We are back and John Cena makes his way to the ring to discuss the Table, Ladders, and Charis Champion of Champions Match.
John says things are heating up. The WWE Universe is still buzzing after Monday Night Raw. There is some energy left over here tonight. They made history on Monday. For the first time the World and WWE Champions willingly gave up their titles. Those trophies are things that men have worked their entire lives for. Ninety-nine percent of WWE Superstars will never hold on to one of those championships.
Why is it hanging above his head? Because of the moment. This Sunday. The history and impact that this means. Sunday will be monumental. Even a conceited, crybaby simpleton like Randy Orton knows that this needs to happen. The sad things is that Randy does not know what it will take to make this happen.
John says that he has known Randy Orton for 12 years. During that time, he has called Randy a friend. He knows what Randy is. He is brutal, conniving, physical, calculating. He inflicts pain. Randy Orton is the Apex Predator.
In 12 years, you learn a man’s strengths and you learn his weaknesses. Randy has a glass jaw. He doesn’t like to be hit too much. When things don’t go Randy’s way, he runs and hides. On Sunday, there is nowhere to run. There is nowhere to hide. What happens when you fall off a ladder and your eye swells shut? What will happen when a steel chair is rapped over your back and tingles down your spine and your hands start to tingle? What will happen when you go through a table and your body feels like it doesn’t move?
John says that he will crash through that table and he will get back up. He was built to fight the Apex Predator. He was built to take the beating of his life. He will get back up.
Randy Orton is great, but on Sunday that is where he will fail. There will come a point where he will get hurt and his body will ache. Will he keep going or will he do what he has done for the last 12 years? Make an excuse and take the easy way out. Orton will take that choice and he will show the world what John already knows. Randy doesn’t have the nuts.
On Sunday, the WWE crowns one champion and that champion . . . is here.
We go to commercial.
