On Punk’s emotional reaction: “You really think the welling up [of] tears in his eyes is because CM Punk is some great actor? Him and Paul Heyman are very close, alright? … Whether it was discussed beforehand or not, [he had] Paul on his knees right next to him, saying basically, ‘You did it. You did it your way.'”

On Punk achieving his dream: “Those are real tears. Those are his validation tears, meaning, ‘Holy s**t. I know this is predetermined sports entertainment, we’re out here to do our thing, but yeah. I’m in the main event of WrestleMania.'”
