Kurt Angle comes out to preside over the contract signing between John Cena and Roman Reigns.
John Cena comes out
Reigns comes down and laughs at the idea of him being scared to fight Cena. He says Cena isn't as big of a deal as he thinks he is. He reminds everyone what he did to The Undertaker at WrestleMania and says he doesn't really need to fight Cena.
Cena calls Reigns a corporate-created John Cena bootleg and Roman says Cena is great at spinning the facts and says the fans don't boo him because they want him to be a heel. They boo him because he sucks. Cena says they say the same thing about Angle and he won a gold medal.
After Cena insults Reigns' ability to cut a promo, Reigns says Cena is a fake part-timer bitch He says Cena is a backstabbing shark who only shows up when WWE offers him enough money. He claims he is the one person Cena can't see and can't bury.
Cena says it took Reigns five years to cut a promo, but now he is going to teach him a lesson. He says he doesn't have a magic shovel and the fans are the ones who hold the keys to success. Cena claims he looked at winning the U.S. title as a new opportunity while Reigns saw it as a demotion.
Cena says he can do this part-time better than Reigns can full-time. Roman signs the deal before flipping over the table. Then Anderson and Gallows come out.
Angle books Cena and Reigns vs. Gallows and Anderson
