CM Punk comes out and says he wants to break the silence surrounding him, and he says Straight Edge is a personal choice and it's not to be cool. He says sometimes it made him uncool, but he chose a way of life and he keeps quiet about his life because it's no one's business. Punk says he doesn't want anyone feeling sorry for him, and he made it to the top of the WWE by being the best wrestler in the world. Punk says Jericho came along and destroyed his privacy, and he made up lies and called him a bastard. He says Jericho's plan failed at Wrestlemania because he made Jericho tap out, so he had to take it that one step too far. Punk says he wasn't worried about competing again, but all he could think about was that the whiskey made him smell exactly like his father did.
Jericho cuts him off by appearing on the Titantron and says he doesn't look right, then he asks him if he is still hungover. He says Punk looks like his father and the fans might be seeing Punk on his first bender, and Punk needs to take the twelve steps. Jericho says everyone sees it, because they don't see a champion or the best wrestler, they just see a loser. He says he broke Punk's vow of sobriety and he made him understand what it is like to finally be called 'CM Drunk'. Punk says Jericho didn't break him, and he screwed up by failing so Punk will take all of his anger out on him by using all of his bad memories. He tells Jericho this is no longer about being the best in the world, because this is just about kicking his ass now.

He attempts to jump off the apron and hit Henry again, but Jericho comes out with some cases of beer and Henry uses this distraction to attack Punk. Henry rolls Punk in the ring and hits two World's Strongest Slams, then Jericho takes the beer and attempts to pour it on him. Punk hits him a few times but Jericho drops him with a Codebreaker, then he pours a bunch of beer on Punk and tells him to drink it in.
