Trust me - he will be back. I promise you, at some point CM Punk will be back involved in wrestling.

We shall suffer much in this campaign; it will be very bloody, but I hope it will be the last.
Promises. I was drowning in promises.
I am sorry that they … are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me.
