Earlier in the night, Starks bragged about winning the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in controversial fashion as he grabbed the ropes to defeat CM Punk the previous week. Punk confronted Starks, saying that he wasn’t angry about the circumstances of his loss; in fact, he was proud of Starks for resorting to drastic measures.
