John Cena & CM Punk’s Final Words Before WWE Night Of Champions

It’s main event (segment) time!

We are back and John Cena makes his way to the ring.

John tells Riyadh to get used to this because this is what a winner looks like. He is a winner and CM Punk is a loser. He has been outcornered and outmanuevered. Punk is out of tricks. Night of Champions is a formality and there is nothing he can do about it.

Some classic John Cena music plays and CM Punk makes his way to the ring dressed in a Cubs shirt and the jorts. Punk says this is basic Punkanomics. This clow plagarized his Pipe Bomb so he is stealing Word Life. You had to steal his best promo to show that you move in slow mo?

Remember when you used to rap? You deserved the ridicule. You are Temu Macklamore. Cena buried more talent than the Undertaker. That is why Cena is the champ and he lost his respect. I would retire too if this company rehired your ex. He says if John didn’t take his vitamins, saye his prayers, and get his hair plugged he would be a Boston mall cop.

He says Cena gets good roles but we see Batista is more. When it comes to best in the world, he is your vessel because they chant his name. At you they chant You Can’t Wrestle.In six months Cena will be gone, but Punk will still be here. Cena won’t have time for you because he will be cleaning underwear for James Gunn.

You are with DC, but you will always be the Marine to him. Punk says it is a hell of a catchphrase but now we see you and we see a washed up you. Punk says he dropped the pipe bomb 14 years ago and he calls Cena a phony, a fraud, and an ass kiss. You are a 17 time champ but you have never been on his level.

There is just one more wish to make. You are going to lose to Kendrick because you are his Drake. Punk drops the mic and poses on the barricades as Cena looks on and the show goes off the air. That’s how the WWE Night of Champions “go-home” episode of SmackDown in Saudi Arabia goes off the air. Thanks for joining us!
