I don’t want to wrestle this John Cena. I don’t want to fight a guy who didn’t even want this match in the first place. I don’t want to fight a guy who is counting the days until he is out the door. No. At SummerSlam, I want to fight the real John Cena. Because if I’m going to stand here and own it, I need to know I can go through the very best and the title that John Cena has is the biggest title in our game. It means he is the very best.
This isn’t about nostalgia. This isn’t about headlines. This is about a once-in-a-generation superstar, someone who redefined what it is to be a pro-wrestler. So John Cena, if this is your last SummerSlam, come like it is your first. I want you up there, talking to Stu the cameraman, I want you wearing the title the right way, I want you running to the ring. I want all the hustle. I want all the loyalty. And the respect? We can beat it out of each other.
