In-Ring Segment: John Cena
Cena addresses the fact that Roman Reigns turned down his challenge and accepted Finn Balor’s. He called the rejection a confirmation of his belief that Reigns “sucks”, and he calls the champion a scared little kid. He says Reigns criticizing his for his lack of changing his act is as stupid as asking greats like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and The Rock to change. Cena says that Reigns has to change every two years because the people stop caring about him. He states that Reigns doesn’t believe himself, and he’s a bloodsucking product of this machine. He says he would have embarrased him at SummerSlam.
Baron Corbin interrupts Cena, and the former champion doesn’t recognize him. Once he does, Corbin says he’s desperate and his life is falling apart. He recaps his misfortune and says he can’t perform. He says his wife left and took the kids, so he doesn’t know what to do. Corbin asks Cena for help.

Cena asks the crowd for advice, and the fans chant that he shouldn’t help. Cena gives him some money, but Corbin asks him for a role in his next movie. Corbin offers to be Cena’s stunt double. When Cena turns him down, Corbin calls himself and says he’s a sellout. Cena says he can help Corbin after all by giving him what he needs more than anything, an Attitude Adjustment.
