_______________________________________________

WWE Champion John Cena comes out and makes his way to the ring to address the fans.

Rock mentions in a tweet that he had to get checked on by a doctor for a torn abdomen muscle he received during his match last night.

Cena soaks in the cheers and jeers.

Cena: It should be every WWE Superstar’s dream to be in the main event at WrestleMania. Not only be in the main event but win at WrestleMania. Because when you win the main event you enjoy everything that goes along with it. The adulation. The respect. The cheers!

The fans boo.

Cena: The cheers!

Still booing.

Cena: The cheers? Okay i’ll stop you right there. We’ve known each other for ten years now. I may be going out on a limb but you guys seem a little bit angry. Maybe a little more than angry. I’m upset too. WrestleMania is over, I get it. That’s why you’re upset. I know! But there’s the thing. WWE isn’t like the day after Christmas. This is the Raw after WrestleMania, and it don’t matter how you feel about me. Everyone sitting here-

“BORING!” chants.

Cena: Amazingly enough every Raw after every WrestleMania is more than that. How about last year? Brock comes back and kicks my ass. And hell i’m feeling pretty good tonight. We got a VERY volatile crowd. I may do some sort of championship dance tonight. It may have a little…shake.

Cena dances a little

Cena: Don’t like the shake? How about a kick? A little kick? So no kick either? I know, how about a little heel turn?

Cena turns his heel and the fans cheers!

Cena: That’s what i’m talking about! Last night with the world watching two titans clashed! Hell even The Rock got hurt, but out of that…a champion rose! So I proudly say to you THE CHAMP. IS. HERE!

He pauses. The fans cheer and boo.

Cena: This is exactly what I wanted for a WrestleMania main event celebration. Because right now, right here, this is my post WrestleMania celebration. Because i’m gonna celebrate the only way I know how. I’m not gonna rest up and drop balloons in the ceiling. I’m going to fight with this. We’re going to start post WrestleMania off right with a WWE Championship match! I don’t care if it’s Dolph Ziggler, Randy Orton, or CM Punk. Tonight we’re going to have a fight-

Mark Henry comes out and makes his way down to the ring. He gets in and stares at Cena.

Henry: What’s up, Champ? The problem with coming out here and asking for trouble is that trouble might just find you. Now see, you won your match last night at WrestleMania.

“Sexual Chocolate” chant

Cena: It’s a raucous crowd, they wanna have sex with chocolate.

Henry: You listen to me! Don’t pay attention to them! I destroyed Ryback last night. And with all this talk, I think me and you need to have some action.

“Feed Me More!”

Cena: First they wanna have sex with chocolate, then they wanna eat some more. Mr. World’s Strongest Man allowed me to introduce myself. John Cena, WWE Champion. I can see that look in your eye and i’m afraid. I’m afraid to tell you you have the breath of a thousand asses. You want a fight you got it! Mark Henry takes on John Cena for the WWE Championship!

Smackdown General Manager Booker T comes out and heads to the ring.

Booker: Cena, I appreciate you being a fighting champion, but I can’t have you come out here making championship matches. It ain’t going down like that. Now the deal is, The Rock is entitled to a rematch.

Cena: “Once in a Lifetime” best out of three?

Booker: The Rock is the number one contender for the WWE Championship. Now, however, Rock suffered an injury last night and he will not be here tonight. But, Mark Henry. You want a shot at the WWE Championship? Well i’ll give you a shot, but you’ll have to earn it. If you can beat John Cena in the middle of this ring tonight you’ll get your title shot. But ONLY if you beat John Cena.

Henry: Get your hands off me, Booker.

He turns to Cena.

Henry: See, you’re full of jokes and got all of them laughing, but i’m not. All those jokes are gonna get you is entered into the Hall of Pain. Bring your A game!
