WWE Smackdown Live Results (7/4) Phoenix, Arizona

WWE Signature

Fourth of July Intro

Welcome to Smackdown Live and we kick things off with the return everyone has been talking about. The free agent himself, John Cena. Cena says he can't be rattled tonight because he is fired up and we get a "Let's Go Cena/Cena Sucks" chant from the crowd

Cena says he is fired up because today is Independence Day and says America was built on an idea. A concept that anyone can come to America and achieve what they want and today is not only a day to have fun but to stand up and celebrate the american dream

He says everytime he steps into the ring he wants to compete with the best especially as of late because a lot of superstars are starting up rumours about his future saying he's gone all hollywood and a part timer

Cena says he is not a part timer. He's an all timer and the reason he is a free agent is because if he's nearing the end of his career he's going down in a blaze of glory. He drops a list of names and says line them up and he will knock them down and calls himself a man with nothing to lose. Today the franchise is back and the champ is here an dhe couldn't think of a better time because today is Independence Day.

Rusev makes his way out. Rusev says he works so hard in the same ring Cena's standing in where Rusev got hurt. Cena's out making movies and they're running commercials for two months about John Cena's return while he's at home working to make his way back. He sent messages to Daniel Bryan and Shane McMahon with no response so he's here tonight. Cena talks about opportunity but Cena will not take any opportunities away from Rusev. Cena's american dream is a lie just like America is a joke

Cena says they're not in bulgaria. They're in the USA. Cena then asks the crowd if America is a joke. Maybe it is but every joke has a punchline and tells Rusev to come down to the ring and he'll punch Rusev in the mouth. Rusev then continues to insult the WWE Universe. The crowd starts a "USA" chant.

Cena says to forgive Rusev he's been away for too long and had time to think which isn't always a good idea. They're not bossing anyone around it's just when Rusev bosses them around they're not afraid to stand and fight and challenges Rusev to a good old fashioned Flag Match

Rusev accepts but Cena isn't going to boss him around. They're going to fight on Rusev's time. Cena tells him to run away like a coward then sends him off with a song as he leads the crowd in a "USA" chant
