[John Cena faces the crowd after the Elimination Chamber turn, and he's having none of the strong crowd language]
No, tonight, you get to find out how I make you pay for the abuse you have put me through. For 25 years, I have listened to your lies and your noise, but I didn't waste that time being mean like you, no I paid attention. You make this so easy, while you were chanting profanity at the top of your lungs, I've been paying attention, I've been learning from you, quizzing you, studying you, testing you, prodding you, rewarding you for playing along with your stupid, childish, curse-ridden nursery rhymes. And in doing so, you have told me every single thing about you, you know nothing about me, I know more about you than you, and the truth is, your life is sad, because this, is the best it's gonna get, this is all you have. But to me, you have been nothing more than an experiment, you have been rats in a cage. Oh, you don't believe me? Pick out any moment in my career and I'll tell you what I learned from you, when I bled, you thought I was tough, when I spoke, you were inspired, when I was edgy, you were excited, when I was vanilla, you were bored, [crowd starts chanting "WHAT!"] when I was loyal, you were loved, when I was selfish, you were disrespected, when I speak in rhythmic tones, you say what? You make this so, so simple.
You will always tell me everything about yourselves because you so desperately want to matter. And the most important thing you ever told me was in April 2005, it was a day I gave you my greatest idea, I gave you the WWE Spinner Championship. And just like right now, you ate me alive! All you have to do is Google negative comments about the spinner belt, you all told me loud and clear how stupid I was... Because I changed your championship into a toy and the championship is not a toy. The championship is a symbol, of the center of all this and the toy belt I made for you, disrespected tradition and disrespected your legacy. Listen closely because that was the biggest mistake you ever made, in that one single moment you were vulnerable enough to actually tell you what means the most to you in this life and now that I know that, I am going to ruin wrestling. I am going to ruin wrestling for every fan, for every wrestler, for everyone.
At WrestleMania, I make history by winning a 17th championship, and I finally force you to forget the name of the fun machine, jet-flying, Woo!! Ric Flair, [crowd goes "Woo"] you will forever say the name John Cena. [gets booed] But even worse, I'm going to win that championship, the center, of every superstar, of this entire business, of every fan in this building, I will win that championship and retire with it. I am taking it home with me and leaving all of you to create a brand new toy belt, because the real one comes home with me! I will be the last real champion in WWE, revenge is best served cold and I pay you back by ripping your heart out and forcing you to watch as I just walk away with your memories, with your traditions and your dreams and there is nothing you can do to stop me!
