Heyman says this is larger than life for a larger than life personality, and the greatest WWE Champion of all time. Heyman says putting together Team Punk, was a pleasure to serve the WWE Champion. The first person he named is a reality show star, a headliner and WM main eventer. The Miz. The next pick, the future tag team champions, the Rhodes Scholars. And next, someone that could almost be a co-captain, Alberto Del Ro. Punk tells the crowd to shut up, because at Survivor Series, it will be a celebration of him being champion for one year. He will put Foley out of his misery. If Foley wants the spotlight, well he can’t because it is Punk’s time.
Mick Foley now makes his entrance and heads to the ring. Foley says if Punk wants to talk about survival, well he says Punk is a weasel for the way he won at Hell in a Cell.

Punk says to announce his team or they will beat him down right now. Foley says he has a hell of a team. He would walk through the gates of hell with them. The first is Kofi Kingston.
