John Cena makes his way out to the ring. Cena is being heckled and he puts down the mic as he doesn’t need approval from the fans. He says for 25 years he’s been the victim of an abusive relationship and says all the fans have ever done is bully him and that the WWE Universe has been awful to him for his whole career. He talks about how won a lot, and he was hated. He’s given back, and he’s hated and that no matter what he does it’s never enough and the WWE Universe should be ashamed of themselves and all they do is take and take. Cena put his values on the line, and all anyone wonders is “What do we get?” and no one asks how he feels. He says we get nothing and we get what we have earned and we’ve earned nothing. He says his time is finally now. He talks about how Cody Rhodes will get the same treatment and how everyone has taken things from him and made him a joke. He says he was used as an escape for everyone as everyone is a failure and how everyone is mad he was succeeding and no one else is. Cena says he is ending this toxic relationship and how no one matters to him now. Cody Rhodes makes his way out to the ring to confront Cena. Rhodes says he was willing to hear Cena out and from what he understands is that, while he agrees Cena was given hate he was also given the best from the WWE Universe and tells Cena to stop with the complaining. He reminds Cena that he is the WWE Champion and asks Cena who he is – where is the guy on his shirt? He tells Cena he doesn’t like this version of Cena and “this” Cena better not be at WrestleMania. He tells Cena to find the real Cena and not this whiney bitch because he wants to face the real Cena at Mania. Rhodes drops his mic and leaves, leaving Cena in the ring alone. Cena drops his mic and leaves the ring as well.
