From there, Punk hit his patented finisher and won the match, looking very pleased as the fans booed him.

WINNER AND NEW HPW GRAND CHAMPION.... CODY RHODES!
But that has to have a big asterisk beside it, which, in his confusion, I think Cody understands as he can barely celebrate this victory. He will be looking for answers on the next show.
