SmackDown opens with clips from the Cody Rhodes -vs- John Cena match where Brock Lesnar makes his return and takes out Cena after his match.
In the arena, John Cena makes his way out to the ring. Let's go to work. Cena is beside himself with the reception Montreal is giving him. Cena says in the past WWE was afraid to bring their show to Montreal fearing the audience would take over the show but he's never been afraid because the audience is the show. Cena talks about the noise and energy in the building. Cena encourages the audience to sing and says that some performers are afraid of that is well. He says even when he's afraid he embraces that fear and enjoys every second and that's what the audience has taught him. Cena says he has eleven days left and it's finally hitting him and every single day as time goes by he gets more and more afraid and he wants to get this off his chest. He's afraid he's afraid he's going to let everyone down on his way out and he is afraid that he'll be forgotten after he leaves. He says he has a lot of fears in his mind, he's even afraid of Brock Lesnar. He says in no universe would he choose Brock Lesnar as a challenger - but he's never been known to back down from a Brock Lesnar challenge. He says Lesnar just got him a Cena problem and when he wants some, to come get some. He says this isn't just for Lesnar, anyone who wants to challenge him - the last time is now, and if you want some, come get some. Logan Paul's music hits and Paul comes out asks Cena what is going on, as all this is making him sick. He says this new Cena he doesn't know and Paul has no lost respect for Cena. Cena tells Paul he may have just made the biggest mistake of his life. Paul says Cena doesn't know who he is anymore and that Paul has been real since day one. Paul talks about how Cena said that Paul WWE better than any prowrestler. Cena says he did say that, but he also is saying that Paul is the biggest dumbass he's ever seen. Paul ask why Cena is giving out matches and if he's giving them out he wants a match against Cena. Cena tells Paul to be careful what you wish for. Paul challenges Cena at Clash in Paris. Drew McIntyre comes from behind and attacks Cena. Cena is getting double teamed and Cody Rhodes runs out to even the odds. Rhodes takes out McIntyre and Cena goes for Paul and Paul and McIntyre are knocked out of the ring. Cena accepts Paul's challenge and suggests they still fight tonight in a tag match.
