John Cena & Baron Corbin Segment 

John Cena: Interesting video, indeed. Side note, if you can find someone who makes missionary position entertaining for two decades, keep them in your life, it’s worth it, I promise. Now, with that out of the way, Twin Cities, welcome to SmackDown. And what the hell is going on here tonight? Tonight, Roman Reigns signs a contract with Finn Balor for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam, Well, I only think that’s half bad. Much respect to Balor, but it also proves my point that Roman Reigns absolutely sucks. And he sucks because, behind of that passive aggressive false confidence, Roman Reigns is just a scared little kid. No, forreal. So, Roman Reigns accepts Finn Balor’s challenge, right? And Roman Reigns rejects me. Now, trust me, man, I don’t have any problem with rejection, I’ve been rejected in front of the world, you were there for that, it was ugly. It was his reasons, I mean, did you see that video? He rejected me because I didn’t change my music, I didn’t change my look, and I didn’t change who I was, right here.

That is so stupid. That is like asking, Stone Cold Steve Austin, to come back to the WWE as Sasquatch Steve Houston. The Rock, finally came back to the WWE, he would come back as Dwayne Too Small Johnson. And instead of saying, if you smell what The Rock is cooking, he would say like, well, do you consensually touch what the small Johnson is barely holding?  You see, it’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous because that’s not who those guys are. You know it, they know it, and they believe it, and they stand proud in this ring every single night. They do not beg you to acknowledge that. They allow you to make some noise, they allow you to show some life, they allow you to cheer, they allow you to boo, hell, they even allow you to get out of your seats and be electric.

And they simply do their best each time, to earn your respect. You see, Roman Reigns expected me to change because that’s what Roman Reigns has to do. You’re gonna like this one, Roman Reigns has to change every two years because you people stop caring about him. You people stop caring about him because you don’t believe in him. And you don’t believe in him, because Roman Reigns doesn’t believe in himself, believe that. Roman Reigns is nothing more than a lazy stooge named Joe, who coasts by on every gimmick in the system, and is nothing more than a blood sucking product of this machine who is so afraid to fail. Roman, I would’ve embarrassed your ass at SummerSlam, and you know it. You didn’t reject me because how I looked, you’re afraid to fight me because you know how I would make you look.

John said, that by accepting your challenge, I’m ducking him. I’m ducking him, so that means, he thinks you’re lesser than him, you’re a lesser man than he is, that’s what he thinks, that’s what he said. I’d boo, too, it’s a jerk thing to say. But I don’t think this. I think you’re worthy.

I think you’re worthy to challenge for the Universal Championship. And I think you’re worthy to catch this beat down at SummerSlam. But just for the record, I don’t think you’re anything like John.
