WrestleMania week wraps up with the first RAW after WrestleMania. On tonight’s card we have confirmed appearances from Paul Heyman, the new World Heavyweight Champion, Jey Uso and the new Undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.
Check back for live results when the show airs.
After seeing clips from WrestleMania, we see Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins arrive at the arena. Becky Lynch and Lyra Valkyria, The Judgement Day – minus Finn Balor, and Jey Uso are shown arriving as well.
At ringside, John Cena makes his way out. Cena gets in the ring and asks Mark Nash to join him in the ring. The ring announcer stands on the apron hesitantly before entering the ring. Cena hands him a piece of paper and Nash gets on the mic and says his announcing has been deemed disrespectful. He then announces John Cena again, but this time reading off the piece of paper and giving Cena a more decorated introduction. Cena gets on the mic and says winners write history, and tells Las Vegas that they’re not worthy and just because they’re cheering him now he’s supposed to forget all the disrespect? He says everyone owes him an apology and no one has the courage to do it. Cena calls the audience soft and the crowd chants “We are sorry” and Cena says everyone is a sorry lowlife. Cena says the best part is that the WWE Universe means nothing to him. He says for 25 years they’ve called him such terrible things so what makes Vegas think they’ll crack him – as this noise means nothing to him. Cena points out his 36 dates and he’s gone contract. He tells the crowd to think about how much time they’ve lost as time goes fast. He says 27 dates left and when it hits 0, the professional wrestling world stops. He says on that day, he will take the belt home with him because he’s the last undisputed champion in the WWE. He says the hard part is done, because they best chance of this being saved was Cody Rhodes but the fans boo’d and cheered him and that’s why he was destroyed on Sunday. Cena says there is no one with the strength, the speed, the wisdom or ruthless aggression of John Cena. But unlike everyone, he has a heart and he wants to do something nice for everyone. He holds up his belt and tells the audience to take a photo and poses – Randy Orton comes out of nowhere and RKO’s Cena. As Cena is laid out, Orton holds up the belt and then lays it on Cena and poses on the turnbuckles.
