After the match, Reigns offers his hand to Jordan and Jordan shakes it.

John Cena is asked in the back about Roman's win.  John says he does, but he will say it to Roman.

We are back and Roman is waiting in the corner for John Cena to show up.

John tells Roman this is not a night stick for your pants, it is a mic.  John says he is excited to hear what Roman has to say because last week Roman had issues with a rookie almost beating him and this week, the rookie almost beat The Guy.  John tells him to hold it to one sentence and say 'Because it is my yard' and 'Believe that'. 

Roman says he was having a great match, something John doesn't know about.  Roman says he has had more great matches in two years than John has in his whole career.

John says he doesn't have to stay sharp because he just needs to let Roman speak.  He says Roman has buried himself.  Roman has skill and ability, but his head is so far up his ass he is a one man human centipede.  You think you run this place and are responsible for all of this because nobody has cut you down to size.  That is why he is here.  You said a few weeks ago that he can spin anything.  John says he challenges himself to try everything.  You feel as if you have already made it.  The second you think you made it, it is the beginning of the end.  

John says that Roman is going to learn what real failure is all about because week after week after week, he comes out to give you a shot and you fail and fail and fail.  That is not what THE Guy does.  THE Guy steps up.  The Guy stays sharp and does his homework and that is something you should have done before dragging your sorry ass off.  If you are THE Guy, you will dust yourself off and prove yourself.  John says he does not see that in Roman.

Roman tells John to bring his bitch ass back in here as he goes to the apron.  Roman says another superstar comes out to call John Cena out to make a name for himself, but you came to Raw to call him out.  Roman says that maybe he is selling the tickets that John hasn't sold in years.  Roman says ticket sales are great and revenue is sky high.  He says that WWE does not need John and John needs WWE.  You need WWE because you can't break into Hollywood.  Roman says he knows a guy.  Roman tells John to spin it and do his big talk because it means nothing because you can't back it up.

John says when people push you over the line, you have to fight fire with fire.  John says he will put it in terms that you can understand.  He tells Roman to think of it as a drug test because you ain't getting past him.
