Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider

We are live on tape from Fresno, California and your announcers are Jim ‘Jerry Tarkanian’ Ross and Todd ‘It looked like Bakersfield’ Grisham.

We begin with the World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk coming to the ring. The fans are not too happy with Punk being the champion. Punk says that everyone is talking about the big controversy coming out of The Bash and he says that he is sick and tired of it. Punk says that people are saying that he intentionally struck an official to retain his title. Punk says that he wants to show everyone what happened, step by step.

We go to highlights from Sunday. We see Punk falling victim to the Swanton but Punk had his leg under the rope. Punk says that the referee is human and he saw his mistake. Punk says the rules still mean something to him. Punk says that he was the one who was almost robbed because if the referee did not see it, he would have lost his title. Punk then shows us the eye injury that Punk suffered during the match. Punk says that it was as clear as day that he could not see and his vision was obstructed. He thought he was swinging at the referee and he accidentally hit the referee. Punk says that he is a man of honor and he does not take shortcuts in or out of the ring. Punk says that Hardy thought he was going to become the new champion, but nothing excuses Hardy’s behavior after the match. We see footage of Hardy attacking Punk.

Punk tells Hardy that he has no idea what type of person Punk is. He says that he has integrity and he will never take a short cut. What Punk did was an accident while what Hardy did was deliberate. Now Jeff is trying to get a rematch. Punk says that he wants an apology from Hardy.

Instead of an apology, Punk gets the fifty-third next best thing as Teddy Long comes to the ring. Teddy tells Punk that he wants to get to the point and he does not know if Punk took the cheap way out. Long says that it was a classic match so he is not going to let it end that way. Punk will face Hardy at Night of Champions in a rematch. Punk likes that, but he wants Hardy to apologize to him. Teddy says that Vince McMahon liked the way he shook things up. Long says that Vince wants controversy so the Unified Tag Champions will face Jeff Hardy and CM Punk.

Jeff Hardy finally decides to come out and the face paint is back on. Hardy gets in Punk’s face and he tells Punk that he does not want to hear his excuses any more. He says that Punk knew what he was doing when he kicked the referee. Hardy tells Punk that he can see right through him. Punk tells Hardy that he can shut up unless he is going to apologize. Hardy says that he will apologize for beating the holy hell out of him at Night of Champions. Hardy pushes Punk and Punk pushes back until Long separates them. Punk tells Hardy that they better be on the same page during their tag match tonight. Punk says that they are already at a disadvantage because of his eye. Punk reminds Hardy that he had to forfeit his match on Superstars, but he will not forfeit tonight. Punk tells Hardy that he knows that Jeff wants to punch him, but he tells Jeff to ‘just say no’.
