Punk talked about how Punk was given the title just like everything else in life.  He said if Rock was a real man he'd come up the ramp and hand back the title to Punk, apologizing for disrespecting him.  Rock said if Punk had an ounce of manhood and nuts between his legs, he'd come down the ramp to the ring and take the title back.  Rock held out the belt but Punk didn't move.  Rock said Punk's got two choices, "face him like a man in the ring, or stand on stage like a punk-a--b---h."

Punk got angry and took of his jacket then went down towards the ring.  Punk stopped himself then said he's going to stand on stage "like a punk-a--b---h, because it's cool to swear, kids."  He said he doesn't act on Rock's terms, but his own.  Punk talked about all the upcoming live shows he's part of but said they probably won't fit into Rock's schedule, so he said he'll take his rematch at Elimination Chamber.  Rock accepted it and said the only thing Punk will take from him is an ass-kicking of a lifetime.  Rock finished off with his trademark "If ya smell, what the Rock, is cookin'".

Mr. McMahon had Paul Heyman in the ring for an evaluation.  McMahon asked Heyman a bunch of questions including if he ever had Brad Maddox or The Shield under contract.  Heyman said "No," but McMahon and the crowd weren't buying it.  He had the camera zoom in on Heyman's face and asked the crowd "Is this an honorable man?" and the crowd yelled "NO!"

Vince said he obtained some interesting video footage from several weeks ago.  He had it shown, and it revealed Maddox walking with Heyman down a dark hallway.  The camera shut off, but the audio was still on.  Heyman talked about how they picked Maddox from obscurity to help Punk secure the WWE title, but didn't expect him to keep coming back for more money.  He said when they pay the Shield, they pay them more, and they don't keep coming back for more money.  The video image returned, showing Shield next to Maddox.  He said he would leave, but Shield gave him a beatdown.

The crowd chanted "You Got Busted" at Heyman who was now pacing the ring.  Vince asked Heyman for a esponse.  The crowd chanted "Na na na na, good bye" at Heyman who tried to say the voice heard on the video wasn't him.  Heyman said someone must have been impersonating him, but McMahon still wasn't buying into the excuses.  He asked the crowd if Heyman should be fired and of course they were for it.  Mr. McMahon started to tell Heyman he was fired, but suddenly Brock Lesnar's music hit and out came Lesnar.

Lesnar got in the ring and stood next to Heyman, then patted him on the shoulder.  McMahon told Lesnar not to do anything he'll regret later on.  The crowd did a light "Triple H" chant in the background.  Lesnar instructed Heyman to back up, and Heyman tried to get Vince to leave the ring.  Lesnar started to pace around then suddenly scooped up Vince and hoisted him up, hitting the F5.  Lesnar left the ring as Raw ended with Vince layed out in the ring.
