00:30Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.
02:29He is the greatest of all time.
02:45With his presence, one final time, the last real champion, John Cena.
04:48Do you think that actually accomplished anything?
04:52You are all spineless keyboard warriors.
05:02You are ignorant armchair activists, and you do not have any real power to change anything.
05:16Oh, you don't like that?
05:21Our truth is a gimmick that you will spit out, and a year from now, you will not care anything about.
05:35Our truth is you'll never use me to benefit one of your garbage pity parties ever again.
05:47This is my farewell tour, damn it.
05:50Do you hear me?
05:52I have limited time.
05:59I told you when we started.
06:0136 dates.
06:07And the last time we counted was the Raw after WrestleMania.
06:14down to 27.
06:17Since then, I've been to Fort Worth, Dayton, St. Louis, Tampa, Knoxville, Bakersfield, Los Angeles, and now Phoenix.
06:32This is almost over.
06:42We are halfway done.
06:44And if you want to accomplish something, don't waste your voice and send me the friggin' class clown.
06:51Use your voice and send me competition.
07:03Because the way I see it, everyone you have cheered for, from R-Truth to Cody Rhodes to Randy Orton.
07:13I have shut your mouth and beaten your best.
07:26What are you doing?
07:27I love you!
07:43Look in my eyes.
07:44What can you see?
07:49I've got the personality.
07:51I know your anger. I know your dreams. I feel everything you want to be. Oh, I love the personality. Love will sleep and care to be.
08:14Oh, I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality.
08:24I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality.

I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the personality. I love the
08:54Are you comfortable, John?
09:17John, I want you to be comfortable because I have a lot of things I want to get off my chest, and I am prepared to have this conversation with my fists, but one way or another, you will listen to everything I have to say right here, right now.
09:36It's ironic, isn't it? You strapped up the cowboy, the Boy Scout, saying you're going to ruin wrestling, saying you're going to ruin the establishment that made you who you are, and CM Punk, the iconoclast, the outcast, the redheaded stepchild,
10:03the punk rock kid from Chicago seemingly defending the establishment.
10:15Well, the more things change, the more things stay the same. I'm not defending the establishment. Let's make it real clear, John Boy. I'm not standing for TKO. I'm not here to defend the billionaires. I'm here to defend the people.
10:33Yeah. What are you so mad about, John? Huh? You mad because the establishment picked you, but the people never did? Huh? They picked me in 2011 to be the voice of the voiceless.
10:47You say you haven't had the best. You haven't faced the best competition, boy. You have. Cody's the best we got.
10:58And you beat them because you beat them because you take cheap shots and you take shortcuts.
11:05No, I'm not here to kiss my final boss's ass like you. I'm here to let you know that these people are my boss.
11:18It's my job to give them what they want. And if they want the truth, they're going to get Ron Killings.
11:39Now, we're all spokes on a wheel. I've said it very famously, and I've always known that.
11:50And it's time CM Punk taught John Cena that he's just a spoke on the wheel, too.
11:56And it starts by me taking that title off your shoulder.
12:08Yeah. Remember when me and you locked up at Elimination Chamber?
12:13First time in over 10 years, and I felt it. But I felt something a little bit different.
12:18And then you watched as Seth Rollins stomped me, and you didn't hesitate.
12:23And you pulled me back in the ring, and you put me in the STF.
12:27And the last thing I heard before I lost consciousness was you, almost in anguish, saying, I'm sorry.
12:36Yeah. You screamed, I'm sorry, because you knew then, and you damn sure now know that what you're doing is not right.
12:51Look around you, John. You know that what you're doing is wrong.
12:57When I take that title off you, you're going to spend the rest of your dates crisscrossing the country, apologizing to these people for the man you've become.
13:24That title, that title, that title has corrupted you.
13:35And I know because that same belt turned me into a monster in 2012.
13:40And when I came back here to WWE, I had a list of goals.
13:46And holding that belt wasn't one of them, because I'm afraid of the man I become when I have it.
13:54Now, that's the chip.
13:56Everybody in the back should want that.
13:58Everybody in the back should want to be heavyweight champion.
14:01Few can accomplish it.
14:04But I now see that I have to become a monster to stop the monster.
14:11To you, to guys like you, to Seth Rollins, that is the chip, that means power, and it means control.
14:23And to me, that is something that belongs to the people.
14:53By my count, after tonight, you've got 18 dates left.
15:14Of what little respect I had for you, I'll leave it up to you as to which one of those dates I take this off your shoulder.
15:24And if you're not a coward, if you're any type of a man, if you're more Boston Red Sox than you are New York Yankee,
15:33you'll say that date is tonight, right here, right now in Phoenix.
15:53John Cena, CM Punk, one final match.
16:07The best in the world against the greatest of all time for the undisputed WWE Championship.
16:22Let's do it!
16:27Not tonight.
16:37No.
16:38Match like this, you're going to follow me to Saudi Arabia.
16:52And we're going to do it at Night of Champions.
16:58Balls in your court, hero.
17:02You want a title match, it's going to be at Night of Champions.
17:08What do you say?
17:14Burn it down!
17:18Oh, CM Punk just said to John Cena, you're on.
17:22Let's see if our general manager makes it official.
17:24But meanwhile, this man is Mr. Money in the Bank.
17:40Burn it down!
17:45Burn it down!
17:46Burn it down!
17:48Burn it down!
17:50Burn it down!
17:51Burn it down!
17:52Burn it down!
17:54Just a little reminder by Seth Rollins that he can cash in any time, any place on a world champion.
18:12Ladies and gentlemen, here at Ringside Tonight, I'm Michael Cole.
18:15Pat McAfee is off this evening, but I'm joined by...
