3. John Cena Returns To Challenge Rusev

Just as he has done to Kalisto more than once, Rusev elects to beat down Titus O'Neil after beating him to retain the WWE United States Title. Most fans would see through what was happening, because the beating could linger on for a little longer than usual. Turning to the fans, Rusev screams that nobody can stop him.

Suddenly, John Cena's familiar entrance theme hits, and the WWE poster boy sprints down the aisle. Rapidly peppering Rusev with punches, he teases an Attitude Adjustment, all before Lana pulls her man's leg and Rusev escapes to safety on the outside of the ring.

Ideally, this would all be done quickly, so as to keep the excitement of Cena's return alive. Grabbing a microphone, Cena would dispense with his usual hammy dialogue and simply say that he's back to fight and win titles. Directly, he'd challenge Rusev for the United States Title, anytime and anywhere.

Speaking on behalf of her man, Lana could then tell fans to shut up and inform Cena that the answer is no. Looking to get back on his sister, Shane then appears on the big screen and says the answer is yes.
