He leaves again and comes back using Macho Man's music while he wears a robe and has a woman on his arm

The show opens with a video recapping Cena and Reigns' big contract signing from last week.
John Cena vs. Jason Jordon
John Cena won
Roman Reigns came out before the break. When we return, he and Cena are still in the ring. Roman asks Cena why it took him almost 20 minutes to beat Jordan when he is a 16-time champion. He accuses Cena of giving Jordan hope just so he can crush it, but he also
says Cena might simply be less capable than he used to be.
Cena says it's a mistake for Reigns to try to use his brain and makes a joke about Roman not having any balls. He says Reigns will get all the answers he seeks at No Mercy. He calls
Reigns a conceited golden boy who needs to be taught respect. He says even The Miz has earned his respect over the years because he never stops hustling.
Cena says Reigns makes a lot of claims, but none of the fans agree with him. He asks if Roman can use his brain to see what is actually happening or if he needs to beat some sense into him. Reigns dares him to do it. They each say they don't respect each other.
