Welcome everyone to tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw. We begin tonight’s show with a shot of the ring and it is surrounded by a steel cage. We are now joined by John Cena.

He says 10 years go, in this same arena, he was drafted to Monday Night Raw. He said he heard the loudest ovation he has ever gotten in his career. He says but now, times have changed. He says he doesn’t fault the WWE Universe for that. He says he has had some good times with us, and some night more tougher than normal. He says but through all that, he has never abandoned us and always put the WWE first. He asks why we follow Bray Wyatt.
