Pre-Show Arrivals

WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria are in the building. They will defend their titles against former champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez in a WrestleMania rematch tonight. WWE Intercontinental Champion “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio arrived with the Judgment Day, minus Finn Bálor, who Mysterio pinned to win the title at WrestleMania. Finally, World Heavyweight Champion “Main Event” Jey Uso is shown arriving.
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena appears following his record-breaking 17th World Championship victory
Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena, who stands alone in wrestling history with the most World Championships at seventeen, surpassing “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair’s sixteen last night at WrestleMania 41, makes his entrance. The colorful logos in his entrance are gone. It is a black screen that simply displays the text, “John Cena.” Pyrotechnics go off as he holds the title up in the ring.
Cena points to the ring announcer, Mark Nash, and has him enter the ring. Cena hands him a sheet of paper. Nash offers his sincerest apologies because his announcement has been deemed disrespectful. Nash reads, “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Greatest of All-Time, the never-seen seventeen gracing Las Vegas with his presence for the final time, the last real champion, John Cena!” Cena holds up the title to a big mixed reaction.
A “Cena” chant fires up. The lights are down on the crowd. Cena holds up the title again and sneers at the crowd. Cena says, “Winners write history.” Cena says the crowd is not worthy. They think that on Friday, they can bully him. Then he steps into a ring with gold around his waist, and just because they cheer, he’s supposed to forgive them? That’s not how a functional relationship works. Cena asks if that’s how they’d treat their wife or kid. Just because you show up in a good mood, he can still tell them to go straight to hell. Every one of them owes him an apology, but they lack the courage to do so. The crowd starts to boo him. Cena says this has forever been the show where they hijack Monday Night Raw. They’re here for all of WrestleMania, and this ticket allows them to take control. Cena says the crowd has gone soft. A “We aren’t sorry” chant picks up. Cena has the lights turned on and says this is an arena full of lowlifes.
The best part is that the crowd doesn’t mean anything to him. An “asshole” chant picks up. Cena says he may be an “anus,” but they are a group of idiots. For 25 years, they’ve called him so much worse. He’s taken their best shot and still gotten up. What makes them think they’ll be the crowd to crack him right now? They mean nothing to them. Their noise means nothing to him. The only thing that means anything is this: “36 dates” appears on the screen. 36 dates, and he’s gone. Time passes so quickly. Cena lists the dates he’s already made: Netflix debut, Indianapolis, Toronto, London, Brussels, Glasgow, Las Vegas, Las Vegas, and Las Vegas. We’re down to 27 dates… not matches, but appearances. They say he can’t wrestle, but he doesn’t have to. He just has to show up and do this. When that hits zero, the professional wrestling timeline stops cold. Cena isn’t stupid like the people. There will be another Monday Night Raw, and they will decide another champion. However, the title held by Bruno Sammartino, Roman Reigns, the title taken from him in Chicago by CM Punk, the title held by Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin comes home with him. Cena says he is the last real Undisputed Champion of the WWE.
Getting this was the hard part. The rest is a cakewalk. Cena just has to play them like the puppets that they are. The best chance they had to save themselves was Cody Rhodes. The crowd starts to boo, and Cena calls them “heartless bastards.” They go back and forth, booing and cheering him. The man they put on their shoulders last year to finish the story now disgusts them. That’s what’s wrong with this. Last night, Cody Rhodes was outshined, outclassed, outwrestled, and flat-out destroyed. It’s time for the crowd to take a bold look in the mirror. The truth is, there is no one in the WWE with the strength, the speed, the wisdom, or the ruthless aggression of John Cena. Unlike the crowd, he has a heart. Cena wants to do something nice for them right now. Cena tells them to get their cameras because they’ll want to remember this moment. Cena tells them to make sure they get a great picture because the last real champ is here…
RANDY ORTON sneaks up behind Cena and hits him with an RKO! The crowd goes wild for Orton. A loud “Randy” chant picks up. Orton picks up the Undisputed WWE Championship, looks at it, smiles, and holds it up. The crowd loudly sings Orton’s theme, and he is fired up. Cena is down and out on the canvas.
