After the match, Luke Gallows gets on the mic and he tells Show to pay attention. He rhetorically asks Show if he thought that was impressive.

CM Punk stops everything and then asks Luke how he got a mic because he does not speak until Punk tells him he can. Punk says hello to Show and he says that he knows that Show’s hand hurts. He knows that there is a tiny pea brain rattling around in his head so he cannot differentiate between the three ham and eggers who were in the ring and his sin free machine of self discipline that is going to crush him. Punk wants Show to picture what is going to happen at SummerSlam. Show is going to be in the pit, surrounded by an orchestra of virtue. His conductor for the evening will be himself. He tells Show that they will play his own personal opus. It will be a symphony that will sound a lot like Show’s bones being broken under the boot of the Straight Edge Society. It is a symphony that he has written just for Show and it is called ‘The Destruction of the Big Show’.

Before the Six-Man Tag Team Match, CM Punk laughed alongside the Straight Edge Society, reflecting on their vicious attack on Big Show one week ago. But, the tune of the Second City Saint quickly changed, as he began to admonish his disciples for being too pleased with their own success. Forcing them on their knees, Punk warned, “Satisfaction is the death of desire.”

Though officially part of the Six-Man Tag Team Match, CM Punk opted to let Luke Gallows and Joey Mercury handle the bulk of the battle. While each Superstar looked impressive in his own right, it was a devious kick from The Straight Edge Savior from outside the ropes that caught an unsuspecting MVP off guard, setting Gallows up to finish off The Franchise Playa’ with a devastating boot to the face.
