After the match, Punk grabbed the mic and gave the following speech.

"Yeet! That was for my boy Uso back there. This was for all of you. I'll be honest, there's a little bit, a little part of me, that came here for me, but you guys are the high tide that raises all ships. You have carried me throughout my career to my greatest moments. This is one of them. I want you to look to your left, look to your right, look behind you, say hello to your nieghbors. Shake hands. We are all in this together. When I wake up in the morning and someone asks me how my day is, I say, 'Hey, I woke up this morning.' Everything else after that, I'm forunate for. Every day I'm in the ring in front of all of you, I'm fortunate for. I came back here to finish what I started. It starts tonight in the World's Most Famous Arena in front of you, the greatest fans on earth. I know I have stiff competition, but I'm here to finish what I started. When I win the Royal Rumble and go on to main event WrestleMania, ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to let you know that isn't me finishing my story. That's just me getting started," he said.
