WWE SummerSlam Results (8/19/12) – Sheamus & CM Punk Retain; Brock Lesnar Makes Triple H Tap Out

Eve and Teddy Long are shown exiting AJ’s office. Teddy talks about what a great job AJ is doing and what good things the superstars are saying. Eve sarcastically agrees. Punk is shown standing to the side and he rolls his eyes before heading into AJ’s office. Punk says putting a champion in a match where he can lose his title without being pinned is unfair, and Punk thinks it’s because he refused her marriage proposal. AJ stares off into space and doesn’t answer. Punk says she has disrespected him just like the public, but tonight he’ll successfully defend his title and show he’s the best in the world, and tomorrow night she and everyone else will be forced to show him respect. Punk walks off and AJ continues to stare off into space.
