Pelvis has a few moves but Elias is not impressed with the interception and lands a cheap shot on him and a clothesline, and then a Drift Away. Elias walks away from the ring, with Pelvis on the floor.

Elias is in the ring and is to debut a new song tonight. He seems to have got a new pair of sunglasses!

He calls himself 'The King' and says he has a song in mind and play a song, which, as usual, belittles the town the show is in, but Jerry "The King" Lawler, the hometown hero, interferes. Lawler says that Elias' song is not bad but has trouble relating to his audience.

Lawler introduces Southpaw Regional Wrestling's Pelvis Wesley, a parody of Elvis Pressley.

Cena says that Reigns should be ashamed that he's a part-timer and that he could never do it better as a full-timer. Cena points to the fans, who are cheering, and asks him to hear that.

Reigns signs the contract and then throws the table aside... The Club, Anderson and Gallows' music hits. The two say that they've not been good brothers, and calls them 'nerds'. Angle interrupts and announces a match-up - John Cena and Roman Reigns are to tag-team -- after their venomous segment -- and face off against The Club right now!

Cena says that he's done a lot to push young WWE Superstars, and tells Reigns that he took his US Title as a demotion and that he can't do his job properly.

Cena calls Reigns a fool, and says that he gives the same excuses that every other WWE Superstar has given previously. Cena asks Reigns to listen to the fans because it's they who makes someone a superstar.

Reigns also says that Cena will only make it to WWE events if he's paid much. He also says that Cena buries talent and will do anything to get to the top, and says that he can't bury him. Reigns says that he is the one guy in the WWE that John Cena cannot see!

He asks Cena why he has to try to be another John Cena when he can be the one-and-only Roman Reigns.

Reigns says that it blows his mind that people boo him not because he's a bad guy, but because he sucks. Reigns says they boo Cena because he's a phoney and calls Cena a 'fake bitch', and goes one further by saying he's a 'part-timing, fake-a** bitch'.

Cena says that if he fails to defeat him, his 'Roman Empire' will fall!

Cena says he's right that he doesn't need to fight him and calls him a polarising figure. Cena calls Reigns a 'cheap-ass, corporately created John Cena rip-off'. He says he's trying desperately to fill shoes that he can't fill.

Reigns stares menacingly at Cena and then looks at the contract before picking up the mic. Reigns asks Cena if he thinks he's scared to fight him, and tells him he's not 'as big of a deal as you think you are'.

Reigns says that Cena did something he'll never be able to do and says that he retired The Undertaker at Wrestlemania, and says he doesn't need to fight him.

Cena begins on the mic by saying that Cena vs Reigns is WrestleMania worthy but praises Kurt Angle for making this match. Cena says that Reigns has been protected like a 'blue-chip prospect' against anyone and everyone.

Cena says Reigns doesn't want to fight him, before Reigns makes his way to the ring.

Raw GM Kurt Angle is in the ring to make the match between Roman Reigns and John Cena at No Mercy is made official.
