Tommy Dreamer on the crowd reaction for CM Punk vs. John Cena: “The crowd enjoyed it. I enjoyed it…There were several times, I was just like ‘Wow, Punk’s gonna win in Saudi [Arabia],’ and they got me. They got me on the false finishes. They got me on the match. The fans helped make the match even bigger…because it’s a great crowd to perform in front of.”
