CM Punk: I deserve the shot at the title Mike. I didn't even get a chance to defend my title at No Mercy. I deserve a chance to defend my title.

Mike Adamle: Welcome back fans and heres my decision. Were going to have a two part tournament for the right to be the number one contender. This week (September 22) and next week (September 29) we will have all you stars fight off for the right to face Y2J at No Mercy.
