John Cena & Randy Orton Segment

Randy Orton: Do you know what I found out just a couple days ago? In a couple of months, it will be 25 years to the day that you and I first shook hands. 25 years. I have known you for 25 years. And I mean this as a compliment, up until a few months ago, you never changed. You were always about hustle, loyalty, respect. It wasn’t some catchy slogan for merchandise, it was a way of life, it was your mantra for everyday of your life. So I realized these past few months, I had to think long and hard about what’s going on. There’s a void inside of you, John, a void that needs fulfillment. So, I started racking my brain, and I started thinking about all of the fans over the years, the millions and millions of kids that have looked up to you since day one. All the kids that you have motivated, that you have been a role model for. These kids, they set goals because of you, they accomplished those goals and set more goals.

Whether it was the track and field, on the court, or in the classroom, you made those children better. Generation and generations of kid looked up to you. Surely that means something to you. You’ve granted more wishes than anybody in the history of the Make A Wish Foundation. You can’t tell me, I know you too well, you can’t tell me that each and every one of those sick children that you met, left with a piece of your heart, you can’t tell me that they were just a number, I know that meant something to you. So, I’ve figured out how to fill the void. Take it from me, John, you need to have some damn kids. Wait, wait, can you imagine a couple squared jaw, thick forearmed little Cena’s running around? The world would be a better place, and then you would be back to being who you are, who you truly are, who I know you are. You need to become a Father, man, grow up, it will make you a better human being.

John Cena: How dare you? How dare you prance out here with a smile on your face, under the guise of making me feel better, and then parent shame me in front of the whole world? Congratulations, Randy Orton, you have children, and you love them. Good for you. Do you want to know the real reason why I don’t have kids? Because I’ve spent the last 25 raising yours. And by the sound of it, from this group tonight, I have done an impeccable job. Here is the real truth, for the last 25 years, I have been a better parent to your children than you could ever be. That’s right, kid, your dad is a loser. Oh, great, a 6-year-old just gave me the middle finger, classy, very, very classy. That, sir, that is why I don’t have kids. I have been policing brats like this for a quarter century. Bit of advice, kid, never bring a knife to a gun fight. Bet your loser dad didn’t teach you that one. Don’t look at me like you’re going to do something either. Are we done here?

Randy Orton: No, we’re not even close to being done here, man. God, has that Hollywood rot, has that set so deep inside your brain, you can’t even here what I’m saying right now? It doesn’t have to be one or the other, these fans are the reason why you are here standing before me, in this ring, right now. They’re the reason you’re in Hollywood, right now. WWE is why you made it to Hollywood, and you’re crushing it. You cut your teeth here, you honed your skills here, you developed your work ethic in this ring. You took to it Hollywood, and like I said, you’re crushing it. Without the WWE, there’s no Hollywood, and without the WWE Universe, there is no WWE. No matter which way you add it up, no matter what kind of math you apply to it, these fans are the biggest reason that you are standing here today in this ring with me. John, I’ve made a lot of mistakes throughout my life, throughout my career, and I’ve learned from them. I’ve had a long journey, but I can go back to that locker room, with my head held high, and I get respect from my peers. I am piece of furniture here, I’m here to stay. You, man, you’re just a guest.

John Cena: We all have our perspectives. I used to believe yours, that without them, there’s no WWE. I used to think that we won, together. I was wrong, we didn’t win anything, I did. I have never needed a single one of those people. They will chant in the same breath, Let’s Go Cena, Cena Sucks. I just called out a rando, and he turned pale white, imagine being told you that you suck for 25 years? They don’t mean anything to me. You are just like all of them, you’re all hypocrites, because once you get tired of me, you can put all of your energy into any superstar you want to cheer for. But if the roles are reversed, and I put my energy into anything other than this, I’m an outcast? I’m a guest? That’s why this is dysfunctional. That’s why this doesn’t work anymore. That’s not a functional relationship, that’s manipulation. You are simply manipulating the truth to make yourself feel good, that you have done nothing with your lives. The only thing that man right there has done, is dressed up to look like Jack Black. He’s 100 years old, and that’s all he has to say for his life. I get criticized and labeled as an outcast, a guest, for simply trying to do something different.

Randy Orton: You know what, you know what, you know what? I was so stupid, I was so stupid to come out here, and think for one second, that in this weird bizarro world, where I’m a good guy, and you’re a bad guy, that you would somehow listen to what I’m saying. But the words that are coming out of my mouth, they’re not penetrating your thick ass skull, are they, John? Cody Rhodes, before his badass entrance music starts, it says, wrestling has more than one royal family. You know, he’s not just talking about his family, right, he’s also talking about my family. You want to ruin wrestling? Wrestling has given me everything. Ever since I came out of my mother’s womb, wrestling has provided for me. Wrestling will provide for me and my children, and my loves ones until I’m put six feet in the freaking ground. Ruin wrestling, you’re not going to ruin wrestling, not over my dead body.

