John Cena comes to the ring and he has something to say before his Open Challenge. John points out that on Sunday we go Extreme on the WWE Network. Live on the WWE Network, it is not about the rules, it is about the revenge. You saw that Rusev means business. Why shouldn’t he? He handed Rusev his first loss at Wrestlemania. He cringes every time that John says ‘The Champ is Here.’

That is why at Extreme Rules, a normal win is not enough. He wants to do what Rusev does best and that is destroy. That is why he chose a Russian Chain match. You need to touch all four corners CONSECUTIVELY. His plan is to lock him up in the chain and do what no man has been able to do. That is take the Fighting Spirit from him. Cena says that he will never give up and he will fight to win.

Sunday, Rusev’s plan is to beat him motionless and stop at all four corners to get back his US Title, drop the Russian flag, and prove that Wrestlemania was a fluke. That is a hell of a plan. He has one problem. John tells us who he is and he says for ten years he has proven that while he might not win them all, you knock him down he will get up.

Cena says that he will beat Rusev down, touch all four corners and prove that Wrestlemania was a statement. The Champ is here and the title is a symbol of excellence and opportunity. Rusev will have the opportunity to have a Russian chain shoved up his ass.

John says he is going to have his challenge tonight. John says he has a message to the underdog, undersized, and underappreciated. He is focused on Sunday but he is not in a losing mood.
