02:30you
02:32Well, the demands of Mark Nash again.
02:45Ladies and gentlemen, he is the greatest of all time.
02:52The Never Seen 17, gracing Grand Rapids with his presence one final time.
03:07He is the last real champion, John Cena.
03:16Demanding the new bespoke ring introduction is the 17-time world champion.
03:28And since becoming the undisputed WWE champion in WrestleMania,
03:32ladies had three matches.
03:34The defense against Randy Orton at Backlash.
03:37The Saturday night's main event against this man, R-Truth.
03:41And, of course, the Money in the Bank tag team match
03:43where R-Truth played a major role as well.
03:47Well, R-Truth played a major role in all three of those matches.
03:50Now, let's not forget John Cena has a major title defense one week from tomorrow
03:55at Night of Champions.
03:57All the more reason why R-Truth needs to be put out of the picture tonight
04:02so John Cena can focus on Punk and Punk alone.
04:08R-Truth wasting no time.
04:11Just a double leg tackle and then the beatdown.
04:13And now right hands being delivered.
04:17Well, it was so easy for John Cena to beat R-Truth
04:20at Saturday night's main event, the naive version of R-Truth.
04:25But this is the yin to the yang of R-Truth.
04:29This tonight, a very different proposition.
04:33See, he hit him so hard, he's reaching for his right fist
04:35after that impact.
04:37He knows as well as either, he can shatter a fist on a punch.
04:41Just imagine what it will do to the cranium, the jaw, the eye socket,
04:46the nose of John Cena with that much wrath behind it.
04:50Oh, he put every ounce of it into that.
04:54This is a very different, determined, fiercely proud R-Truth.
05:00And Wade now, back to back, whipping him into the corner, is R-Truth.
05:15And this, you understand now what you're getting after you saw R-Truth earlier tonight
05:21as he was looking for Cena early on
05:25and taking anybody out who was in his path.
05:29Cena wasn't even in the building yet, and R-Truth wanted a brawl.
05:33Well, R-Truth has been so pent up, so ready to fight,
05:36and now attacking John Cena with his own moves.
05:40Saw this before.
05:42In Tampa, he went for it.
05:44And I don't know if John Cena has got a single shot in,
05:48and it could be over imminently.
05:51He's thinking five knuckles, shuffle is R-Truth.
05:57And Cena is smart to roll out.
05:59Unfortunately for R-Truth, John Cena did indeed see what was coming,
06:05and got the hell away as quickly as he could.
06:08Now, desperately trying to recover on the outside,
06:11while stalking him is R-Truth.
06:17And Cena drew him in and delivered the elbow.
06:21Well, that was always going to be the fear
06:23with a red-hot start like that from R-Truth.
06:26How long can you keep that going?
06:28That kind of pace.
06:30The years are not kind to any of us,
06:33and R-Truth has been around the block more than most.
06:35It's the undisputed WWE champion, John Cena,
06:45looks to take control now after a red-hot start by R-Truth.
06:51Still wincing in agony is John Cena,
06:54but the longer he stays in control like that,
06:58the more chance he gets to recover,
07:00and his chances of success here tonight increase exponentially.
07:05driving that knee right into the top of the back.
07:23And now Cena with a shoulder tackle of his own.
07:27The move that John Cena was tasting only moments ago.
07:36Now delivering to his potential victim, R-Truth.
07:41And the second.
07:42The side slams got him lined up.
08:03The never-seen 17 five-knuckle shuffle delivered by John Cena.
08:27And R-Truth's hopes fading by the second.
08:31Attitude adjustments lined up.
08:33Truth gets free.
08:34Oh!
08:35And Truth has beaten him down, Wade.
08:38Well, Stone Cold Steve Austin for you.
08:41Maybe Truth has got a new hero.
08:45Truth finding that reserve against Cena.
08:48And now Cena just comes over right to the side of our announce desk and grabs the championship.
08:56Never been about honor, has it?
08:58It's never been about...
08:58Where's he going?
08:59Glory for John Cena.
09:01It's been exclusively about ruining wrestling.
09:04And it looks like John Cena has ruined tonight's main event.
09:08In the middle of this.
09:12No, no, no, no.
09:13Truth says, you know what?
09:14Oh, Truth.
09:15That's not how this is going to go.
09:17Truth is here to give respect.
09:19Oh!
09:20And he hits him with the title.
09:21Damn it.
09:22Oh!
09:23What a piece of garbage.
09:27Well, it was a low blow the last time.
09:30Oh!
