46 is just a number, and so is number one. That’s exactly what I am and exactly what I have been saying since I got here in 2005. Yeah, maybe I took a ten-year vacation, but I’m back and better than ever. Nobody is touching me. BITW. Best in the World, that’s what it means. Straight Edge, it means I’m better than you. I’m coming for all the gold in 2025. Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania. Netflix, biggest thing I’ve ever done in my entire life.
Punk dedicates victory to friends facing personal battles

This match is for Chad Gilbert. This match is for Chris Bey. This match is for me and anybody who ever said that I wasn’t shit. Look at me now.
Punk then set his sights on future championship opportunities:
46 is just a number. One through 30, just numbers. Royal Rumble, you’re next on the list. Gunther, I’m coming for you. Cody, I’m coming for you. I’m Mr. October. I’m Game 7. I am clutch. I am the best in the world.
