- John Cena comes to the ring, and says he’s here to answer the question everyone has been asking: how is this possible? Cena states in October of 2007 he suffered an injury to his pectoralis muscle, and doctors told him he would be out a year. Not wanting to “sit on the sideline” for Wrestlemania XXIV 03.30.08, Cena says he made a choice that could have risked his career and his future health - but now he’s the winner of the 2008 Royal Rumble. But, he continues, he doesn’t want to wait for Wrestlemania XXIV 03.30.08 - he wants his title shot tonight!
- Randy Orton comes out and says everyone who challenges him loses. Cena says that’s been true so far - but Orton should accept his challenge tonight, because Orton is smart. Orton’s the one who injured Cena, and Orton should be wondering how healed can Cena be? And, says Cena, Orton should go for this opportunity, because Orton has never beaten him, and he’s going to need all the help he can get. Orton says putting Cena out helped make him become an even bigger deal than before - and there’s no way he’s going to wrestle Cena unless people are paying for it. But, if Cena really doesn’t want to wait for Wrestlemania XXIV 03.30.08, then they can meet at No Way Out
- Cena accepts, then says it’s been 4 months since he’s been able to wrestle - and tonight he’s going to get some.
