00:00I have this tattoo for the same reason that I wear this suit.

00:05It's not because I think I'm somebody, it's because I want to be somebody.

00:10Is that somebody who can sell out

00:16the world's most famous arena 188 times to the rhythmic chants of his own name?

00:22Is that somebody who can sit up each and every night,

00:25even with broken ribs and become WWE's phenom?

00:29Is that somebody who can set the world ablaze with Latino heat?

00:34Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie, Eddie.

00:54Or is that somebody who can carry a company on his back through good times and

00:59bad for 10 years?

01:03John Cena.

01:05John Cena looks at this and

01:10considers it a bad thing.

01:13I don't, I see it as a man who is trying to break the wheel,

01:18a man who is trying to find himself, does that sound familiar?

01:24John, you've told me that I don't know who I am, that I don't present myself authentically.

01:29Here's what I do know, John, I'm the WWE champion and you are not.

01:35And now I've found myself with the unenviable task, but

01:40it's in my nature to want this task, that I have to halt history with your record-setting

01:46title win so that we can have history here in the first place.

01:51John Cena's a man of his word, he said he was leaving, he means it.

01:54He says he means to take this with him, he means it.

01:57So let me share some honesty with you, John.

02:00I'll tell you the same thing that I told Brock, the same thing that I told Roman.

02:05I do my best work when I'm backed into a corner.

02:08I don't flinch, I fight, I wrestle.

02:11That's right, John, the bell is gonna ring.

02:14And when it does, and this is over,

02:23I leave you to this ring, John, to have your moment.

02:28Your moment to say goodbye.

02:34It would be clever for me to tell John, your time is up, my time is now.

02:39But John, you've known your time is up for quite some time,

02:42and that's why you did what you did.

02:44And one day, my time will be up soon.

02:46But until then, this is timeless.

02:50And this stays home.

02:55This stays with us.
