The Usos Handle Family Business, Demand Apology From CM Punk
It’s main event (segment) time!
When the show returns from a break after the Femi-Rusev match, we head back down to ringside where the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk is inside the squared circle with a microphone in his hand, as he prepares to close out this week’s show.
Punk says he wasn’t sure if Seattle would embrace him and he shouldn’t have been worried. Punk says people are upset about the things he said to Roman Reigns last week. Punks says Reigns doesn’t respect him so he doesn’t know why people are saying what he said was disrespectful towards Reigns.
Punk says he will force Reigns to respect the position he holds and he’s on the top and he’s the best. Punk says the title he has was created because Reigns refused to defend his title when he had it. Punk says he levels up the title and competition and that’s why he’s a fighting champion.
Punk talks about how he left Reigns stunned in the ring last week and that’s what he does if people aren’t prepared. He says he did something bad though and went down to Reigns’ level. Jimmy and Jey Uso come out and interrupt Punk.

Jimmy says he has so much respect for Punk and everything Punk stands for. Jimmy says he can disrespect Reigns all he wants but he can’t disrespect their late uncle so apologize. Punk says Jimmy is right. Punk is the voice of the voiceless and their late uncle has no voice.
Punk says he hopes Sika is listening, because Punk is friends with The Usos and their connection goes back for a long time. Punk talks about how much The Samoans taught him and did for him. Punk says he respects everyone in The Usos’ family, and they all are respectful to him except Roman Reigns.
Punk says Sika sees what a terrible person Roman Reigns. Jey says Punk doesn’t get it, this isn’t about Reigns and he needs Punk to say “I’m sorry.” Punk shakes both Jimmy and Jey’s hands and says, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry for how Reigns has treated his family.”
He says he’s sorry that Reigns disrespects everyone and is never on the hook for it and he’s sorry that Reigns has tricked everyone in thinking he cared about anyone or any of this. He follows that up by saying that if “The OTC” Roman Reigns did care it would show.
He would be here and Punk wouldn’t be talking to his young boys and shoves the mic into Jey. Jey pushes Punk and Punk goes for Jey. Jimmy comes in and punches Punk’s lights out. Punk is down and out, with The Usos standing tall. The duo exit the ring as Punk recovers. Punk is enraged as the show goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
