John Cena makes his way to the ring.
We see footage from the end of the six man tag match on Raw when Roman Reigns AND Seth Rollins broke up the cover by Langston to cause a disqualification.
John says that we just saw Big E Langston, CM Punk, and him laying waste to the Shield. There were people wearing Santa hats. Tonight is more important because tonight is the last Smackdown of 2013. This audience will help the WWE Universe ring in the new year. He wants excitement and noise.
He says that we need to have fun because once the new year comes, the fun is over because of New Year’s Resolutions. John says that he wants to give a bear hug to a real bear. He wants to star in a 1-800-FELLA commercial. He wants to get the lead in the musical of No Holds Barred. He wants to do a hip hop album with the Great Khali. He wants to get the reboot of Manimal off the ground with Michael Cole doing the voice for Doctor Jonathan Chase. He also wants to get an early start on drafting his XFL Fantasy Team. John wants to gain 40 pounds.
John says that he can do that tonight because the weight of the WWE Championship Belt is about 40 pounds. Since John has a rematch, maybe Randy Orton is in the back listening to everyone. Maybe Randy will walk down the aisle and ring in the new year with Randy Orton versus John Cena for the WWE World Championship.
Instead of Randy Orton, the music for The Shield plays and they make their way down the aisle. They surround the ring. Cena tries to fight them off, but the numbers are too great and they work over Cena until . . .
Mark Henry’s music plays and Mark runs to the ring and he takes care of Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose. Eventually, the Shield get Henry to the ground and they work him over until . . .
Big E Langston’s music plays and Langston goes after Reigns and sends him to the floor. Cena sends Ambrose to the floor. Henry sends Rollins to the floor.
Kane makes his way to the stage and he has something to say. As the Director of Operations, it is obvious to him that everyone has some issues to work out before the end of the year. The Shield will be in three singles matches. Dean Ambrose will face Big E Langston. Mark Henry will face Roman Reigns. Seth Rollins will face John Cena.
Kane signals that his comments are over by summoning fire from the ring posts.
