It is time for the Grayson Waller Effect with Grayson Waller, featuring Grayson Waller.

Waller says he has had some great guests on his show.   People who think they are the GOAT and that moniker only applies to one person, his guest tonight.  While his guest has accomplished so much, his star is fading quicker than his hairline.  Waller says his rise back to the top starts with the Grayson Waller Rub.   Waller brings out John Cena.

Waller says this is like a dream and it must be an honor for John to be on the Grayson Waller Effect.  Waller says when he talks to grownups he takes off his hat.  Waller says he watched Payback and he says that Cena needs help as a host.  You were stealing the spotlight.  You need to be like Grayson Waller.  Sit back and let the stars shine.  

Waller says John couldn't help yourself.  You had to make it about you.  You got back in the ring, not as a competitor, but as a special guest referee.  Then you have the audacity to lie to these people.  He says John doesn't want to be an in ring competitor any more.  There is no doubt that you are the greatest of all time, but there is no doubt that you aren't close to being the greatest now.  You haven't been the same since his boy Austin Theory, who just whipped the Rock, beat you at Wrestlemania.

John takes off his shirt and Waller tells John it is his time to speak.

John is interrupted by Jimmy Uso's music.

John gives Waller credit for this as Jimmy and John stand across from each other in the ring.

John starts to talk but Jimmy takes the mic.  Jimmy says Waller has a point.  Nobody wants you here John.  Jimmy says everyone came to see him.  Jimmy says they love John but he came out to tell Jimmy to his face if he tries to embarrass him again like he did two weeks ago, do it or get out of the ring.

Solo Sikoa's music plays and he comes to the ring with Paul Heyman.

Solo walks up to John and Jimmy acts cocky and then Solo grabs Jimmy and sets for the Samoan Spike but hits Cena with a super kick instead.

Jimmy wants some love from Solo but Solo ignores him and he punches and kicks Cena.

AJ Styles comes out and he goes after Jimmy.  Cena punches Solo and sends him to the floor.  AJ with a punch to Jimmy and Cena with the Five Knuckle Shuffle.

Cena gets Jimmy up for an Attitude Adjustment but Solo pulls Jimmy to the floor.

We go to credits.
