Cena says he is used to the reaction (mixed) and all that it means is that he is back. He asks if they missed him and he gets a positive response and some yes chants. He says some feel that he came back too early, and thanks JBL. He had to listen for weeks as JBL said he was coming back too soon and that Del Rio would put him back on the shelf. He did so while doing a very bad JBL impersonation. But he thanks JBL for motivating him, and says he is back for good. He knows what the world title means, and that is that he is not only back on Raw, but he is back on Smackdown. He is going on the European tour to fight as the champion. Sure he has to wear the brace, talk to the doctor, and has to ice it down, but he is back. He is excited to be here, but he knows tonight that Orton has a celebration later tonight, so he will stop talking now. But he promises he is back and puts over Del Rio and says that they have a rematch. If you want some, come get some, because even stronger is more than a hashtag. The champ is here.
