The WWE Champion John Cena comes out to mixed reactions from the crowd. The 17 time Champion salutes the Universe before running down to the ring.*
Cena grabs a microphone looking out at the Fans here in Chattanooga smiling.*
Cena: "You people here in Chattanooga are crazy up in Here. (Fans cheer) But that's cool because I love crazy. I love the WWE and being here in front of you all and saying THE CHAMP....IS.... HEEEEERRREEEEEE. Now let's keep it real for a second it's been a crazy*week ever since Triple H wants to come at me for the WWE CHAMPIONSHIP.* What's the matter man you upset I beat Flairs record of 16 time Champion? Don't get it twisted homie one day maybe you'll get there haha. I'm a 17 time World Champion Triple H. My name is in the history books. And I'm not going anywhere anytime soon so with Extreme Rules getting closer Hunter why wait? We've been going back and fourth for years man and now that you got your new Authority with you and you wanna throw your weight around let's do this. You want some? COME GET SOME!"*
Fans cheer as John Cena stands there ready for a fight. Triple H comes out with the Authority behind him all in suits and smiles. H stares down the 17 time World Champion.**
H: "John you really wanna know why I made the match between me and you at Extreme Rules? I'll tell you it's really quite simple.* You see it's because you're a Star John. Yeah look around you. You got these people cheering for you anywhere you go. They love you John. Just think now how many Fans are happy because you won 17 World Championships. They believe in you John. I no WE watched you grow here in the WWE. WrestleManias. Movies. World Titles. You became a Star Cena. Hell you even beat me at WrestleMania. Until I kicked your *** later haha. But here's the thing Cena. When the New Authority showed up to run things we actually considered choosing you to be our Diamond. Look how we made Seth Rollins. Look at the list of names I scouted and made World Champions. Seth Rollins.* Randy Orton.* Batista. Kevin Owens. You see John Im always scouting. Whos gonna be the next man of the WWE? The new face of the Company.* Daniel Bryan finally came to his senses when he realized you cant fight against thw Authority and he shook my hand last night on RAW. That could be you John. Now here's where the reality also sets in. You don't deserve to be 17 time Champion.* Flair does. I do. Hell I'm not even 16 time Champion yet. But I'll tell you what Cena. If you really want to be the Man you can side with us. We will guide you. "*
Cena laughs as Fans boo.*
Cena: "I told you once already homie. You don't have me in your pocket. You list off names like Seth Rollins.* Batista.* Randy Orton.* Kevin Owens yeah the list goes on but check it out Hunter you know the one thing they all have in common as well as World Champions? You turned your back on all of them. Every single one. Well it looks like you still have Batistas lips on your *** but there's one name who's not on that list and never will be. JOHN CENA.. So take your offer and shove it up your ***! You wanna say I don't deserve to break Flairs record? You better listen close cause I bust my *** for this Place and when I win Titles it's because I deserve it. I deserve to stand here as a 17 Time World Champion. I respect Ric Flair but all due respect Triple H if Flair wants a chance to tie this record he can come find me. But in the meantime Hunter I'm gonna show you exactly why I'm a 17 time Champion when I beat your *** at Extreme Rules!"*
Fans cheer as Triple H laughs.*
H: "You know we figured you would say that John. That's why we never really considered you to be the future. You're too predictable Cena. You really are not what's best for Business.* The diamond of the new Authority? I don't think so John. Tonight you're going to get a piece of what's gonna happen to you at Extreme Rules.* You wanna be the Champ Cena then Tonight you will face Me. Kane. And the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman in a Handicap Match! By the time you reach Extreme Rules Cena you won't be able to even defend that Title hahaha. Oh and your buddy Orton is gonna suffer the same fate as he will face Vince. Shane. And HBK Shawn Michaels! See you tonight Cena."*

I have before actually when I won this Universal Championship from you. But tonight I wanna tell you something and I want you to pay attention.* Listen up Brock. This Match is gonna be big. I'm not just fighting to retain my Universal Championship.* I'm fighting to make sure you don't hold this Company hostage again like you've done soo many times before. You come and go as you please because you think you're Brock Lesnar this Company revolves around you? I don't think so.* Because unlike you Brock me and the Men and Women in that locker room back there we LOVE WWE. We show up every Monday and Tuesday night cause we LOVE this place. You on the other hand cause you're Vince McMahons Golden Boy you leave for Weeks on end and only show up when you feel like it. When's the last time you wrestled on Monday Night? Tuesday? Friday? Been a long time. I'm sick of you Brock. Everybody is sick of you. You barely been around lately only showing up when the Money or City is right. That ends next Sunday. If you win Brock you're gonna take the Universal Championship with you and disappear for Months hiding and keeping this place hostage and that ends. No more special treatment Brock. If you want this Championship around my Waist and try to hold this place Hostage again you have to go through Me. "*

UNDISPUTED UNIVERSAL CHAMPION for the 4th time."*
He laughs taunting Rollins who stares back.*
Rollins: "504 Days. Real easy to have that kind of Title Reign when you barely show up here. Paul Heyman I'm gonna beat your Beast and slay him once again. He wants to be the Champion he's gotta pry this Title from my cold dead fingers."*
