RAW begins with John Cena making his entrance.

John Cena hypes Lafayette, LA then Wrestlemania 29’s two World Championship Matches: Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio and John Cena vs. The Rock. CM Punk’s music plays and comes down to ringside.

CM Punk tells John Cena that facing The Rock at Wrestlemania is the easy the way out, but he expects nothing less from Cena. Punk admits he lost fair and square, despite having The Rock pinned in the middle of the ring and despite Rock striking a WWE official.

CM Punk brings up that The Rock has beaten John Cena, but Cena has never beaten Punk. Cena says he’s not talking about wins/losses, he’s talking about Wrestlemania. Cena reminds Punk that he earned the right to go to Wrestlemania and tells Punk to sit this one out because it’s not about him.

CM Punk says it is about CM Punk because he earned his right to go to Wrestlemania since he was WWE Champion for 434 Days. John Cena just threw people over the rope in the Royal Rumble and got lucky. CM Punk says that Rock/Cena is a rerun and that Cena can’t get it done or win the big one. John Cena asks CM Punk what he wants him to do. CM Punk tells John Cena he wants him to just walk away and get out of Punk’s life.

John Cena pretends he’s gonna walk away then says “No.” Cena says he admires Punk’s honesty and thinks that there’s a halfway decent human being in CM Punk, but Cena isn’t giving away his golden ticket to Wrestlemania. Cena says despite CM Punk’s attitude, he’s right about Cena being unable to beat The Rock or Punk and knows he has critics that believe he shouldn’t be in the main event of Wrestlemania.

John Cena says he won’t give away his Wrestlemania Title Shot, but he’ll let CM Punk earn it. Cena challenges CM Punk to a match. If Cena wins, CM Punk shuts up and goes away. But if he loses, CM Punk goes to Wrestlemania.
