Instead, he sat on the rocking chair on the stage. The Players got a good reaction but the Wyatt Family actually got a great reaction. The Wyatt Family got the pinfall after Luke Harper hit his vicious looking clothesline. Good back and forth match. The crowd loved it.

Paul Heyman cut a promo about how we get to witness history as he teams with Curtis Axel. He announced it would be No DQ match and heeled it up on Philly.

7. C.M. Punk defeated Curtis Axel and Paul Heyman in a No DQ handicap match. The place went nuts for Punk! Punk cut a promo about what happened at MITB. A great match that ended with Punk hitting Heyman with the kendo stick and then hitting Axel with the GTS and getting the pinfall. The crowd popped huge. Punk went around ringside and high-fived the fans to send them home happy.

Notes: I had a fun time. I spent $35 per ticket but it was a birthday gift for my girlfriend and she was happy. I would definitely go to another house show.
