The Time is Now plays in the arena and John Cena makes his way out to the ring. Cena calls Mark Nash to the ring and makes him redo Cena's entrance like he made him do on RAW. After Nash does the introduction, The Real Last Champion gets ready to say something and Randy Orton's music hits and Orton makes his way out to see what Cena is up to. Orton gets in the ring and asks Cena if Cena knows what he found out and that it's been 25 years since the first time they shook hands. Orton says for 25 years he never changed and he's changed now. Orton says Cena has a void inside him that needs fulfillment. He tells Cena that kids looked up to him and granted more wishes for the kids so that has to mean something to him. He tells Cena that Cena needs to have kids and Cena will be back to who he is meant to be. Cena says how dare Orton come down here under the guise of cheering him up and then parent shaming him. He says the reason he doesn't have kids is because he's spent the last 25 years raising everyone else's kids. He says the real truth, he's been a better parent to all these kids than their parents were. A six year old flips him off and he says he's been policing brats like that for a quarter of a century. He tells the kid not to bring a knife to a gun fight and says that's probably something this kid's loser dad didn't teach him. Orton tells Cena the reason Cena is doing so well is because of the fans. Orton says he's made a lot of mistakes but he can still hold his head up high and still has respect from his peers and says he's here for life whereas Cena is just a guest. Cena says he used to believe that without the fans there is no WWE and he's the only one who has one as he hasn't needed any of these fans because they chant "Let's go Cena, Cena sucks" in the same sentence. This is why the fans mean nothing to him and Orton is just like the WWE fans... everyone's a hypocrite. Cena says it's funny he's an outcast because he's decided to put his energy somewhere else but when the fans bounce between superstars it's ok for them to put their energy in different places. He says this is a toxic relationship and he gets criticized and labelled as an outcast or guest for simply trying to do something different. Orton says he's stupid for thinking Cena would listen to Orton. Orton says wrestling provides for him and his family and that Cena won't ruin wrestling. Cena tells Orton to shut up and says he's already a 17 time champ and Orton is a 14 time champ and when Cena leaves with this title, Orton's number will stand still and his number will start over at one with new belt. He says he's going to erase three generations of Orton's family when he leaves with this belt. Orton wants to fight Cena right now for his belt and Cena says no. Cena says he's said no to save Orton's ass. Cena says there should be a match between them but not here and suggests it happens at Backlash. He tells Orton to make sure he's at his best because when Orton fails he'll have no excuses. Cena throws the title at Orton and then attacks him. Cena goes to smoke Orton with the belt but Orton dodges it and RKO's Cena. Orton grabs the belt and poses on the turnbuckles to end the segment.
