Your announcers are Joe Tessitore and Corey Graves.
We take a look at what happened last week with the Usos and LA Knight.
Knight pushes Jey as he enters the arena with Jimmy.
Adam Pearce wants to talk to both of them in his office.
John Cena makes his way to the ring.
John says tonight is an incredible night. He says he gets to come back to Raw and do it in Springfield. He says there is a lot of noise and energy. The young fans might not know that he played football at Springfield College. John says he was an offensive lineman. You never get your name in the paper, you get your ass kicked every game, and you come back to get your ass kicked the next day. He says Springfield College prepared him for WWE. He says he has some teammates in the crowd. He says his family is here. He says he has a niece who couldn't make it, but he will see her this weekend and he wishes her a happy birthday. John thanks Alicia for his introduction. He says it has evolved into a chance for all of you to show your energy and share a final moment.
John says he needs that moment because he has a pretty tall hill to climb. There are some words you said in the introduction that meant something to him. You say 'the last real Champion'. Brock wants to end him. Brock is intimidating and controversial. He is damn near invincible. He says tonight he is going to talk to Brock. Upon his return to WWE, he makes a target out of him, attacks him, and challenges him to a match. Cena says he has had matches with Brock before. They are some of the toughest challenges he has faced. Why would he not say no after what Brock did to him? If he says no, he can keep his health. He can lean into some backstage politics and say he has been here for 23 years so do him a favor. Saying no might be smart since he only has six more appearances. Saying no is safe. Saying no is easy.
He says yes because of the crowd and he says he is the last real champion. He has never fought one battle in the back. He does it in front of this audience. The last real champion is not about wearing a belt or being in the main event or being on top. It is about making the place better when he leaves it. This is a chance to make magic so you give all that you have. Is John afraid of Brock Lesnar? Yes he is. Could he fail? Yes, he could. Will he back down and give up? Hell no. We will take the fight to the beast because that is what we do. Listen to the energy. Saturday, in a history making event, The Beast against The Last Real Champion. It is a final showdown of two generational titans. He doesn't give a damn how many suplexes are in your city because he has been taking them for twenty years and he is still here.
He tells Brock he is ready for war and if you want some, come get some.
Pearce is with Jey and Knight in OFFICE. Pearce wants it to make sense.
Knight does not care what Jey is doing on Saturday.
They talk at the same time and Adam stops them. He says this week cannot get messed up, so he wants to know what is happening.

Pearce says it is done but who is he teaming with?
Knight says Jimmy Uso.
Jey says that isn't happening and Knight says he wants it.
