"Does straight edge mean you have to look like you haven't taken a shower in two weeks?"

Christian: "How fitting is it that we're here in Louisville, Kentucky? Cause right now we're heading down the home stretch, this is the final week of qualifying for the ECW Homecoming. With Superstars from ECW past taking on Superstars from ECW present, with the winner of Homecoming facing me for the ECW Championship at the Royal Rumble. And with that being said--" [CM Punks Musik ertönt und er samt Luke Gallows erscheinen auf der Entrance Stage]

CM Punk: "While I'm positive whatever it is you had to say was extremely important, nothing, anybody in this building, including yourself, can say anything of any more importance than what I have to say right now. [Christian grinst] You know, this whole ECW Homec--Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Exactly what's so funny already? I haven't even said anything yet. And you sit there with a big grin on your face. What do you find so funny, Christian?"

Christian: "Well, last night, like millions of the WWE Universe, I saw something that I thought I'd never see. When Shawn Michaels hugged it out in the middle of this ring on RAW with Bret 'The Hitman' Hart. Yeah, it was a great moment. And at the opposite end of the spectrum, right now, I'm seeing something that I never wanted to see. CM Punk back on ECW."

CM Punk: "Well, CM Punk back on ECW is something that you better get used to. Cause that title that you covet, that title that you have on your shoulder right now is exactly the reason I'm here. This Homecoming is all about former ECW Stars coming back for a chance at that exact title. And I intend to beat you for that title at the Royal Rumble after I win tonight and after I go on next week to win the ECW Homecoming. Ladies and Gentlemen, get used to it, the ECW Championship is just the first of many titles I intend to collect. To prove to you all that Straight Edge means I'm better than you.

I am a savior. I am your savior. I am a Natural Born Leader. And Christian, you can make all the wise-cracks you want. After I beat you, this is exactly what I'll be. Because ECW is home to the youngest, brightest, newest stars WWE has to offer. And I will be their shepherd. I will give them a leader they can believe in. I will give them a role model they can look up to. I will show them the right way to live. I will show them the Straight Edge way."

Christian: "The Straight Edge way? Does the Straight Edge way mean that you also have to look like you haven't taken a shower in two weeks? Look, Punk, I think you're getting a little ahead of yourself here. Considering the Superstars that have already qualified for the Homecoming, guys like Kane, like Matt Hardy, like my boy Yoshi Tatsu--I mean, coming up next Shelton Benjamin is taking on Chavo Guerrero. One of them is gonna qualify. And who was it that you'll be facing tonight? Who was that again?"

CM Punk: "Mark Henry."

Christian: "So you've showed up tonight, you've run your mouth and you're gonna get squashed by the World's Strongest Man. So, just for my own peace of mind and for all my peeps right here in Louisville, Kentucky, let me recap: You won't smoke. You won't drink. You won't do drugs. And, Punk, you won't be facing me for the ECW Championship at the Royal Rumble."
