Hot off the Royal Rumble CM Punk demanded his WWE title back, blaming The Shield, the fans and The Rock for his loss. Unfortunately he’ll have to settle for another chance at the Elimination Chamber. Tonight was not about gold, it was about the conduct of Paul Heyman. To the world and perhaps CM Punk’s surprise Heyman had been secretly working with the Shield and Brad Maddox all along, but before the Chairman could fire the proverbial Walrus, Brock Lesnar made his return!!!

Quick Results:
