CM Punk vs. JBL

Big "|CM Punk" chants. JBL goes on offence early with a knee to the gut and clubbing blows! He works a side headlock and gets a shoulder tackle but misses an elbow drop. Kicks to the thighs and back by Punk, dropkick to the back of the head gets a near fall. They slug it out and JBL hits a big boot to the jaw. King says he sources have informed him of an injury to John Cena that we will hear more about later tonight. Punk battles back and hits a mule kick to the jaw for 2. Forearms in the corner now by Punk, followed up by a dropkick. Cover gets 2. JBL fights out of a side headlock, but misses a big boot and gets caught with an arm drag. JBL fights back but misses a clothesline. Roundhouse kick by Punk! A dropkick sends JBL to the floor, so Punk hits a SUICIDE DIVE! Back in, Punk up top, crossbody gets 2. Kicks to thighs again, Punk gets tossed but skins the cat, only to get caught with a big boot to send him to the floor. We go to a commercial.
