00:00Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for

00:03the official contract signing for the undisputed WWE Championship match at

00:11SummerSlam.

00:14Please join me in welcoming the challenger,

00:18the American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes.

00:24Wrestling has no longer life,

00:29loyal family.

00:54Sons of the Beat.

00:58Cry is here about the flow,

01:00Mad for me to start the show.

01:03Advertise lights go off the rules.

01:08Whoa!

01:14When I was younger,

01:17Hot Top 3, Beverly.

01:20The undisputed WWE Championship, it comes your way in just two weeks.

01:38The biggest party of the summer, MetLife Stadium, August 2nd and 3rd.

01:43And Kobe gets his championship back.

01:46John Cena holding on to it, as he says, the last real champion.

01:53The American Nightmare, set to sign the contract to put it into action.

02:16John Cena holding on to it, as he says, the last real champion.

02:21He took it all away, give it all.

02:24So, San Antonio.

02:36What do you want to talk about?

02:48I appreciate that warm reception, making me feel like a Texan.

02:53My father was a Texan.

02:55My brother is a Texan.

02:56They were outlaws, and all I ever wanted to be was like them.

03:03I got the opportunity, though, to be something different.

03:07I got to be the WWE Undisputed Champion.

03:14This past week, I posted something on social media.

03:18And the moment I pressed send, it was overanalyzed.

03:22It was scrutinized.

03:23It was dissected.

03:24That was never my intention.

03:26The gist of it was simple.

03:27I said, do not flinch.

03:30And I said, thank you for riding with me.

03:39The do not flinch.

03:42That might have been for myself.

03:45Because I did not flinch when just up 35, I returned at WrestleMania and I came back home.

03:52I did not flinch when I stood across from a future Hall of Famer with a muscle hanging off the bone.

03:58I did not flinch when I stood across from the Beast.

04:01I did not flinch when I went back to back at the Royal Rumble, one of them in this very city.

04:06I did not flinch.

04:11I did not flinch when I faced my friend, my brother, Jey Uso.

04:15I did not flinch when I faced my mentor, Randy Orton.

04:19And that I did not flinch when politics and the final boss came for my soul and came for my spot.

04:26But I flinched at WrestleMania 41 against one of the most beloved wrestlers in the history of our sport,

04:44against John Cena.

04:46I understand, believe me, I understand.

05:12It is an unenviable task to be the one trying to take it away from, again, perhaps the most beloved wrestler in the history of our game.

05:24But nonetheless, it is the task that I was born for at SummerSlam.

05:34It is one match for the rest of my life.

05:37And I know that I've signed, it takes two for this dance to work.

05:44So, Mr. Pierce, if you will.

05:48And ladies and gentlemen, the undisputed WWE Champion, John Cena.

06:00John Cena.

06:01Ja.
