CM Punk was addressing the crowd and had a little self-doubt before his return to the ring at All Out. As the crowd chanted "You Still Got It," 2point0 and Daniel Garcia ambushed the Voice of the Voiceless and beat him down.
Sting and Darby Allin showed up to even the numbers game as all three men dropped their opponents with their signature moves. CM Punk hit the Go to Sleep for the first time in many, many years.
After the save, Sting took the mic and told CM Punk how he had been wanting to share a ring with him. CM Punk and Darby Allin stared each other down to close out the segment.
