Commentary Wade Barrett and Joe Tessitore
Obi Femi stands in the ring
Obi Femi: “I am the Ruler… and I am the winner of the John Cena Last Opponent Tournament.
And John… this is the worst possible outcome for you.
But for me?
This is perfect.
Because now… I get to decide how your story ends.
You talk about respect… loyalty… legacy…
I’m going to make sure you don’t even get the chance to say goodbye.
At Saturday Night’s Main Event… I don’t just beat you—
I end you.
I will leave you laid out… carried away on a stretcher…
And when you’re gone?
That ‘Hustle, Loyalty, Respect’ era…
is gone forever.
Because this…
This is the beginning of the Ruler Era.
I am not the future…
I am the end of yours.”

“You’re ‘The Vision’, aren’t you?
So why wait for AJ Styles…
when you can ruin AJ Styles?”
(Breakker cracks his knuckles, Sami watches closely)

“Go out there… make it about you.
