General Manager Kurt Angle is in the ring to moderate the contract signing between John Cena and Roman Reigns for their match at No Mercy. Cena shows up first, and says that everyone is ready for this match, saying that Roman Reigns is the big blue chipper while he and the crowd have been through a lot together. 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. They say that it is time to be a couple of good brothers and beat down some nerds. General Manager Kurt Angle makes this impromptu tag team match official.
John Cena and Roman Reigns beat Gallows & Anderson (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson).
Elias - who says that "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes called him "The Elvis of the WWE" - sings a song that bashes the Memphis, Tennessee crowd. Jerry "The King" Lawler stops Elias in his tracks, saying that his voice is not bad but that he does not relate to his audience, and says that the Memphis crowd does not appreciate his lyrics. Lawler then brings out someone who could give him some advice: "Impressive" Pelvis Welsey from Southpaw Regional Wrestling. As Wesley dances around, he gets kicked in the gut and clotheslined before being hit with Drift Away.
