Reigns is in the ring with Cena. Cena is pacing back and forth. Reigns says he has one question for Cena. If Cena is what he says he is, why does it take a 16-time champ 20 minutes to beat a rookie. Reigns says Cena strung it out then he crushed his spirits. Or Cena lied last week and he isn’t a good as he thinks he is. That means Cena proved Reigns right.

Fans cheer and a “yes!” chant starts up. Reigns tells Cena to do it right now. Reigns asks if fans want to see Cena beat his ass and they do.
Reigns taunts Cena and says this is Cena’s moment to finally back up his big mouth. Just like Reigns thought, Cena is all talk and that’s why he doesn’t respect Cena. Reigns drops the mic and leaves the ring as his music hits. Cena stares him down with a smirk on his face.
