00:00I'm going at it next week for the championship.
00:02I'm not a champion, it's just got even bigger.
00:05I want to see some dog walking.
00:09The following contest is scheduled for one call.
00:14Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:19weighing in at 220 pounds,
00:24R-Truth!
00:26R-Truth has been anxiously waiting for this moment.
00:31The rematch against John Cena, next.
00:36I was back on April 25th when R-Truth congratulated Cena
00:40winning his 17th world title.
00:42Cena said nothing in return.
00:44And that was just a week ago
00:45when Ron Killings jumped Cena twice on SmackDown.
00:51What a path it's been between these two.
00:56We'll be T- equals to cá.
01:02I'm Cashin' at 5!
01:04I'm Cashin' at 5!
01:07I'm Cashin' at 5!
01:10I'm Cashin' at 5!
01:12The time is getting to by now,
01:15but you can't even see my.
01:17It's a friend of yours on stage,
01:20but you can't be she won!
01:22His opponent, from West Newbury, Massachusetts, playing in at 251 pounds.
01:38He is the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
01:52He is the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena!
02:22Now, the demands of Mark Nash again.
02:42Ladies and gentlemen, he is the greatest of all time!
02:51The Never Seen 17, gracing Grand Rapids with his presence one final time!
03:05He is the last real champion, John Cena!
03:15Yeah!
03:19Demanding the new bespoke ring introduction is the 17-time world champion.
03:27And since becoming the undisputed WWE Champion at WrestleMania, ladies had three matches.
03:32The defense against Randy Orton at Backlash, the Saturday night's main event against this man, R-Truth, and of course the Money in the Bank tag team match where R-Truth played a major role as well.
03:46Well, R-Truth played a major role in all three of those matches.
03:49Now, let's not forget John Cena has a major title defense one week from tomorrow at Night of Champions.
03:56All the more reason why R-Truth needs to be put out of the picture tonight so John Cena can focus on Punk and Punk alone!
04:05Well, it was so easy for John Cena to beat R-Truth at Saturday night's main event, the naive version of R-Truth, but this is the yin to the yang of R-Truth.
04:27R-Truth, this tonight, a very different proposition!
04:32See, you hit him so hard, he's reaching for his right fist after that impact.
04:36You know, as well as Ivy, you can shatter a fist on a punch.
04:40Just imagine what it will do to the cranium, the jaw, the eye socket, the nose of John Cena with that much wrath behind it!
04:49Oh, he put every ounce of it into that!
04:53This is a very different, determined, fiercely proud R-Truth!
05:07And Wade now, back-to-back, whipping him into the corner, is R-Truth.
05:13And this, you understand now, what you're getting after you saw R-Truth earlier tonight, as he was looking for Cena early on, and taking anybody out who was in his path.
05:28Cena wasn't even in the building yet, and R-Truth wanted a brawl.
05:32Well, R-Truth has been so pent up, so ready to fight, and now attacking John Cena with his own moves!
05:39Saw this before, in Tampa, he went for it!
05:43And I don't know if John Cena has got a single shot in, and it could be over, eminently!
05:50He's thinking five-knuckles, shuffle is R-Truth!
05:56And Cena is smart to roll out.
05:58Unfortunately for R-Truth, John Cena did indeed see what was coming, and got the hell away as quickly as he could.
06:07But now, desperately trying to recover on the outside, while stalking him, is R-Truth.
06:16And Cena threw him in, and delivered the elbow.
06:20Well, that was always gonna be the fear, with a red-hot start like that, from R-Truth.
06:25How long can you keep that going?
06:27That kind of pace.
06:29The years are not kind to any of us, and R-Truth has been around the block more than most.
06:34As the undisputed WWE champion, John Cena, looks to take control now, after a red-hot start by R-Truth.
06:50Still wincing in agony is John Cena, but the longer he stays in control like that, the more chance he gets to recover.
06:58And his chances of success here tonight, increase exponentially.
07:04Driving that knee right into the top of the pack.
07:10And now Cena, with a shoulder tackle of his own.
