He says that Roman Reigns knows he does not want to fight him, and he signs the contract. Roman shows up, and says Cena is not as big of a deal as he thinks he is. He does not care what Cena does to him, because unlike him, he retired The Undertaker. He says that he does not need to fight Cena. Cena says he is a polarizing figure, while the fans go back and forth with him that he is viewed by the fans as a bootleg John Cena. He says that Roman is just "a guy," and that he himself is the hungriest that he has ever been in years. He says that if Roman signs the contract for their match at No Mercy right now, then his Roman Empire might crumble. Roman says Cena is putting a spin on things, and says the crowd boos him because he sucks and because the crowd can see right through him, recognizinig him as a phony and a yes man who can learn to do or be anything, and goes so far as to call him "a part-timin' fake-ass bitch." Roman says he will be damned if he busts his ass on the weekend so Cena can hang out on The Today show, and that Cena will do anything to stay on top, even if that means burying as much young talent as he can. He then says he is the one guy in the WWE that Cena can't bury or see, and asks why he would lessen himself or his bloodline to become another Cena when he can be the one and only Roman Reigns. Cena says that Roman has used the same pathetic excuse as everyone else before him has. He congratulates Roman on "a halfway decent promo," then says the crowd will always have the keys. He says that he has not main evented WrestleMania in five years, and when he won the United States Championship, he used it as an opportunity to introduce new starts while Roman Reigns viewed the title as a demotion after his Wellness Policy violation. He then says that he is still here because Roman cannot do his job. Cena says there is one rule in this yard: step up or step aside. He says that obody has ever been able to keep up, and thought Roman was the one who would be able to keep up until just now. He then says that he can do whatever Roman is doing better as a part-timer than Roman ever will as a full-timer. Roman signs the contract, then violently pushes the table to the side. Suddenly, Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) show up, and say that Cena and Roman are not good brothers.

When it was time to come back in, he was able to re-focus on himself, but when it came to the match with KUSHIDA, Bullet Club showed up and attacked him.

General Manager Kurt Angle shows up. He says he promised us a surprise tonight, and now we get it. For the first time in over a year, John Cena appears on Raw. After a huge reaction from the crowd, he talks about Kurt Angle asked him if he would like to come to Raw. He immediately said yes, not because SmackDown Live is bad, but because for a long time, he has wanted to stand in the ring on Raw and be face-to-face with a certain WWE Superstar. That Superstars ends up being Roman Reigns. Cena says Roman is exactly who he is looking for, but Roman says Cena is only looking for him when he is running his mouth on Twitter. Now that Cena is in his yard, he wants to know if Cena will run his mouth to his face. Cena says the crowd is holding a grudge, but says he didn't come here to talk. As soon as he tosses his shirt into the crowd, The Miztourage (The Miz, Maryse, Bo Dallas, Curtis Axel) shows up. Miz mocks this meeting between Cena and Roman, and wonders how many moments these two guys get. He says he is tired of waiting for his moment while the two of them get moments week after week. He says that Angle seems to think Raw needs an addition while he rides the pine at SummerSlam. He asks if Raw needs Cena, and the crowd says no. Cena jokingly leaves, and The Miz stops him. He says Raw is his show, and Miz also yells at the crowd for not knowing whether to cheer or boo Cena or Roman, while he has been waiting for his big main event moment (not counting WrestleMania 27) for 12 long years, and asks where his moment is. Cena challenges Miz and a Miztourage member to a tag team match against him and Roman, but Miz says that is a moment for Cena, not for him. Suddenly, Samoa Joe shows up, and says he has a strong poinion about the situation. He says he is teaming with The Miz as he sick and tired of Roman Reigns saying this is his yard, then punches John Cena. This leads to a brawl where Joe attacks Cena and Roman fights the Miztourage, and as Joe gets the Coaquina Clutch on Cena, Roman hits Joe with the Superman Punch to take him out.

Dean says he thought this would never happen, and Seth says this feels like old times and says he didn't think so either. After three years, tonight is a party, and the crowd is invited. Dean says Sheamus and Cesaro will want their rematch, but they will take on anybody, anytime, anywhere. The Hardys (Jeff and Matt Hardy) show up. Jeff says they are here to congratulate them. Matt says that brothers sometimes fight, but when they get together, it is a beautiful thing. Not surprisingly, the Hardys want to challenge Dean and Seth to a match. Seth says he and Dean grew up idolizing The Hardys. Matt says he and his brothers have revolutionized the tag division, and they plan to do it again here in Brooklyn, New York. Seth simply replies with "Let's do the damn ting!" A ref shows up, and a match begins.

He then tells Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel to remain a constant presence on the outside and tells The Miz to do whatever it is he does in the ring.

Sasha Banks shows up. She says she may be from Boston, but for the last three years she has left her heart in Brooklyn, New York. She says that everyone is praying for "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, as the world needs him. She then says the world does not need a wanna-be goddess, and that there is only one legit boss. Sasha says she will defend the Raw Women's itle the right way, saying she doesn't need to weasel out of a match or have Nia Jax to have her back. Suddenly, Alexa Bliss shows up. She says that every time Sasha has defended the title, she lost. Sasha reminds Alexa that every time she has faced her, she either lost or tapped out, and dares her to use her rematch clause right now. Alexa says no, as she is not in the mood to get in the ring at all, and says she will do it next week and prove Sasha to be "a legit loser."

Before the next match, Enzo Amore says Big Cass is a bad boy, but says it was Brooklyn, New York's own Lil' Kim who said that money, power and respect is what you need in life. The only time he gets all three of these things is when the microphone is in his hands, and says the difference between him and everyone else is that he has played the cards he was dealt, but he had the balls to tattoo a microphone on it. He says everyone's better off if he was locked up on Riker's Island instead of the shark cage. He also says that Big Cass should be glad this is a shark cage and not a shark tank.