John Cena: Shut your mouth. You just don’t understand, do you? I will explain it to you. I’ve already won 17, okay? You’ve won 14. But after I take this home with me, you are forever frozen at 14. Yes, there will be another show. You will have other matches. They will create some tinfoil title and decide a champion. And if you’re lucky to ever get your hands on it, your counter starts over at 1, you babbling moron. What I am trying to do, Randy Orton, is when I leave here, makes sure three generations of your family is erased.

Randy Orton: You say, you’re The Last Real Champion?  Alright, prove it, right here, right now, put that title on the line, and fight me? Right here, right now, come on. You’re not erasing my family’s legacy. How dare you say that to me, after everything we’ve been through. How dare you say that to all of these people?

John Cena: No. No, and just like so many times over the past 25 years, I’m doing this to save your ass. There should be a match. Randy Orton versus John Cena, for the Undisputed Championship. But it shouldn’t happen here. I’ve already given you a hard enough time, it’s not your fault, it’s for Randy. It should happen at Backlash, Randy, because Backlash is in St. Louis, Missouri. I know that’s hard for you to hear, but for Randy, it’s great, because Randy is from St. Louis. So, you can spend the whole day with your family, Randy. You make sure you show up all rested, Randy Orton at his best, because I need Randy Orton at his best. Because after Backlash, when you fail, you will have no excuses. Take a good look, Randy, this is what the Last Real Champion looks like. And this is as close to this championship as you’re ever going to get.

Tiffany Stratton & Jade Cargill Segment 

Tiffany Stratton: What time is it? That’s right, at WrestleMania, in front of 60,000 people, it was Tiffy Time. I went toe-to-toe with one of the greatest of all-time, Charlotte Flair. And I can’t even lie, there were moments where I doubted myself, and the pressure got to me, but in the end, I prevailed, and I walked out of WrestleMania, and still, your WWE Women’s Champion. I always told for the longest time, Tiffy, you’re the next Charlotte Flair, wrong. There may be only one, Charlotte Flair, but I guarantee you, there’s only one Tiffany Stratton.

And since business is finished with Naomi, I have nothing but time. So, I think it’s time for me to remind everybody why I came here to WWE. I think it’s time for everyone to see why I came here to be a champion. And I think it’s time for you to understand that, just because you beat Charlotte, it doesn’t make you the best, especially when you haven’t faced me.

Jacob Fatu, Solo Sikoa, LA Knight, Drew McIntyre Segment 

Solo Sikoa: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, show some love and respect for your new United States Champion, Jacob Fatu. At WrestleMania, everyone saw what I already knew, that Jacob Fatu, he’s the future. He’s the future of this company. But let me remind you of something, nobody in my family, nobody wanted him here, except me. They thought he was trouble, though that he was too much of a risk, but you know who changed that? You know who made it all happen? It was me. I’m the reason that Jacob is the champion. I’m the one that brought him here. I’m the one that took him to the promise land. I took Jacob off the streets and made him the United States Champion. Jacob was here, because of me. This is what happens, when you love your family. Jacob would not be standing here if it wasn’t for me.

Jacob Fatu: See, let’s not get it twisted, I told you I was gonna win the US Title. I told you, the US Title was coming home to the family. And I told you I was gonna do it with you or without out, and that’s exactly what I did. So, Texas, look at your new US Champion. You see, I know that this title makes me America’s most wanted. Hell, I know that this title makes me a menace to society, but at the end of the day, you better get in where you fit in. Because I’m all gas, no breaks with it, you know what I mean? FATU!

LA Knight: Let me talk to you. At WrestleMania, I guaranteed, I told you, you eat a BFT, and my god, you ate a BFT. I dropped you right there on your big fat mop head. You reached and grabbed the rope, and good for you, because after that, you were able to capitalize, and you were able to beat me in the middle of that ring. I give credit where credit is due. It could happen to anybody, any night, anybody could get it. But you got to understand something. I walked back there, and everybody says, man, you had a hell of a match at WrestleMania. I ain’t worried about having a hell of a match at WrestleMania, I’m worried about winning, I’m worried about taking that championship. And if you can’t understand what I’m saying, what I’m saying is, I want my rematch, and I want it, right now.

