Backstage, Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez are walking. Then we see Lyra Valkyria walking backstage. Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio arrive, followed by Penta. Bron Breakker is shown arriving the the venue.John Cena’s music hits and the crowd starts singing “John Cena sucks” along with the theme. John Cena enters the ring, grabs a mic, and asks the crowd, “Is there something on your minds?” John Cena turns his attention to the fans, saying he could rip them to shreds and that no one is safe. He brings up last week, saying he called out a clueless kid and mocks WWE for posting the kid’s pathetic face all over social media. “F*** you, Cena” chants break out from the crowd as he soaks it in with a smirk.Cena says he’s the only one who tells the truth. He mocks the fans for using profanity and says they loved watching a helpless kid get embarrassed. He doesn’t need to call anyone out—because all of them are terrible. He says tonight they’ll find out how he makes them pay. For 25 years, he’s listened to their lies and noise, but never stooped to their level.Cena says he’s been paying attention the whole time. While they chanted and mocked, he was studying them. He says they don’t know him—but he knows everything about them. And their lives are sad. Cena says this is the best the fans have to offer. He calls them nothing more than an experiment—rats in a cage.He tells them to name any moment from his career and he’ll say what he learned. He runs through the stages of his run and says the fans always tell him everything because they want to matter. He points to April 2005 as the most important moment—when he introduced the spinner belt. Fans hated it. He says all you have to do is look up the backlash. People called it a toy and said it disrespected the championship’s legacy.That moment told him what matters most. Cena says he’s going to ruin wrestling for everyone—fans, wrestlers, all of it. At WrestleMania, he plans to win his 17th world title and erase Ric Flair’s name. He says people will only remember John Cena.Even worse, he’ll retire with the title and take it home. WWE will have to make a new belt, because the real one is leaving with him. He says he’ll be the last true champion. He ends by saying revenge is coming, and he’ll take away the fans’ memories and dreams.Cody Rhodes’ music hits and he heads to the ring. Cody grabs a mic and apologizes for interrupting. He asks Cena what he just said. Cody repeats Cena’s words—he said he was going to take it all away from the fans. But Cody tells him, if he wants to do that, he’ll have to take it from him first.Cody says he looked closer and saw the truth—Cena is sincere, angry, and willing to do anything. Then Cody tells him he made a huge mistake. Not by attacking him at Elimination Chamber—but by saying all of this to the fans while he was in the building. Cody asks Cena, “Does that bother you?” He says there’s no need to go through their history. What matters is that he fought with everything he had just to hold this title once.Cody reminds Cena that he said all of wrestling history hangs in the balance—because of vanity. Then Cody places the title on the mat and tells Cena he can take it right now. Both men drop their mics and lean over the title like they’re about to grab it. But instead, Cena steps back, leaves the ring, and takes his hand towel with him.Cody yells out John’s name as Cena makes his way up the ramp. Cena pauses, but then turns back around and keeps walking toward the entrance. Cody tells him he can’t let him do this. He says he can’t have it on his conscience. He asks Cena to look at him—and to look at all of them. Cody says Cena’s obsession doesn’t outweigh the fans’ right to keep what matters. He tells him the champion isn’t walking away—the champion is standing in the middle of the ring. And when Cena walks away empty-handed, that’s exactly how he’ll leave WrestleMania. That’s how he’ll leave WWE.We then cut to a video package for the main event between Penta and Bron Breakker.Jey and Theory lock up to start. Jey hits a side headlock and a shoulder tackle.

And one of those, as he puts it, is Seth Rollins—the “diaper piss baby” who cost him everything at Elimination Chamber.Punk says for Seth and Roman, this whole thing is personal. But for him? It’s business. Pure and simple. He says the math is easy: anyone standing in his way and trying to keep him from what he wants has to go.He calls out Seth, claiming he’s been crying since Punk returned because everything Punk does makes Seth look lesser.
