WWE United States Champion “The Samoan Werewolf” Jacob Fatu is then shown arriving at the venue and 2025 Women’s Money in the Bank winner Naomi is shown walking backstage.

Tessitore says there are over 11,900 in attendance, while he checks in from the commentary desk with Wade Barrett. Tessitore then sets up a video package that recaps the Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank PLEs.

Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena’s music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Cena then enters the ring and he asks for his music to be cut. “Let’s go Cena, Cena sucks” chants then ring around the arena as he points to the ring announcer Mark Nash who introduces him as “the greatest of all time, the never seen 17, gracing Lexington with his presence one last time. He is the last real champion, John Cena!”

Cena starts off by saying he takes up all four spots on the Mount Rushmore of great wrestlers and no one in the past, present, or future is comparable to him. Cena then says the reason he will always outmaneuver everyone isn’t because he will never give up, but because he’s smarter. Cena then says everyone wants to be him and he announced his retirement a year early so he can scout out his most worthy opponents. Cena then says he knew he could use his seniority to earn a spot in the 2025 Men’s Elimination Chamber and he knew exactly how his opponents would act in the match as well Cody Rhodes, Randy Orton and R-Truth. Cena then calls himself the Greatest Of All Time and continues ragging on the fans for coming up with fake stories about selling his soul. Cena then says the match is always in his favor and he wins matches before competing in them and the math tells him that no one will ever come close to being as great of an Undisputed WWE Champion as he is.

Cody Rhodes’ music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Rhodes then enters the ring with Cena and the fans sing “Cody, Cody Rhodes”. Rhodes says Cena just said that he is smart. Rhodes then says Cena is not just smart, he is a genius.

Rhodes then asks Cena why he didn’t include this Saturday when he was looking at the lights and he pinned him. Rhodes then says he is not part of Cena’s plan. Rhodes then calls Cena “John Rushmore” and asks him where that leaves them.

Randy Orton’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Orton says everyone saw he had Cena beaten in the ring. Orton then says he has to do what it takes, no matter who he has to go through to get number 15. Orton then says he loves Cody like a brother, but if he has to take him down to get to Cena, he will not hesitate to do that.

LA Knight’s music then hits and he makes his way out. Knight asks for his music to be cut and says “Let me talk to ya”. Knight then says he heard the world say they want him. Knight then says he knows what the fans want, he knows what the three guys in the ring don’t want and that is him walking down to the ring. Knight then says he is looking at the WWE establishment, he knows that. Knight then says he is the sore thumb standing out there and he likes it that way. Knight then tells Cena that he has this master plan of his, but he knows that his plans didn’t include him. Knight then says King of the Ring is right around the corner and he has a shot at all of them to take what is his and he has to drop a viper, a nightmare and he has to drop a genius, balding b***h John Cena to be WWE Champion, with everyone saying LA Knight. Cena then leaves the ring and begins walking to the back, but Ron Killings attacks him from behind. Killings then delivers some right hands and security comes out to break it up.
