Paul Heyman is in the ring. He introduces himself and yay though he walks through the valley of the Cenation, he fears no Thuganomics because he is the advocate for the Beast, the conqueror, the reigning Undisputed Champion of the World . . . Brock Lesnar.
His client has authorized him to disseminate confidential information and he wants to deliver this warning as if he was up in the face of your hero . . . John Cena.
John’s music plays as he interrupts Paul’s comments.
Cena tells Paul not to worry. He didn’t want to stretch anyone’s imagination. If you want to say something to his face, go ahead and talk.
Paul says that is why he only tells Brock that until SummerSlam, John was the greatest WWE Champion of all time. It takes a special man to be confronted by the truth by the greatest advocate in the history of the WWE. Paul says that Brock thought that John would come out tonight. If that happened, he was authorized to drop the warning and give John some inside information.
This is John’s lucky night because John will be told how to beat Brock Lesnar at Night of Champions.
John says that he knows how to win at Night of Champions. Three simple words. Brock beat the Undertaker and we haven’t heard a peep from Taker in six months. John Cena loses at SummerSlam and one week later he is ready to go again. Cena’s strategy is ‘Never Give Up’. Cena tells Paul to tell Brock he will see him at Night of Champions.
Paul laughs and he asks if it is him or can John not help being ‘John Cena’. With all due respect, ‘that’ is your biggest problem. You live to be John Cena. You live for the kid that waits and waits and waits for that opportunity to come to a live event or to come to Baltimore to chant at the top of their lungs ‘Let’s Go Cena’.
When Brock stands in the ring. He doesn’t hear anyone but three people. The referee who can disqualify him, Paul Heyman, who strategizes for him, and Brock’s opponents who suffer at his hands.
Paul has a gift and it isn’t even Chanukkah. Paul tells John to give in to temptation. John comes out and people chant ‘Cena Sucks’. Paul says that it gets to John. It is one thing when someone of his stature and credentials to say it, but what about that fat and ugly unemployed guy in the sixth row. Don’t you want to go for that hatred and contempt you have in your soul to tell that person to shut up.
That will make it so much easier.
Paul tells John to tell them to Shut Up. Show them how much it gets on your case.
Paul goes Old School Cena and he does a rap and mentions the Baltimore Ravens.
Paul tells John to give in one time. The devil already sold his soul to Paul a long time ago. Lose the wrist bands and the t-shirts. Lose the idea of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. When you can dig deep into your soul, you can be the one who beat the one in twenty-one and one. Or John can be one of many victims who fell at the hands of the Conqueror Brock Lesnar.
Paul says that his client doesn’t mind him telling John. Paul tells John that he believes in him. His client . . . Brock Lesnar . . . says that John just doesn’t have it in him.
Cena sits in the ropes and he looks like he is going to tell someone to shut up but he returns to the ring and he tells Paul Heyman to Shut up. He tells Paul that he sees what he is trying to do. They are trying to end John Cena and have him turn his back on everyone who believed in him. That will not happen.
John tells Paul in his world, it is easy. To pop Paul? To pop the dude in the second row? To pop the dudes in the wifebeaters? So they can go on the internet to talk about getting to Cena?
Paul lives in a world of Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat. Paul would turn on Lesnar if given the proper opportunity. John says that Paul does not know about living with a purpose or being. For Cena it is about Being John Cena. That is who he is. He was born to be that and he loves that. He wouldn’t change that, even if he could.
Some people don’t see the forest through the trees. He likes getting the kid to get his homework done early to come to Raw with his dad. He does not care if he is the guy who says that Cena sucks and then tells John he might not like him, but he is doing right by his kid. John says that he loves it when there is a kid who only has one wish and he wants to hang out with John Cena. John says that he is damn proud to be the guy who is fortunate enough to meet with wounded soldiers and that person is a hero of his. John says that these people thank him for giving him the strength to continue.
John asks Paul if he strips it away, what does he win? John says that he is done talking and it is time to fight. He can pound Paul’s pudgy face into clay. Then the headline reads John Cena beats up defenseless Paul Heyman. John tells Paul next week, he is showing up to fight so bring your client. If he decides to show up, they will get in the ring and they will fight. If Brock decides to take another week off, continue his vacation, and let Paul continue to do his business, John will fight Paul. He tells Paul to have a nice week and he will see Paul next Monday.

John Cena loses at SummerSlam and one week later he is ready to go again. Cena’s strategy is ‘Never Give Up’. Cena tells Paul to tell Brock he will see him at Night of Champions.
Paul laughs and he asks if it is him or can John not help being ‘John Cena’. With all due respect, ‘that’ is your biggest problem. You live to be John Cena. You live for the kid that waits and waits and waits for that opportunity to come to a live event or to come to Baltimore to chant at the top of their lungs ‘Let’s Go Cena’.
When Brock stands in the ring. He doesn’t hear anyone but three people. The referee who can disqualify him, Paul Heyman, who strategizes for him, and Brock’s opponents who suffer at his hands.
Paul has a gift and it isn’t even Chanukkah. Paul tells John to give in to temptation. John comes out and people chant ‘Cena Sucks’. Paul says that it gets to John. It is one thing when someone of his stature and credentials to say it, but what about that fat and ugly unemployed guy in the sixth row. Don’t you want to go for that hatred and contempt you have in your soul to tell that person to shut up.
That will make it so much easier.
Paul tells John to tell them to Shut Up. Show them how much it gets on your case.
Paul goes Old School Cena and he does a rap and mentions the Baltimore Ravens.
Paul tells John to give in one time. The devil already sold his soul to Paul a long time ago. Lose the wrist bands and the t-shirts. Lose the idea of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. When you can dig deep into your soul, you can be the one who beat the one in twenty-one and one. Or John can be one of many victims who fell at the hands of the Conqueror Brock Lesnar.
Paul says that his client doesn’t mind him telling John. Paul tells John that he believes in him. His client . . . Brock Lesnar . . . says that John just doesn’t have it in him.
Cena sits in the ropes and he looks like he is going to tell someone to shut up but he returns to the ring and he tells Paul Heyman to Shut up. He tells Paul that he sees what he is trying to do. They are trying to end John Cena and have him turn his back on everyone who believed in him. That will not happen.
John tells Paul in his world, it is easy. To pop Paul? To pop the dude in the second row? To pop the dudes in the wifebeaters? So they can go on the internet to talk about getting to Cena?
Paul lives in a world of Eat, Sleep, Conquer, Repeat. Paul would turn on Lesnar if given the proper opportunity. John says that Paul does not know about living with a purpose or being. For Cena it is about Being John Cena. That is who he is. He was born to be that and he loves that. He wouldn’t change that, even if he could.
Some people don’t see the forest through the trees. He likes getting the kid to get his homework done early to come to Raw with his dad. He does not care if he is the guy who says that Cena sucks and then tells John he might not like him, but he is doing right by his kid. John says that he loves it when there is a kid who only has one wish and he wants to hang out with John Cena. John says that he is damn proud to be the guy who is fortunate enough to meet with wounded soldiers and that person is a hero of his. John says that these people thank him for giving him the strength to continue.
John asks Paul if he strips it away, what does he win? John says that he is done talking and it is time to fight. He can pound Paul’s pudgy face into clay. Then the headline reads John Cena beats up defenseless Paul Heyman. John tells Paul next week, he is showing up to fight so bring your client. If he decides to show up, they will get in the ring and they will fight. If Brock decides to take another week off, continue his vacation, and let Paul continue to do his business, John will fight Paul. He tells Paul to have a nice week and he will see Paul next Monday.
