Jon Robinson: SummerSlam is this Sunday. What do you think of the CM Punk storyline? Does he speak for a lot of the boys in the back when he’s on the mic talking about his frustrations with the business?

Daniel Bryan: The thing with CM Punk is he just speaks his mind and he doesn’t care if anybody in the back agrees with him. He just goes out there and says what he wants to say. And if this match is anything like his Money in the Bank match, the fans are really going to get their money’s worth. SummerSlam is just going to be awesome this year.

IGN: What’s your take on the new CM Punk storyline and how many times ROH has now been mentioned on WWE TV?

Bryan: I think it’s cool. It’s neat to hear Ring of Honor referenced. Colt Cabana referenced. People who are my friends and companies that I’ve worked for. I also think it’s really cool the way that they’ve built this story up. I mean, I’m really excited for SummerSlam because of the CM Punk vs. John Cena. A Champion vs. Champion match. Nobody knows what’s going to happen. And it’s made for such captivating television and it’s going to be a great Main Event.

Not one to be deterred by stiff odds, Kingston fought onward against SmackDown’s CM Punk, pinning The Straightedge Superstar after a hard-fought series of near-falls for both competitors. As soon as Punk was vanquished however, Orton was ready to spring into action. Though The Viper might have boasted more in-ring experience than Kingston, the athletic young Superstar showed that he has just what it takes to compete on WWE’s highest level. Leaping into the air and immediately connecting with Trouble in Paradise, the rising star defeated Orton to win the match for his team, pinning two former World Champions in the span of six seconds.