07:26The move that John Cena was tasting only moments ago, now delivering to his potential victim, R-Truth.
07:40And the second.
07:41The side slams, got him lined up.
08:02The never-seen, 17, five-knuckle shuffle delivered by John Cena.
08:26And R-Truth's hopes fading by the second.
08:30Attitude adjustments lined up.
08:32R-Truth gets free.
08:33Oh!
08:34And R-Truth has beaten him down, Wade.
08:37Well, Stone Cold Steve Austin for you.
08:40Maybe R-Truth has got a new hero.
08:41R-Truth.
08:44R-Truth finding that reserve against Cena.
08:48And now Cena just comes over right to the side of our announce desk and grabs the championship.
08:54Never been about honor, has it?
08:57It's never been about-
08:57Where's he going?
08:58Glory for John Cena.
09:00It's been exclusively about ruining wrestling.
09:03And it looks like John Cena has ruined tonight's main event.
09:07In the middle of this.
09:11No, no, no.
09:12R-Truth says, you know what?
09:13R-Truth.
09:14That's not how this is going to go.
09:16R-Truth is here to get respect.
09:18Oh!
09:18And he hits him with the title.
09:20Damn it.
09:21Oh!
09:21What a piece of garbage.
09:26Oh, it was a low blow the last time.
09:29Big man.
09:29Oh!
09:30He's got company.
09:32And it's the title challenger next week.
09:36A week and a half.
09:37CM Punk.
09:39Week and a day early.
09:41The second City Saint is here.
09:44The number one contender.
09:45But cut off at the pass.
09:49Before he can get any momentum at all.
09:52Night of Champions next Saturday.
09:55They're going to fight for the undisputed WWE Championship.
10:00Punk is back on his feet.
10:02Punk's on the attack.
10:05And he's got the championship in hand.
10:10Oh!
10:10Right back to it.
10:12How many times have we seen that recently with this version of Cena?
10:16All bets are off.
10:18This is the most desperate, soulless John Cena imaginable.
10:27I don't care how fired up you are, CM Punk.
10:30You cannot cope with that.
10:32Nobody can.
10:33Another low blow by Cena.
10:35And weaponizing the championship.
10:39Did you hear that crack?
10:41The connection of that championship on the skull of CM Punk.
10:48He was walking away with the championship when R-Truth engaged him.
11:02The championship was used as a weapon then.
11:06He low blowed Punk.
11:08And hit him with the title as well.
11:10And now a table is in the middle of the ring.
11:13And the tactics are obvious.
11:15Eight days before Night of Champions.
11:17Eight days before the defense of that championship.
11:22Stack the deck in your favor.
11:24But John Cena has not fought fair since the Elimination Chamber.
11:31And that is not changing anytime soon.
11:35He's got the title in hand again as Punk is trying to steady himself.
11:39Oh!
11:40Right to that same side.
11:42Right to the temple.
11:43With the jewels and gold.
11:46And Punk is in real trouble.
11:48Attitude adjustment right through the table.
11:59What state is CM Punk even going to be in next week?
12:09Cena's grabbing the mic as Punk is laid out.
12:18Punk, as you lay there in your most uncomfortable.
12:38Somebody's afraid of what I'm going to say.
12:41As you lay there in your most uncomfortable.
12:48I hope you can listen.
12:51I hope you can digest.
12:54Because before I leave here.
12:56In six months with that WWE championship.
13:00I got to get a whole lot of stuff off my chest.
13:03First things first.
13:12I don't hate you.
13:15I don't even dislike you.
13:17I like you.
13:20I like you more than anyone you've ever shared a locker room with.
13:23That's for sure.
13:27I hate this idea of you.
13:29It's this idea that you're the best in the world.
13:33You're not.
13:35I'm the greatest of all time.
13:43You're better than me.
13:45And one thing.
13:48You're the best bullshitter in the world.
13:55Oh no, kiddos.
13:57John Cena just dropped a curse word.
14:00That means the show is completely off the rails.
14:04Hey, Stu.
14:04Stu, shoot this.
14:06Hey.
14:07I'm breaking the fourth wall.
