Can't wait for Shawn to tell Flair he loves him again. #RAW

HBK may as well not have retired.

Hulk Hogan and Shawn Michaels in the same ring since 2005? I wonder if HBK is going to oversell all of Hogan's comments?

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) August 26, 2014

Michael Cole brings up John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at Night Of Champions. Cole asks Shawn Michaels about John Cena’s chances of beating Brock Lesnar for the title. HBK thinks it’s not good and not going to happen, which Ric Flair agrees with. HBK thinks that John Cena is at a crossroads and that it may be time for him to retire.

HELL YES! SHAWN, YOU TELL 'EM! #RAW

Hulk Hogan tells Shawn Michaels that wrestlers know when it’s their time, but John Cena’s time is not up. Hogan thinks Cena can still go.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHIN', BROTHER!

This needs to end with Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels attacking Hulk Hogan. "Wrestlemania Buddies for Life!" #RAW

— ThreeManBooth (@3ManBooth) August 26, 2014

Michael Cole asks Ric Flair if he agrees with HBK. Flair tells Cole that he thinks the world of John Cena then talks about his accolades, but does not want him up against Brock Lesnar at Night Of Champions. His exact words were, “Enh. I don’t think so. I’m not feelin’ it.”

https://twitter.com/karaadora/status/504057184591020033

"John Cena is a 15-time World Champion. Not 16 times like me but, you know, still pretty good." – Ric Flair #RAW

https://twitter.com/DorzaltyNechia/status/504057102818902016

Hulk Hogan tells Michael Cole that he’s rooting for John Cena, because his Hustle, Loyalty and Respect are not a gimmick. Hogan thinks Cena has heart and can defeat Brock Lesnar.

#RAW Hogan: "Hustle Loyalty Respect, this isn't a marketing lingo" | Wanna bet?

WWE should use Hulk Hogan like how he was in Wrestlefast. He smashes glass then tells you how many victories you need for a title match #RAW

Shawn Michaels says it’s not a personality contest and that although everyone likes John Cena, he has no chance of beating Brock Lesnar. Hulk Hogan brings up John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules in 2012, saying Cena found a way to win that match.

https://twitter.com/aubreysitterson/status/504057765514313728

Shawn Michaels cuts Hulk Hogan that nobody takes a beating like John Cena did and comes back the same way. Hogan thinks Cena will still find a way to win against Brock Lesnar. Ric Flair backs Shawn Michaels thinking Cena can’t defeat Brock Lesnar. Hulk Hogan keeps defending John Cena until Cena comes out.

They said his name enough times. Here comes John Cena! #RAW

— ThreeManBooth (@3ManBooth) August 26, 2014

It's like Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair were talking about what to do with their kid, John Cena, and Cena caught them #RAW

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) August 26, 2014

Too much red and yellow out here

John Cena starts talking about the critics who have been talking about what Cena should do after his beating at Summerslam from Brock Lesnar. After a “Cena Sucks” chant, Cena tells the panel that he has the utmost respect for Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan, but he is sick of people telling him what he should do.

#RAW Cena: "If there was no Hulk Hogan, there would be no John Cena" | So Hogan screwed the WWE and Cena was born?

— Jeven W. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦👑 (@5CornersxSmootx) August 26, 2014

Everyone's weighed in on Cena / Lesnar: WWE Universe, Hall of Fame Forum, The Stone Cutters. They're all backing Guttenberg, I mean Lesnar!

— ThreeManBooth (@3ManBooth) August 26, 2014

https://twitter.com/loveablelinds/status/504058213806112768

John Cena talks about the beating her had at Summerslam, saying that match was a 100% beatdown and asswhooping. Cena agrees with Shawn Michaels’ point saying a fight like that changes a man, but says he wants to fight Brock Lesnar again at Night Of Champions.

https://twitter.com/InstantRandy/status/504058447252303872
https://twitter.com/loveablelinds/status/504058757513748480

John Cena says he doesn’t plan of getting beaten down again. Cena wants to bring to fight to Brock Lesnar and that the rematch is the biggest rematch of his entire match. Cena tells the panel that he’s not going to Night Of Champions to beat Brock Lesnar, he’s going to Night Of Champions to beat Brock Lesnar’s ass.

#RAW Cena: "At Night of Champions I'm not going to beat Brock Lesnar, I'm going to beat Brock Lesnar's ass" | Uhhhhh. #Phrasing?

— Jeven W. 🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦👑 (@5CornersxSmootx) August 26, 2014

John Cena looks like he forgot his speech at home. #RAW

— Tom (@TQSherwood) August 26, 2014

I like Cena's new Strategy. He can't be ALL of Brock Lesnar. Just Pick a Body Part. #RAW

Shawn Michaels was the best part of that entire segment.#Raw

Wait, why doesn't Rusev wear boots again? Do they not have boots in Russia? Is the boot wearing him? "In Russia, boot wear you!" #Raw

Rusev manages to escape.

Rusev gets the upperhand and destroys Jack Swagger.

C'Mon Swagger! Do it for Uncle Sam! AND Uncle Zeb! #RAW

— ThreeManBooth (@3ManBooth) August 26, 2014

Instead of screaming "WE THE PEOPLE", maybe you should've hit him, Swagger.

— Kyle Lewis (@KeepItFiveStar) August 26, 2014

Hulk Hogan, Stop Talking to Cena and Help Swagger! You're the Original REAL AMERICAN! #RAW
