In-Ring: John Cena, Charlotte Flair

John Cena comes out to a MASSIVE reception. Cena tells Stew they have to hit their time, then runs down to the ring. The John Cena Classic Championship is in the ring, and Cena spins the spinner belt. The crowd is going crazy for Cena. Cena says they don’t even need a warm-up. Cena holds up the spinner belt and says, “The Championship is here!”

On December 14, in a history-making event, live just a little up the road in Orlando, Florida, we will find out what happens to this title. The John Cena Classic is an evening of opportunity. On that night, a record-setting number of NXT Superstars will have their Raw debut matches against the best and the brightest that WWE has to offer, with all superstars having the opportunity to become a champ. The biggest opportunity of the night goes to their biggest superstar, the fans. They can use their voice to make sure it’s heard loud and clear.

That’s December 14. How about we talk about right here and now? The time is now. It’s time to see who’s next. The next invitee to the John Cena Classic is… Charlotte Flair. The 14-time Women’s Champion heads to the ring. She gets on the apron and waits for an inexperienced stagehand to hold the ropes open for her. Flair finally gets in the ring and embraces Cena.

Flair says she’s her father’s daughter and tends to get emotional like him. She hopes she can make it through this. This is for Cena. For 10 years, she’s been trying to figure out how to get into a storyline to get in the ring and stand across from Cena. Flair has been trying to be a part of that magic. She’s dreamt it and manifested it to be in the ring with Cena because she thinks she’s that great, too. She knows her dad is at home in Tampa bawling with every TV on at that bar. Cena waves to Ric Flair. The reason why she’s here is that Cena wanted her to be part of his legacy. That means so much to her.

Flair doesn’t want to cry because her makeup is fabulous. Two years ago, after WrestleMania 41, she was backstage. Cena walked past her. She wasn’t wrestling. She was depressed and didn’t know if she wanted to be part of the company anymore or keep wrestling. Flair felt so lost. Cena looked her straight in the eyes and asked what happened in Chicago. Flair said she didn’t have an answer and “shit the bed.” It wasn’t her night. Cena looked at her and told her to stop trying to be perfect. Cena said, “Own who you are.” Since then, for the last two years, she’s gotten high-fives and been cheered. Flair isn’t saying she’s a fan favorite. She thanks Cena for helping her put on her big-girl pants, find her passion, and reinvent herself. Cena didn’t do it because she’s Ric Flair’s kid. Cena believed in her when she didn’t. Flair starts to cry. The crowd chants, “You deserve it.” Flair says when she doesn’t believe in herself, she’ll remember being in the John Cena Classic, being excellent in the John Cena Classic, and winning the John Cena Championship. Flair says she’s the greatest champion of all time. WOO!

Cena says he’s going to go over his time, but he doesn’t care. When she started in the business, people thought she had an easy way in. Flair told him about the weight of carrying her father’s legacy, her brother, as well as rebuilding women’s wrestling and giving opportunities to today’s superstars. She never had it easy. She just made it look easy. There was a time when he said he needed to win 17 because he wanted to shake hands with whoever would win 18. Cena was always talking about her. Cena thanks her and embraces her before raising her arm.

Bacstage: Nick Aldis, Rey Mysterio, Cody Rhodes

SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis greets WWE Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. Mysterio has an idea of someone who he could add to Team Mexico. Cody Rhodes walks in, greets Mysterio and Aldis. Mysterio says they have business, so he walks off. Aldis asks Rhodes about Crown Jewel and asks if he’s in a good place, ready to leave that business behind him. Rhodes says Crown Jewel will stick with him. Maybe he uses the Punt. Maybe not. Still, his attention is on Survivor Series. Aldis asks how recruiting is going for Team USA. Rhodes has some people in mind, as does CM Punk. Maybe they’ll add new members tonight or on Raw. After Survivor Series is behind them, Rhodes wants to revisit the No. 1 Contender conversation.

In-Ring: Sami Zayn, Johnny Gargano, Candice LeRae, Kevin Owens

Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn heads to the ring alongside Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. At WWE Crown Jewel, World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns defeated him, but he showed respect to Zayn after the match.

