John Cena laid out his plan to “ruin wrestling for everyone” on WWE Raw.

Cena kicked off Monday’s show from Glasgow, Scotland, continuing to blame the fans for his recent actions. He recalled being criticized back in 2005 for introducing the “Spinner Championship,” with fans saying the WWE title was “not a toy.” Cena then revealed that he intends to beat Cody Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania, retire as champion, and leave everyone else fighting over what he referred to as a “brand-new toy belt.”

Cena said:

“I am going to ruin wrestling for every fan, for every wrestler, for everyone. At WrestleMania, I make history by winning a 17th championship. And I finally force you to forget the name of the fun machine, jet-flying, woo, Ric Flair. You will forever say the name John Cena.”

“But even worse, I’m going to win that championship—the center of every superstar of this entire business, of every fan in this building—I will win that championship and retire with it. I am taking it home with me and leaving all of you to create a brand-new toy belt, because the real one comes home with me.”

Rhodes then came out to confront Cena, saying he could tell Cena was serious about his threat—but reminded him that to take the WWE title away from the fans, Cena would first have to take it from him. After a brief standoff, Cena left the ring.

Rhodes called after him as he walked to the back:

“I need you to understand that your psychotic need to take (the WWE title) does not outweigh our right to keep it. The champ is no longer standing there—the champ is standing in the center of this ring, and seeing you walk away empty-handed. John Cena, that is how you will walk away from WrestleMania, and that is how you walk away from WWE.”
