*CM Punk comes out with Festus and a brown paper bag. Punk introduces Drew Gallows (that name may not be 100% correct but that’s what it sounded like), formerly Festus. Punk said his friends gave him pills in the past and that’s why Festus was in the state he was in, but that’s in the past. Punk said that what he has inside the bag comes out 12/1 and he’s scared that it will be available to the public. Punk pulls the Jeff Hardy DVD. Out comes Matt Hardy, who defends his brother. This leads to…