Drew McIntyre: You know, Dallas, it’s not always easy being Drew McIntyre. I mean, personally, it is, being tall, jacked, handsome, and just like Texas, I got some big guns. But professionally, I’ve been screwed over time and time, again in every world title match. At WrestleMania, I had to get past the last roadblock, and I beat Damian Priest in one of the most violent matches in WrestleMania history. So, Priest, I know you’re not here today, I know you’re going to be out for a while, but I just want to take a moment to say, thank you, it was an absolute pleasure to embarrass you in front of your entire family. The next plan was to challenge John Cena for the World Title, and then Randy Orton jumped the line, the same Randy Orton I beat three weeks ago. I’m starting to wonder everybody, is it World Wrestling Entertainment or Nepo Wrestling Entertainment? Speaking of which, hello, Bloodline.

LA Knight: Yawn, you done yet?

Drew McIntyre: I’ll get to you in a second.

LA Knight: Yeah, continue on.

Drew McIntyre: I’ve been watching Cena the past few weeks, I watched him tonight, he ain’t the same guy, he’s a punk now. Drew McIntyre wants to fight the baddest dog in the yard. I want to fight the baddest champion in the yard. Jacob, I want to fight you.

LA Knight: Blah, blah, blah, blah, can somebody wake me up when this mush mouth is done?

Drew McIntyre: Always with the jokes. The only joke around here was your last US Title Run.

LA Knight: Oh, I would say your last title run was a joke, but I can’t remember it. So, I’ll tell you what, if you got a problem with Randy Orton, go talk to Randy Orton. But right now, you’re standing here on the time, that’s my time when I said I want my US Championship. But if you think you’re just gonna make claim to that US Championship, I’ll tell you what, you think you deserve it so bad, why don’t you show me.

Drew McIntyre: Okay.

Nick Aldis: Woah, woah, woah, hold on a second there, fellas. I think we could all see where this is going, so before you two tear each other apart, how about I offer an alternative? How about you come back here, you put your tights on, you put your boots, you lace them up tight, and Forth Worth, Texas, I’ll give you Drew McIntyre versus LA Knight, one-on-one, tonight, and the winner is the number one contender for the United States Championship.

– Byron Saxton had backstage interview with Zelina Vega. Zelina knows that she has a big mouth, and she always has something to say, but tonight is one of those nights where she’s speechless, because that’s how important this night is to her. She wanted this for so long. And just like her mentor, Rey Mysterio, she wants to bring some Latino Heat to her match tonight. And just like how they do it in Texas, you either go big or you go home, and Zelina is not going home until she has the Women’s US Championship around her waist.

He wants to go out to the arena, because he has some things to get off his chest, and he wants to make a moment.

The Miz & Aleister Black Segment 

The Miz: You know, since 2007, I have been an integral part of WrestleMania. But this year, at the highest grossing WrestleMania in history, I had no match, no mention, nowhere to be found. May I remind you, I main evented WrestleMania, beating John Cena, retaining the WWE Championship, something that, Cody Rhodes, your chosen hero couldn’t do last week. And yet, he gets the cheers, the pyro, and the spotlight. But I get it, I get it, he was the champion, so he deserved to be at WrestleMania. But when Rey Mysterio comes hobbling into WrestleMania, does he come to a fellow legend to fill his boots, no, he goes to a guy who’s been here for two weeks.

I’ve been here for 20 years. What do I have to do? Wear a luchador mask, and call myself, Rey? Then KO goes down, Orton needs an opponent, he needs an opponent. Do you guys want a guy who’s beaten Randy Orton for the WWE Championship? No, you guys want a guy that’s an internet meme, a TikTok Trend, a guy who does musical theater in a wrestling ring. I am sick of it. I am sick and tired of people showing up in WWE, people I am a bigger star than, people that cannot lace my boots in this ring. I’m sick of them getting opportunity after opportunity. May I remind you, that I am the A-Lister, I am the most must see WWE Superstar of all-time. And may you never forget that, I’m The Miz, and I am AWESOME!

– The lights go out in the building. Aleister Black has finally made his WWE return. Black drops Miz with The Black Mass to close this segment.

– Byron Saxton had a backstage interview with Bianca BelAir. She suffered a couple broken fingers at WrestleMania, but she wouldn’t have it any other way. She’s so proud about what all three of them were able to accomplish on Sunday. Bianca doesn’t blame Iyo Sky capitalizing on the opportunity that was presented to her. She still has unfinished business with Rhea Ripley, but her focus right now is coming back home to SmackDown.

– Naomi runs into Nia Jax in the backstage area. Nia doesn’t care about this revenge plot that Naomi has for Jade Cargill. But when it comes to Tiffany Stratton and the WWE Women’s Title, Naomi needs to stay out of her way. Naomi says that she will as long as Nia proceeds with caution.
