Toward the conclusive moments of the match, fans would see Samoa Joe come out, and drag CM Punk from the ringside to near the barricades. He would then choke Punk Out. With the FTR distracted, The House of Black would strike, and Brody King would pin Dax Harwood to secure the victory.

With a classic feud that spans around 19 years, Joe would demand his title shot from Punk with a vicious attack. However, despite their heel and babyface nature, fans would turn on Punk, and start showing their support for Samoa Joe.

Both Joe and Punk are exceptionally good wrestlers, and fans cannot wait to see their feud take place.
