[Q1] Michael Cole voiced over a photo of the Ultimate Warrior, and mentioned that Raw will be a tribute show to his memory. The show then cut to the arena, where John Cena made his entrance. Cole played up John Cena preserving his legacy at WrestleMania. Cena asked the crowd if they were tired, and said it had been an exhausting week. Cena called the moment that opened WrestleMania with Stone Cold, The Rock, and Hulk Hogan the most iconic moment in WrestleMania history. He recapped some of the big moments on the show, and said Bray Wyatt still can't see him. He took a somber tone while he spoke of The Undertaker's streak coming to an end, and fired up when he spoke about Daniel Bryan capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

He then recapped Raw, and thanked the fans for rewriting his theme music. He mentioned Rusev, Bo Dallas, Paige, Adam Rose, etc. Cena said that the future is now, and there are a lot of promising superstars on the roster. He said he his not the one, or the viper, or the boss. He called himself the measuring stick, and that if people want to plant their flag on the top of the mountain, they would have to go through him to do it. The Wyatt sounder hit. Luke Harper said that it's said that time heals all wounds, but it will just give them more time to hurt him with.

Bray Wyatt said he wished he could feel pain, but he's different, and we should all celebrate our differences, right kids? If he lost to John Cena on Sunday, why can't he stop smiling? WrestleMania was the first time he saw John Cena wasn't hollow. He saw the good and the bad, the dreams he hadn't yet dreamed, and all of his struggles. At WrestleMania, he was so close to bringing out the monster, but he now sees that he will have to go to extremes to do it. He started singing "He's got the whole world in his hands" and the Wyatt's flashed away. Cole plugged Daniel Bryan and The Usos' vs. Kane, Batista, and Randy Orton.
