"You better smarten up to the fact that The Authority always wins!"

John Cena: "Lot of excitement here, how about that? [Jubel] You guys acted likeyou're rasin' some sort of championship banner here tomorrow. Congratulations on that by the way. [‘Go Spurs Go'-Chants] Indeed, go Spurs go. [Jubel] Congratulations on hopefully an epic night tomorrow night. Last night was also an epic night. It might have been the last chapter in John Cena vs. Randy Orton but it was certainly one of the best. Two men last night went through hell for an opportunity. A single opportunity to face ‘The Beast'. An opportunity to be the best. Last night at Hell In A Cell I defeated Randy Orton and I have earned the opportunity to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE Championship. Now well, Brock Lesnar sits at home, thinking he's a champion. I am here every night fighting like a champion and whatever it is that Brock Lesnar decides to come back to the WWE, he's gonna realize one thing. Next time he stands in the ring with me, he will lose! So until then every single thing that I do is going to be a statement to Brock Lesnar, just like last night. Go through hell against the 12-time champion and a future Hall of Famer and survived? Check! Tonight, right here in San Antonio, Texas [Lauter Jubel], a city of champions, gets a main event worthy of San Antonio. The Authority's standard bearer, Mr. Money in the Bank [Buhrufe], the self-proclaimed future of the WWE, gets a first class wake up call. Because if Seth Rollins is the future of the WWE, well, the future ain't tomorrow, the future ain't next month and the future ain't next year. I have often said, the future goes through me. Tonight, I go through the future because Seth Rollins is about to go face-to-face with the man who runs this place—"

[Stephanie McMahon kommt zum Ring]

Stephanie McMahon: "First of all John, I would like to congratulate you on your victory last night [Buhrufe] and I must say, I can't wait for tonight's main event as you so adequately mentioned against standard bearer of the WWE, Seth Rollins. But I also can't wait for Survivor Series were we will see a Traditional Tag Team Elimination Match for the low-low price on the WWE Network of—"

[Die Fans chanten ‘9.99 ($)']

John Cena: "I got this. 9.99 ($)!"

Stephanie McMahon: "But John, I actually—well, I have a business proposition for you. You work so hard [‘What?'], you work so hard to win these people over, you have to pander to them, ‘Go spurs Go', why? [Jubel] To get them to cheer you? I mean, God, you don't have to do this, John. [‘Go Spurs Go'-Chants]. Your mantra, even I can do it. It's so easy. You know, you're just telling them what they wanna hear and they repeated it back—"

John Cena: "No, no, no, no, sorry Steph, I'm just listening to the people. Something you might wanna think about doing." [Jubel]

Stephanie McMahon: "So John, let me ask you. You listen to these people so you hear them chanting ‘Cena sucks'? You hear that? Because I sure do. And my point is not to upset you, I don't wanna offend you, John. My point is to try to talk you into doing what is best for business. [‘Cena'-Chants] Oh yeah, that's so moving to you, right? One arena chants your name and that's gonna move you after the years and years and years of them chanting against you. You know, I'm sorry but these people don't matter, okay? [Buhrufe] What they care about is seeing you on the mat, they care about seeing you tear yourself apart, leave it all on the line. They care about seeing blood and guts and people tearing each other apart. Something that you do every single night, you leave it all out here and why? For their appreciation? It doesn't be this hard, John. You could join The Authority [Buhrufe]. I know this sounds crazy but you could come to a place where you are loved and appreciated and above all respected. We care about what you do. [‘NO'-Chants] I mean, think about it, John. You are going to face Brock Lesnar for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a man who is handily beat you time and time again and not only beat you but beat you up, left you laying, left that corpus laying to that people's cheers. But I think maybe The Authority could offer a little bit of insurance. Maybe we could help guarantee a victory. Just think about it. I mean, even, John, even tonight your match against Seth Rollins, the winner of that match can be the captain of Team Authority. We can give you the power that you so desperately deserve. You deserve the respect, you deserve the accolades, you deserve to be part of a family."

John Cena: "Steph, you wanna know what I deserve? All I deserve is a chance to down that ramp, step in this ring every night and tell all these people how much I love doing this. This is what you got this whole thing upside down [Jubel]. No, no, no, no, no. You say here you wanna try tell me that these people are here for me to see me laying, to see me left broken and busted, no no. We show up every Monday night, we show up to WWE Live all the time, we are all part of this [Jubel]. Do you hear that? Do you hear that? You tell me that they are not a part of Monday Night Raw. They are not here for me, I am here for all of them! [Lauter Jubel] And you're asking me to turn my back on them?"

Stephanie McMahon: "Yes"

John Cena: "And you're asking me to sell out and join The Authority so I can be your glorified Team captain?"

Stephanie McMahon: "I'm asking you to ensure your legacy. I'm asking you to join The Authority and to be a part of something bigger for the rest of your life because when you lose, when you're set gone, these people won't care. They're not gonna chant your name, they won't even remember John Cena. But we can make sure they do."

John Cena: "Yeah, yeah, they will remember John Cena. They will remember John Cena as a low-light sell out punk and that is something that will never happen and something I never will be, so here's your answer right now. HELL NO!" [Jubel]

[Triple H kommt dazu]

Triple H: "Told you. We're not gonna move him a budge, an inch, not even a little bit. Didn't make it crack, right? You're gonna stand out here and play the hero, tell all these people here for you, ‘we are all in this together, yeeeeah, woooooah'. Big old hero. Here's the thing, John. You've been here how long? What, ten, twelve years now? I've been here 20 and it gets harder every single year. And you, you started to eke by every single night. You're hanging on by a threat, physically certain with them, mentally your hanging on by a threat because you know what I know, John, and that is you can't fight the future. The future is coming wether you wanna believe it or not and it doesn't have to be as hard as it is for you right now and it doesn't have to be as hard as it is going to get. This business is about longevity. It's about doing the right thing over time or you can just be the beat-up, old shell of yourself that hobbles to the ring and comes in for one last hurrah. But that doesn't seem to suit you, John. ‘Cause I know in here [hält seinen Finger gegen seinen Kopf] you're smart. You got a ton of heart but this is where it really counts for you and maybe I've got a prove to you. Maybe this kind of conversation isn't where it's at for you. Maybe I just got to prove it to you that you cannot, you cannot stop the future. So have it your way, John. Work against The Authority. At Survivor Series we'll make an example out of you. We will have Team Authority. John, you walk back there and feel free, feel free to find somebody with your guts, with your gumption that will stand up against the system like you do to ensure your future. Find someone that will stand up with you to see if they can survive against The Authority because at Survivor Series, Team Authority will face John Cena's team. And Team Cena will be whoever you can find in that locker room to support you, John. And here's the thing, you cannot fight the future. The future will run through you whether that is tonight or whether that is at Survivor Series. Because we control the future, John. The Authority is the future and whether you like it or not, you better smarten up to the fact that The Authority always wins!"
