Winner – The Miz
Jerry Lawler is in the ring for the contract signing between Chris Jericho and CM Punk's representative Paul Heyman, then both men come out and King says they just have to sign it. Heyman takes the contract and says they could have just signed this privately, but he'll feed Jericho's ego and tell him this to his face. He starts to talk about Punk's accomplishments but Jericho cuts him off and says he doesn't give a damn, because all he cares about is Punk showing up at Payback. Heyman smirks and signs the contract, then he slides it to Jericho and tells him he has a question for him. Heyman asks if he's really ready to face his client in Chicago, because they might cheer him tonight, but Chicago is a biased and they will be behind Punk no matter what. Heyman says Jericho might be the best at what he does, but Punk is the best at making liars out of people who don't think he's the best in the world.
Heyman smiles as Jericho says he might be right, so Jericho says maybe they should have the match at Summerslam in Los Angeles, or Madison Square Garden in New York. Heyman says no, so Jericho says they should do it here it Hartford, but Heyman says no and throws the mic on the table. Jericho says he guesses they will fight in Chicago, but it doesn't matter where you are from because you get treated like a jackass if you are one. Jericho says they need to file the contract now and he has a good idea where to put it, then he tells Heyman to get out of his chair and stand up. He tells Heyman to unbutton his jacket before he rips it off, then he rolls up the contract and puts it in Heyman's waistband before leaving.
