CM Punk’s music hits and the fans rise to their feet. Punk enters the ring with a microphone. He has spent the week puzzling over why he was attacked by The Shield last week. Punk fears that it is because of a criticism that he directed towards Triple H. Punk hopes that he is wrong about this assumption. He can only hope that Triple H is not so stupid as to stir the hornets’ nest of the biggest anti-authority man in the company.

Stephanie McMahon walks out onto the entrance ramp. She hopes that everyone had a great Thanksgiving. She tells CM Punk that it is beneath her family to come after someone just because Triple H was called a bad name. She understands that it is easier for Punk to come after Triple H than a three man team like The Shield. Stephanie says neither she nor her husband had anything to do with the attack last week. Punk is not so easily convinced. Stephanie brings out Kane to handle the situation.

Kane gets straight down to business with his suit and tie. He reveals that after an investigation The Authority has been absolved of any wrong doing in regards to the attack. Kane asks if Punk has any questions. Punk asks Kane as to when he became the Big Red Ass-Kisser. Kane tells Punk that he should be more polite. Punk tells Kane not to patronize him.

The Shield’s music hits. They make their way down and surround the ring. Stephanie calls out for them to stop before they hit the ring. Stephanie says that Punk is to be respected and admired. Kane sees Stephanie’s point so he announces a match. At Tables, Ladders & Chairs Punk will have to take on The Shield in a 3-on-1 handicap match.
