Traci stands there refusing to move. "Damit Colt, Ace move her!" Punk ordered. Ace was the first to try but Traci kicked him below the belt. Colt than tried only to get the same fate.
Punk steps down. "I'm only this because I don't hit woman much less pregnant woman," Punk says as he walks away. Traci gets in the ring to check on Jake who is lying in the turnbuckle. She doesn't see Punk come back with a pair of handcuff that he uses to secure her to the top rope. Punk finally gives Jake the Pepsi Plunge though the table. Traci actually closes her eyes she can't watch it happen but she hears every sound from the table breaking to the sick thud Jake's body makes when it hits the ground.
Punk has a microphone again. "Reed you worst nightmare is coming true because I just signed it a few days ago. A brand new TNA contract. Your time it up," Punk says before he leaves. He shocks everyone by tossing Traci the key to the cuffs before he is gone for good. Traci gets down to check on Jake the EMT's show up. Security ushers the fans out because Jake isn't moving.
