK is coming for the Authority. "*
This prompts New Authority to make their way out onto the stage. Batista, Shawn Michaels, Shane McMahon, Vince McMahon and Triple H with Stephanie McMahon all wearing Suits. They all stare angrily at Punk who is just smirking back from the ring. Vince talks first.*
Vince: "Who in the hell do you think you are? Damnit Punk you're not welcomed here. You're not even under Contract! You're trespassing!"*
Punk laughs as Stephanie takes the Microphone.**
Stephanie: "YOURE A QUITTER! YOURE IN MY RING PUNK! You are not welcomed here. Get the hell out of my ring before I have you arrested!"*
Punk looks around the ring refusing to leave. Triple H grabs the Microphone but Punk cuts him off.*
Punk: "Oh good I was hoping to hear from your doofus mouth. And Stephanie your ring? I don't see your name on it. "*
H: "Listen closely Punk. You're on thin ice. You quit the WWE and now you're trespassing.* You have 30 seconds until we call Security and have you thrown out of the arena."*
Punk puts his hands up.. ok ok*
Punk: "Hunter you're right. You guys are right. I'm not under Contract by you. But I did buy myself a Ticket for the front row. So I'll exit your ring and just be a fan tonight. "*
Punk drops the mic and climbs out of the ring holding up his Ticket. He climbs the barrier and takes a seat by some fans high fiving them.*
Punk sits down and grabs a Fans Popcorn and begins eating cheering like a fan.*
Vince: "Punk listen closely. You interfere in ANY MATCHES tonight we will have you arrested and banned from the WWE forever."*
Punk smiles and gives New Authority a Thumbs up as they leave.*

Charlotte: "Let's get something straight right now. The Queen takes a backseat to nobody. Bellas I did you a favor when I decided to Team up with you against Absolution at Extreme Rules.* Why? Because nobody else would and that's because you two are selfish. Ever since you Two came to the WWE it was all about the Bella Twins. You cared about nobody but yourselves. Selfish. At Extreme Rules I was your partner and you let me down. Brie you lost the match for us. I did what I did to send you a message.* Nikki I know your Ankle is shattered and you're resting in a Hospital bed with your Sister Brie by your side. Listen closely Ladies. I am the Queen. I take a backseat to nobody. This spotlight is mine and mine alone. You let me down so I decided to end what friendship we had. Brie listen to me closely. Stay home. If you come back I will finish what I started on Sunday and shatter your Ankle like I did to your Sister's."*
Charlotte smirks and drops the Mic as she leaves to more Boos. Even CM Punk is Booing like crazy in the front row.*

Stephanie leaves as the Riott Squad cheer louder since Liv has herself a Title Match.*
Cut to SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley in her Locker Room.* She's watching Liv on the TV before Sasha Banks walks in.*
Sasha: "Hey Bayley wanted to make sure you're good. I know we had a hiccup tonight but that's ok."*
The two hug it out.*

Hunter is facing Cena for the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP.* Punk you get involved you're banned. But Kevin I wanted to come out here and talk to you. Have you considered choosing the Authority? Think about it we can take you to the top of the Mountain.* Universal Champion.* WWE Champion.* World Heavyweight Champion.* You can have it all Kevin. You think you had it all before but no when you're in the Authority you're getting everything you wanted. Look at Daniel Bryan.* He made the right choice when he realized he can't beat us. What do you say Kevin?"
Michaels extends his hand. Owens shrugs him off again and grabs a microphone.**
Owens: "You're kidding right? Joining the Authority is a joke. The fact you're out here trying to recruit me tells me you really don't have a clue what you're doing. Of course not. You're Triple Hs bitch and always has been. Your nose is so far up Hunters *** it's actually Brown. As far as your offer goes take it and stick it up your ***! And as far as Daniel Bryan goes he can be your sellout cause as far as I'm concerned the Authority sucks!"*
