Rey Mysterio comes to the ring and he addresses the people of Laredo. He says last week when he was choke slammed by Kane into the Gulf of Mexico, he went down about ten or fifteen feet under water. He had the wind knocked out of him and his lungs filled with fluid. He tried to catch his breath but he couldn’t and he freaked out. Rey says that he saw his life flash before his eyes for the first time. As he struggled to the surface, he saw the face of his accuser. Kane was standing there, looking at him and then he walked away.

Rey says that he has been through a lot in his career. He has been beaten and backstabbed, but he has never been accused of something he didn’t do. He cannot believe that Kane accused him last week of taking out the Undertaker. Rey says that he has always been serious with the fans. He says that he did not have anything to do with attacking the Undertaker. Rey says that in his opinion, Kane has always been delusional. Now Kane is threatening to put him in a casket after his match at SummerSlam. Rey says that he doesn’t like caskets because they freak him out. They are a symbol of loss and heartbreak. They are a symbol for the dead. Rey says that when he meets his maker, Kane will not be the one who will judge him. That person is God. Rey says that he knows who attacked the Undertaker and he will tell everyone . . .

Before Rey can reveal the name of the attacker, Drew McIntyre comes to the ring. Drew tells Rey that we have names for people like Rey where he comes from. Those who wear masks, those who lurk in the shadows trying to gain the trust of the masses. Drew says that those people are called criminals. Drew tells Rey that he has pulled the wool over the people’s eyes for decades now. Drew tells everyone that Rey has pulled the wool over Rey’s eyes. Now, at the expense of the Undertaker, the truth has finally come out. Drew asks Rey ‘how could you’. Rey wants to know what Drew is talking about. Drew says that Rey is supposed to be a hero for everyone.

Drew asks how Rey if a hero would stand there and do nothing while CM Punk was falsely accused and had his arm injured. Rey says that wasn’t his business. Drew asks Rey if a hero would stand idly by while Jack Swagger was falsely accused and then do nothing while Jack watched his sixty-four year old father being hospitalized before his own eyes. Rey says that wasn’t his business. Drew says that it is okay. Drew says that he admires what Rey did. Drew says that he wishes he had taken out the Undertaker himself. There is a difference between him and Rey. Drew says that if he was the perpetrator, he would have done it by himself. Drew says that by looking at Rey, he needed help. Drew says that he doesn’t believe that someone like Rey is capable of taking out someone like the Undertaker, but he is.

Drew says that he can take out anyone he chooses. Drew asks Rey if he saw what he did to Christian’s arm last week. Drew says that the doctors say that Christian will never be the same again. After that match, he says that he had an idea. Drew says that his idea was to do the same thing to Rey in his own back garden. Drew says that he has spoken to Teddy Long and if Rey agrees, he will make it official. Drew wants Rey to fight him. Drew says that he wants to know what kind of man Rey is. He wants to see the same aggression in Rey that he used to take out the Undertaker. Drew dares Rey and Rey starts to speak in Spanish. He tells Drew to calm down and then he says that Drew has a lot of nerve to come out and disrespect him in front of his raza. Rey asks Drew if he wants to see some aggression tonight. Drew dares him again and Rey tells Drew that they have a match. Rey throws the mic at Drew and leaves the ring.

Punk says that he has accomplished a great many things in his life. He has accomplished things that the fans could not attain like sobriety. He talks about being the only three time Straight Edge World Champion. He talks about competing in and winning back to back Money in the Bank matches at Wrestlemania while everyone else can only purchase tickets to the show. Punk says that he has never been more proud than last week when the Straight Edge Society formed such a cohesive unit and toppled the giant of the WWE Universe. Right now, he would love nothing more than watch the footage. He asks to see the footage again.

Punk comments on the footage and then he asks for the footage to be paused. Punk says that they are looking at the breaking of Big Show’s dorsal side of his wrist. Punk says that because of him, Show has two severed tendons in his hand so he doesn’t know if Show is going to make it to SummerSlam. He says that it is 50/50 if Show will ever sign an autograph again. It is because of what they did. We go to more footage. Joseph wants the footage paused to see the look on Show’s face. Punk asks Joseph if he is happy. He asks if Luke and Serena are happy. Punk looks at them and then tells them that it is funny because he didn’t tell any of them that they could be happy.

He tells all of them to get on their knees. Punk says that he meant what he said. It stands forever. Their happiness is a sign of weakness. When they are happy, they let Punk down. When they let him down, they slip. If they show weakness for one second, it means that they are falling off the wagon and they could be like anyone in the crowd. He says that he will not tolerate their weakness or their slipping. If they fall of the wagon, they will pack their bags. He tells Serena that it might as well be filled with alcohol. Punk tells them to stand up. He tells them that they will be better than everybody. He says that they will be happy when he says they are happy. Punk tells them that satisfaction is the death of desire.
