John Cena gets in the ring and says 1 month ago, WWE announced they
would continue at the PC in front of no audience. This was a message
that left everyone asking what’s really going to happen. It’s been a
bit of a learning curve, some great moments and together they have
navigated it all. And it has lead us here, the final minutes of the
final broadcast before an unprecedented WrestleMania. Where once
again, all of us are asking what’s really going to happen.
Cena says starting tomorrow night on the WWE Network, an epic
broadcast which will be the most viewed and talked about in history.
Because for the first time ever, no one really knows what’s going to
happen. Cena says he has been challenged to a FireFly Fun House
match. He cannot get anyone to tell him what it is. He doesn’t think
Wyatt himself knows what it is. But that’s exactly what The Fiend
wants. He says The Fiend loves uncertainty. Because it leads to fear
and fear leads to panic and that could lead to collapse. Cena says
The Fiend thrives off of uncertainty and The Fiend has dominated the
WWE landscape with uncertainty, fear and panic.
John Cena says on the eve of WrestleMania, we stare at uncertainty.
Cena says what happens next is he won’t panic, he’s not afraid and
he will squash Wyatt and finish what he started six years ago. He
doesn’t care what kind of match it is, Wyatt is not even on the
level below him. Anyone who knows what he is capable of realizes
that a poor man’s version of a bootleg Mr. Rogers doesn’t stand a
chance. He asks if hes supposed to be afraid of Wyatt. Goldberg
exposed that The Fiend has weakness and at WM he will expose him as
an embarrassment.
Cena says he was stepping aside and invest in the future but Fiend
challenged him for a match on his terms at his terms. But he will
still lose. And as far as his challenge, he accepts. We see Ramblin
Rabbit sitting in the crowd. On the other side it’s the pig as all
of Wyatt’s characters appear in the audience. The lights go out and
come back on as red smoke fills a part of the Performance Center.
