"John Cena has never conquered me"

Chris Jericho: "For the past month, we've been treated to the heartwarming story of John Cena. So tonight, I'm gonna treat you to a much more impressive story, my story. And it begins in 2001, a full year and a half before John Cena even appeared in a WWE ring. When I achieved legendary status by accomplishing the unthinkable. [Bilder von Vengeance 2001 werden eingespielt] First of all, I beat one of the biggest stars in WWE history, The Rock, to become the WCW champion. And then, just a short twenty minutes later, I beat another of the biggest stars in WWE history. When I became the WWE champion and subsequently the very first Undisputed champion in the history of this business. It was a moment in time that has superseded anything John Cena has done, before or since. It was enough to cement any man's place in history, but it wasn't enough for me. No. I needed more.

So this past September at Unforgiven I accomplished what no man had ever accomplished and won the very first scramble match. [die folgenden angesprochenen Kämpfe werden mit Bildern unterlegt] In that match I beat four of the top RAW superstars. Kane, JBL, Rey Mysterio and Batista to become the world champion. It was a match I even wasn't supposed to be in, it was my second match of the night, but once again I achieved the extraordinary. And while John Cena was at home recuperating from a serious injury over the past several months, I have achieved greatness time and time again. I beat CM Punk in a cage match to retain my title. As I bashed him in the head with the door. And then two weeks later, just two short weeks, I beat Shawn Michaels in a match that he wasn't supposed to lose. A match that was once his but has now become synonymous with me. A ladder match. And then two weeks ago, in another grueling cage match I beat the Animal, Batista, to become the five time world champion.

I have won every conceivable match that's been put in front of me. I have beaten every top level superstar, I have attained more success than any champion in the history of this business. And yet, every bit of passion, every bit of hype, every bit of pomp and circumstance has been centered towards one man. John Cena. [ein Bild von ihm wird auf dem Titantron eingeblendet] Now Cena is being treated as a savior, as a conquering hero. But he has never conquered me. And every feel-good story, every fairy tale on RAW has ended the same way. From Batista to Punk to Michaels, the same result. Me holding the world championship high above my head. I am the best in the world today. I am at the top of my game and I refuse to allow John Cena to waltz his way into this ring and take what is mine. Take what I have worked so hard for. Because contrary to what you been told, contrary to what you believe, the centerpiece of RAW is not John Cena. The centerpiece is the World Heavyweight Champion and that is Chris Jericho. And at Survivor Series I will extinguish, I will eliminate, I will end the phenomenon that is John Cena. And then, and only then, will Monday Night RAW finally be saved."
