However, that chaos was tame compared to the atmosphere when Living Colour hit and the main titleholder CM Punk returned to the ring and cleared the way, eventually setting a clash between him and Mox, possibly for the All Out pay-per-view. Prior to the appearance, Punk was out with a foot injury that sidelined him for over two months.
