"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event?"

-Live from Orlando, Florida.

-Cole and King are our hosts.

-Cole says that last night was emotional, and that Randy Orton retained his title, and due to Cena's actions, he was fired.

-Wade Barrett and NEXUS make their way to the ring. After asking for some proper behavior, the crowd hates them, Barrett says that last night John Cena looked him in the eyes and he fired him. Cena said he knew what he was doing, and that means that Cena was willing to sacrifice his career to do what was the right thing. And that he went into last night's match without a fighting chance, because Cena decided that Barrett would lose and not win the title. He was a biased official, and that was not fair. In the history of the WWE, an official has never been allowed to touch the competitors, but Cena did that and cost him the title. An injustice should not be cheered, and this was unfair and unprofessional. He is out here now, in the name of justice, he wants another shot at Randy Orton. With a neutral referee, to prove that he can win the title. The GM chimes in, Cole up to read, and says that there is some validity to what Barrett has to say, and that Orton would like to prove himself as well. Therefore, the title will be defended when Orton defends against Barrett, TONIGHT. Barrett and NEXUS are happy with this announcement, and he thanks the GM. Barrett says he has allowed Cena to appear here tonight, he enjoyed firing him, but as a competitor, and gentleman, he felt that he owed it to Cena to allow him to say goodbye. He will enjoy those words, almost as much as he will enjoy winning the title. Thank you very much.

-Cole reminds us that Cena will be here, thanks, we just heard that.

-King of the Ring returns next week on the three-hour Raw.

-Cole has an announcement to make. He welcomes the newest Raw commentator, CM PUNK!

-Cole and Punk hug.

-John Cena is announced and makes his way to the ring. Cena says if he has to go out, this is how he wants to go out. Just in case you have been missing things, Orton is still champion, and that means he is fired. This was something he didn't think would happen, but forget about it. Before WWE, he lived in a car and cleaned toilets, he never thought any of this was possible. Over the years they have gotten to know him. You only see me on TV, but outside of here, they don't fully know him. They have no idea how much he respects the company. Not just the company today, but every person that has allowed him to be here. Like HHH, Steve Austin, HBK, Undertaker, when he got a chance, titles were one things, but he wanted to be able to look them in the eyes and for them to accept him. He is here with a smile, and he danced in the ring with hall of famers, traveled the world and lived out a fantasy. He will not let NEXUS ruin the last nine years of his life. One thing is that life moves fats in WWE, and it was a big part of his life, and then WWE became his life. He wanted to give his all when he performed, and he sacrificed. His family has been patient with him, and they let him be him. His brother just had a kid, and he missed it. His mom's birthday is in a few days, and he will leave here and go home, and will go see his niece, and his mom will get the best gift ever, because he will be there to hug her and tell her he loves her. He is about to tear up a bit it looks like. He feels like an idiot, and says what ever, one thing he loved about the fans is that they were honest. If he is leaving, he just wants to hear half cheer for him and half cheer against him. he wants all the ladies and kids to say let's go Cena, and every guy over 18 to say he sucks. He leads them in a chant, and they play along. He is pleased by this cheering. He then says that their passion keeps them coming back, and he know she earned the chants. To Wade Barrett, he feels he has talent, and says that he needs to take some advice from an ex-employee that may have peed in his coffee a few times, stop taking short cuts. Don't take the easy way out. These fans will give you everything if you give them everything. Karma is a b—h. And of you keep taking the short cuts, it will come back to haunt you. Kidman is about to strangle himself because he is over time, and he then thanks the WWE Universe. Thank you for letting him share his life for nine years, for understanding him, for standing up for WWE, showing up, watching all the shows, thank you for allowing idiots like him to follow his dream. Lets go home.
