He says no one can just loose a fight and leave it at that. Last night Estrada went on WWE.com and said the win was a fluke. Cena says that’s bull because he got his ass kick last night. He learned why Umaga’s the Samoan Bulldozer. But he made it and is damn proud to say the champ is here. He doesn’t understand what Estrada means by fluke. One hit wonder fluke, can never beat Umaga again fluke? He doesn’t know what type of idiot he’s dealing with. But that might just be the concussion talking. He’s not sure he’s in any condition to be making title matches tonight. His debut was in St. Louis and he’s thinking he might just do it.
Coach comes out and says Cena’s brave, but he gave Umaga a very deserved night off.
Cena says he’s heard that one before. Does that mean he will show up in ten minutes, when he’s at his car, in the shower? Please make sure he doesn’t show up when he’s in the shower.
Coach says Umaga has the night off, but Cena doesn’t. It’s not a title match, but Cena has a match tonight. The good thing about new years is contracts end. He’s signed someone new. Coach starts talking size and announces The Great Khali.
Khali comes out to the ring with Coach. Khali and Cena start each other down, even through the height difference. Coach pulls Khali away and they back up the ramp together.

They did get the hell beat out of them at NYR. HBK jumped from the top turnbuckle to the table and drove his elbow through his chest and HHH gave Edge a pedigree through the other table. They lost tons of blood in the ring last night. After last night’s match every step has kept them in severe pain and suffering, but it was worth it. In the end, they won because HHH tore his quad and he’s finished. Rated RKO has done what no one else could do. That’s end DX. Huge ‘boos’ from the crowd.
Edge says last night wasn’t a wrestling match, it was a war. A lot of people talk big, but they back it up. Lets look at all who said they’d take out Dx and failed. Spirit Squad, Big Show - who left to ECW and then retired. Vince who had his head shoved up Big Show’s ass. And then Shane. Last night they did half the job. Next week there will be a handicap match against HBK. Next week they end HBK’s career. DX is on life support, next week they pull the plug. Next week DX will finally be dead.

He says he will be by HHH’s side. As for Randy and Edge, he will deal with them next week. His eyes stare almost through Rated RKO.
