John Cena makes his way to the ring. The new RAW commentary team of Michael Cole, JBL, and Booker T welcome us to the show. Cena gets in the ring and listens to the mixed reaction he’s getting. Cena mentions that they’re really riled up in New Orleans. It’s good to be back in the city that hosted WrestleMania XXX. Bourbon Street is all about having a good time and acting like a fool. This isn’t like last week, even though The Authority is back in power. Cena can’t believe that he works for two people who got their jobs back not by working hard but because their whipping boy scumbag hold a Hall of Famer hostage and expected him to gamble with his life. Cena made the choice, but he’d do it again because it’s the right thing to do.
What upsets him is a guy like Triple H, a 13-time champion and automatic Hall of Famer, will only be remembered as a slimy, backstabbing sociopath whose only goal is to make everyone’s lives miserable. The Authority that claims to listen to the WWE Universe fired Ryback, Erick Rowan, and Dolph Ziggler. Cena hopes The Authority is listening because he has a question for the crowd. Cena asks if the crowd likes Dolph Ziggler, and that gets a good reaction. Cena asks if any of the men deserved to get fired, and the crowd shouts, “No!” Cena asks if they want to see those three men back tonight, and a “YES!” chant breaks out. Cena also wants to address the world, and he tells them to go on Twitter and put “#AuthoritySucks.” If they can’t hear and see the crowd, then The Authority is just deaf, blind, and stupid.
Cena knows The Authority just might be deaf, blind, and stupid, so he has a Plan B. In two weeks at the Royal Rumble, he’ll face Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. His plan is simple. He’s going to win. He’s showing up hell bent for leather and leaving as the WWE Champion. When the Royal Rumble is over, the very second he stands proudly in the ring and shouts, “The Champ is here,” is the very moment he says, “You can’t see me,” because he’s going to take the championship and go home. He’ll then wait until The Authority gives those superstars their jobs back or this show’s most coveted prize is going to be sitting at home. What will that do to The Authority’s reputation, Monday Night RAW, and Smackdown?
The Authority’s music hits, and Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way to the ring. The crowd boos them as they stand in the ring. Stephanie asks if Cena is listening to himself. She’s sure if she’s Erick Rowan, Ryback, and Dolph Ziggler, who are sitting at home because of Cena, they’ll be happy to watch the Royal Rumble and see him win the title before taking his ball and going home. She’s sure the people want him to turn his back on them like he did to his teammates. What a noble sacrifice Cena is willing to make. Triple H expected a lot more from Cena than this. The plan is to take his ball and go home. Cena knew the consequences going into this. Cena knew the stipulations. Triple H was clear that he thought what Cena was doing was a mutiny. He said that anyone who joined with him would be fired. Cena convinced them to do it anyway knowing they would lose their jobs. Then Cena won, and The Authority was out of power. Did they come out and cry about it? No, they walked away with their heads held high. They looked for a way back in, and they found it because The Authority always wins. Stephanie says they were able to win because Seth Rollins was able to use him by exploiting his weakness. At the end of the day, Cena is selfish. Cena always has to be the star of the show, even when he had to be the “hero” to save Edge and bring back The Authority at the expense of the men who put their livelihoods on the line, his teammates.
Triple H says they’ll give Cena the opportunity to be the hero again. Truth be told, they didn’t want to fire those guys last week. They hated doing it. Cena says they talked about it for a few seconds and fired them on live television. Triple H says they did it because they keep their promises, unlike Cena. They’ll put it out to the WWE Universe. Do they want to see Erick Rowan, Ryback, and Dolph Ziggler get their jobs back and be here in the WWE? The crowd responds positively. The question is how much does Cena want them back. Triple H will give him the opportunity to be the hero. All Cena has to do to get them their jobs back is win his match tonight. Cena asks what kind of match it is – a 10-on-1 handicap match? Triple H says it won’t be something as unoriginal as that. If Cena wins, all three men will get their jobs back. If he loses, he’ll crush people’s dreams, which he does best. It’s a simple one-on-one match-up between Cena and the man who used him, Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins. Due to the magnitude of the match, they’ll turn it into a Lumberjack Match to make sure it doesn’t get out of control. They’re going to bring out the lumberjacks because the match takes place right now.
The lumberjacks include Big Show, Kane, Bad News Barrett, Cesaro, Titus O’Neil, Curtis Axel, Tyson Kidd, Fandango, and Justin Gabriel. Cena will face Seth Rollins, next.
