00:00CM Punk, the bracelet is back home, if you will.
00:05How does it feel to have that back around your wrist and away from Drew McIntyre?
00:10It feels good.
00:11I think a big deal has been made out of this, but it was really about the disrespect to
00:16my dog and my wife.
00:18I plan on going home and giving my dog and my wife a big hug and a kiss, maybe not in
00:22that order, but probably in that order, and move on to bigger and better things.
00:27Was there a message of any kind from your wife before you got on the plane to come over
00:31here and try to get this thing back?
00:33I imagine she's as pissed as you are, or were.
00:38Yeah.
00:39She told me anytime it involves Larry, she told me to make sure you heard him.
00:47Just like in the past, when anybody messes with my dog, I heard him, and I think I heard
00:50Drew and I can hopefully move on.
00:52I got gold on my mind.
00:54Yeah, you told me earlier today you wanted to leave him bloody and broken, and I think
00:57you probably accomplished both of those things, but this is also a pretty monumental moment
01:04in victory for you just since coming back to WWE.
01:07Has that really sunk in for you yet, and how much does it mean to you?
01:13It means a lot to me.
01:16I look at the miles ahead, not the miles behind.
01:18I still got a lot of work to do, but coming back eight months ago, getting put on the
01:24shelf for six of those months, and finally coming back and feeling 100%, getting my confidence
01:29back and getting a W is going to go a long way.
01:32I'm excited for Monday Night Raw in Denver, and I'm excited for the future.
01:38Coming here to Germany and wrestling in front of the people in Berlin is a dream come true
01:43that I never thought I would experience again, so it's been a fun trip.
01:47You're loved in a lot of places, but you received a very, very warm welcome here in
01:52Berlin, and it started on the Countdown show.
01:53They were chanting your name throughout, even when we weren't talking about you.
01:57Does that ever get old, or does it always feel special every time?
02:02It feels special every time, and it feels more special today because I think I'm just
02:08a hell of a lot more grateful for it.
02:10I certainly don't take it for granted anymore.
02:12All right, last one.
02:14Does anything in WWE hurt more than that strap, because wow.
02:20It's like getting hit with a bullwhip, but we talked about me leaving Drew bloody and
02:27broken.
02:28I feel a little bloody and broken right now, too, so that's the price we pay, but that
02:32crowd makes you just forget about all the pains and the aches and just run on pure adrenaline.
02:37It's great.
02:38Well, listen, congratulations.
02:39Enjoy getting home and getting some rest and recovering from some of these wounds, if you
02:44will.
02:45Thanks for this.
