'The Vice President Of Talent Relations' [/i][/color] John Laurinaitis :-
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw. Now last night John Cena was shown the full effect of all of you, he felt the people power and he could not handle it. He disrespected me and disrespected all of you for trying to rid your television screens of me!Laurinaitis is interrupted by very loud boos from the crowd'The Vice President Of Talent Relations'[/i][/color] John Laurinaitis :-
I made it my duty to have you people entertained week in and week out, why would anyone want to ruin that? Now John Cena was dealt with in an according manner and I hope that sends a message to all of the locker room that anyone who crosses my path will be dealt with in the most extreme way. The board of directors gave very clear instructions to anyone who that got involved would be terminated on the spot, thankfully nobody on the active roster risked there job to put an end to John Cena and his stupid theories and conspiracies regarding me and my intentions as General Manager..Just then Laurinaitis is interrupted by the music of John Cena and the crowd erupts with a mixed chorus of cheers and boos. Cena storms the ring and asks for a microphone from the assistant.'The Vice President Of Talent Relations'[/i][/color] John Laurinaitis :-
Just who the he...John Cena :-
Shut up! you are lucky I am not forcing my fist through your skull right now! That crap you pulled last night was typical from you, I should have known better than to actually think you would play it fair and not be stupid enough to risk your job by hiring someone to take me out last night and give you the victory. Now all these people have to suffer through even more of you and your monotone voice each week. I'll hand it to you 'Funk Man' you tricked everyone. You fired Big Show and he made a deal with the devil himself to get his job back. We signed a contract and you worked you way around that and right now I'm demanding a rematch with you...Tonight! The Crowd erupts with a large chorus of approval at John Cena's challenge.John Cena :-
What do you say Johnny?'The Vice President Of Talent Relations'[/i][/color] John Laurinaitis :-
John, firstly, I don't appreciate you coming out here and ruining my celebration. Secondly, I had nothing to do with Big Show last night, I fired that useless lump and I thought that was the last I had seen of him last Monday. Now if you want to come out here and take all the attention, then tonight I'll give you the spotlight....your challenge to me is nothing but farcical, you had your chance last night Cena and you blew it so now the Board of Directors have sent me an email earlier today to inform me that you cannot place another finger on me unless physically provoked. So tonight in my place, you will take on my personal legal counsel, David Otunga and his partner Lord Tensai in a 2 on 1 Tag..Laurinaitis quickly corrects himself..
Handicap Match, a 2 on 1 handicap match, let's make it interesting, if you are successful tonight then in 3 weeks time at the No Way Out pay-per-view then I will allow you to have your rematch, sound good?John Cena :-
Why am I not surprised, yet again dodging my challenge, as for your little obstacle for tonight..I accept! Just know that when I win and trust me I will win that when I finally get my hands on you again I will make sure you are never seen in this company again.Cena drops his microphone and jokingly feint throws a punch at Laurinaitis which causes him to fall over himself, Cena laughs and leaves the ring and heads up the ramp as Raw cuts to a commercial---