09:32He's got company.
09:34And it's the title challenger next week.
09:37A week and a day early.
09:43The second City Saint is here.
09:45The number one contender, but cut off at the pass.
09:50Before he can get any momentum at all.
09:54Night of Champions next Saturday.
09:57They're going to fight for the undisputed WWE Championship.
10:01Punk is back on his feet.
10:03Punk's on the attack.
10:07And he's got the championship in hand.
10:11Oh!
10:12Right back to it.
10:13How many times have we seen that recently with this version of Cena?
10:18All bets are off.
10:19This is the most desperate, soulless John Cena imaginable.
10:25I don't care how fired up you are, CM Punk.
10:31You cannot cope with that.
10:34Nobody can.
10:35Another low blow by Cena.
10:37And weaponizing the championship.
10:41Did you hear that crack?
10:43The connection of that championship on the skull of CM Punk.
10:49He was walking away with the championship when R-Truth engaged him.
11:05Championship was used as a weapon then.
11:07He low blowed Punk and hit him with the title as well.
11:12And now a table is in the middle of the ring.
11:14And then the tactics are obvious.
11:16Eight days before Night of Champions.
11:19Eight days before the defense of that championship.
11:23Stack the deck in your favor.
11:26John Cena has not fought fair since the Elimination Chamber.
11:32And that is not changing any time soon.
11:36He's got the title in hand again.
11:39As Punk is trying to steady himself.
11:41Oh!
11:41Right to that same side.
11:43Right to the temple.
11:45With the jewels and gold.
11:48And Punk is in real trouble.
11:51Attitude adjustment.
11:53Right through the table.
11:54Oh!
11:55What state is CM Punk even going to be in next week?
12:11Cena's grabbing the mic as Punk is laid out.
12:13Ha ha ha.
12:15Ha ha ha.
12:16Punk, as you lay there in your most uncomfortable.
12:40Somebody's afraid of what I'm going to say.
12:42As you lay there in your most uncomfortable.
12:49I hope you can listen.
12:52I hope you can digest.
12:56Because before I leave here.
12:58In six months with that WWE championship.
13:01I got to get a whole lot of stuff off my chest.
13:05First things first.
13:14I don't hate you.
13:16I don't even dislike you.
13:19I like you.
13:21I like you more than anyone you've ever shared a locker room with.
13:24That's for sure.
13:29I hate this idea of you.
13:31It was this idea that you're the best in the world.
13:35You're not.
13:37I'm the greatest of all time.
13:44You're better than me at one thing.
13:50You're the best bullshitter in the world.
13:52Oh no, kiddos.
13:59John Cena just dropped a curse word.
14:02That means the show is completely off the rails.
14:05Hey, Stu.
14:06Stu, shoot this.
14:08Hey.
14:08I'm breaking the fourth wall.
14:10Ha ha.
14:11The truth is, punk.
14:22I'm jealous of you.
14:27I am jealous that you have conned these people into believing the myth that you're the best in the world.
14:36Ah, they chant for you.
14:39Hell, when you come out, they sing to you.
14:54But they don't believe a goddamn word you say.
15:00Because you change your values as much as I change my t-shirts.
15:05You're just a loud mouth opportunist who will step on the necks of people who actually work hard if it gets you ahead.
15:17Where's another camera?
15:18Hey.
15:19Hey, Claudio Castagnoli.
15:23Hey, Nick Nemeth.
15:25Hey, Matt Cardona.
15:26How you guys doing?
15:27Oh, yeah.
15:31We're still on, baby.
15:33Ha ha.
15:37Look at this heat up.
15:39Look at this heat up.
15:42He's heating up.
15:44He's on fire.
15:46And there's nobody back there that's going to cut my mic to save your ass, because I'm your only friend.
15:57Remember who gave you the stage for your pipe bomb, pal?
16:01And what have you done with it since then, huh?
16:08You've just regurgitated the same five microphone moves of doom.
16:17You're promo potato salad, pal.
16:20Hey, you're no longer the voice of the voiceless.
16:26You're a freaking millionaire.
16:29Despite yourself.
16:32You're not punk.
16:33You're a capitalist.
16:36And you're not against TKO, dude.
16:39You are Mr. TKO.
16:45Because they knocked your balls technically off your body.
16:50Your tweets are strong.
16:55Your actions are weak.
16:59And in Saudi Arabia, you're going to face some loud, loud music.
17:05When I finally prove to the world that each and every day, day in, day out, no days off for 25 years,
17:14I have been the greatest of all time.
