The bell tolls and The Undertaker comes out to the ring. He goes down to one knee and pays his respects to Paul Bearer, standing beside him is the urn that used to accompany him to the ring. CM Punk then interrupts and says he just wanted to extend his heartfelt condolensces and his apologies for Undertaker’s loss at Wrestlemania. The silver lining in this cloud is, to Paul Bearer and everyone around the world Undertaker will be perfect 20-0 but in 4 weeks, Undertaker will be 20-1 and the night after there will be a new tribute video being played and years from now the question people will be asklng is where were you when CM Punk beat The Streak.