14:09Ha ha.
14:17The truth is, Punk.
14:20I'm jealous of you.
14:22I am jealous that you have conned these people
14:29into believing the myth that you're the best in the world.
14:35Ah, they chant for you.
14:37Hell, when you come out, they sing to you.
14:49That they don't believe a goddamn word you say.
14:59Because you change your values
15:01as much as I change my t-shirts.
15:07You're just a loud mouth opportunist
15:10who will step on the necks
15:11of people who actually work hard
15:13if it gets you ahead.
15:15Where's another camera?
15:16Hey, Claudio Castagnoli.
15:21Hey, Nick Nemeth.
15:23Hey, Matt Cardona.
15:25How you guys doing?
15:28Oh yeah, we're still on, baby.
15:31Ha ha.
15:31He's heating up.
15:38What's up, Tina?
15:41He's heating up.
15:43He's on fire.
15:46And there's nobody back there
15:48that's going to cut my mic to save your ass
15:51because I'm your only friend.
15:55Remember who gave you the stage
15:57for your pipe bomb, pal?
15:59And what have you done with it since then, huh?
16:07You've just regurgitated
16:09the same five microphone moves of doom.
16:16You're promo potato salad, pal.
16:20Hey, you're no longer the voice of the voiceless.
16:24You're a friggin' millionaire
16:26despite yourself.
16:30You're not punk.
16:32You're a capitalist.
16:35And you're not against TKO, dude.
16:38You are Mr. TKO.
16:40Because they knocked your balls
16:45technically off your body.
16:50Your tweets are strong.
16:53Your actions are weak.
16:55And in Saudi Arabia,
16:59you're going to face some loud,
17:02loud music
17:03when I finally prove to the world
17:05that each and every day,
17:08day in, day out,
17:10no days off for 25 years,
17:13I have been the greatest of all time.
17:15Chi-ho!
17:19Chi-ho!
17:40Si.
17:41They know.
17:42denner
17:43and they know that you were the best in the world
17:50for seven minutes 14 years ago.
18:02And if after Night of Champions,
18:06you're still delusional enough
18:10to believe that you're the best in the world,
18:14well, I guess it's a small world after all.
18:23You're welcome, Grand Rapids.
18:40Bring your A-game to Night of Champions
18:53because as you can tell,
18:55if this building in Grand Rapids is an indication,
18:57the mood is starting to change.
19:01Now they're checking on CM Punk.
19:16Yeah, a little too late for that.
19:17No, no, no, no, no, no.
19:19That's fine.
19:21I'm not going to do any more damage.
19:23He needs to rest up.
19:24He got a big championship match ahead of him.
19:27Ain't that right?
19:27The best in the world get a good shot
19:32against the greatest of all time
19:36for the most coveted prize in sports entertainment,
19:44the WWE Undisputed Championship.
19:47I know you will sing.
19:54I know you will chant.
19:59But I know even you idiots are smart enough to see the truth.
20:05The champ is here.
20:09Hey, USA, you can keep the extra two and a half minutes.
20:14I don't need a bomb.
20:15Elvis has left the motherfudging building.
20:23Well, he referenced it.
20:25It was...
20:27What is he doing now?
20:29Rip off your promo to make you look even more foolish.
20:34It was 14 years ago this coming week
20:36that CM Punk's name is Pipe Bomb promo took place.
20:39You have to think that from John Cena
20:44has been sitting in the back of his head
20:47for the last 14 years.
20:50Well, that must feel like catharsis
20:52to get those words out
20:53and a fooling CM Punk.
20:55You want coincidence,
20:56of course, that came on the heels
20:57on a table match main event
20:59between Cena and R-Truth.
21:02We just had Cena and R-Truth
21:04and in similar fashion
21:07to the way Cena's been conducting himself now
21:09since becoming the 17-time champion.
21:13Let's take you back
21:14and show you what happened, Wade.
21:17Yeah, well, the match was supposed to be
21:19R-Truth versus John Cena.
21:21That got flattened earlier
21:22with a champion shot.
21:24Championship shot closely followed by one to Cena.