The crowd boos Zayn, and he tells them to bring it. Zayn tells Gargano they have some “bitch-ass haters” in the building tonight. That’s fine because he has to know… Zayn is cut off by a “You Suck” chant. Zayn says for the rest of them, he has to know how many are here to ride or die with the Last Real Good Guy? There’s a loud negative reaction, but some people are there to ride with him. Zayn says at Crown Jewel, a lot of things that were very wrong were made right. There was respect. Zayn wanted and needed the respect, and he got it. Zayn demanded it. He commanded it and took it. Zayn did something that no one in this industry has ever done. Zayn got Roman Reigns to acknowledge him. If the OTC, one of the all-time greats and the standard-bearer for this industry for the last ten years, could show him respect, that’s the bare minimum he wants from the people.

Kevin Owens heads to the ring! Owens warns Zayn that he’s not talking to Roman Reigns or Trick Williams. Owens is glad that Zayn got to right some wrongs because he’s done some of them as well. Last week, Owens punched CM Punk in the face with a chain to beat him in the middle of the ring without help from anyone, which is more than Punk could say about him. The other wrong that Owens wants to make right… Before he says this, he wants to be clear. Zayn talks about ride-or-die Sami Zayn fans; Owens has always said that Zayn is one of the best to ever do it, no matter what was going on with them. No matter how Zayn won the title, Owens believes he deserves every bit of it and the respect that comes with it. The people that try to diminish what he’s done, saying Zayn is a midcard guy who looks like a bum, aren’t half as good as Zayn on Zayn’s worst day. Owens believes that Zayn makes an excellent WWE Champion. From the bottom of his heart, Owens is proud of him.

Zayn is choked up and says that means the world to him. Owens says he’s not done. The wrong that he needs to make right is that 17 months of his career were taken from him. For 17 months, he sat at home and wondered if he’d ever get back into the ring. Without wrestling, Owens doesn’t know who he is. Owens wanted the people who saw him through the worst of times, his ride-or-die fans, to see him wrestle again. In Toronto on August 21, he got to do that. Owens also had an opportunity to become WWE Champion in front of them. It didn’t happen because of Zayn. Owens shoves Zayn. Zayn quickly holds Gargano back. Owens says he’s sorry to say that there’s only one way to right that wrong. Owens says he doesn’t want to take the title from Zayn… he NEEDS to take the title from him.

Gargano steps in between them. Gargano says this was the worst year of his life. Gargano lost everything. The only man who stood by his side and showed him the respect he deserves was Sami Zayn. Zayn made him a promise and is working to get him a title match. Owens respects the Garganos, but Gargano lay on a crate for six months and got a title shot as soon as he stood up. He’s fine. Owens shoves him aside and gets in Zayn’s face, but Gargano attacks him from behind. Gargano holds Owens up, and LeRae slaps him in the face. Owens is struggling to get up. Zayn looks down at his friend and leaves the ring. Gargano attacaks OWens and kicks him in the face. Gargano goes for another kick, but Owens blocks it and hits a Stunner! Zayn isn’t happy. Owens grabs a microphone and says Zayn’s title reign is on borrowed time, and he will end it. Owens then sends Gargano over the top rope.

Backstage: CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Rey Mysterio, Rey Fenix

Stratton says some people need a boyfriend or a General Manager to feel bad for them. All Stratton needs is a briefcase. Stratton dedicates this victory to her former BFF, Chelsea Green.

Chelsea Green heads to the ring and says it’s noted that she’s Stratton’s ex-BFF. A “Chelsea” chant picks up. Green says they were clearly never friends. Stratton was faking because she stood beside her as she told her how much Crown Jewel meant to her. Green told her how much Crown Jewel could change the trajectory of her career. Why her? Green’s been thinking about it. Was it the ring or the title? No, it was Stratton wanting to steal Green’s moment. Stratton did it, but when Green lays her head on her pillow, she’ll sleep soundly after going down in the history books as the Crown Jewel Champion. Stratton is a thief, and Green wants her ring back.

Stratton says Green stole her moment at SummerSlam. Green has gotten too comfortable thinking she’s on Stratton’s level. There’s Tiffany Stratton, everyone else, and then Chelsea Green.
