CM Punk opens the event in a rather serious way. He begins by recalling that when asked about how much wrestling he has left in his bones, he answers that he still has a lot, to the joy and disappointment of many people. He recalls that when he made his return to WWE, he said that he didn’t come to make friends, but he didn’t think about making mortal enemies either; and that’s what happens with Drew McIntyre , as their rivalry will culminate in a Hell In A Cell Match .

The Chicago native reveals that his family asked him not to compete in Hell in a Cell, but assures that the Scot will have to stop him from having vital signs if he wants to leave the structure alive. “The Devil in my heart tells me to do it, the same heart that Drew promised he would stop. Drew, I’m going to make you bleed. I’ll see you in hell ,” he said.
