Eventually, Rollins gave in and said he could have the rematch. Rollins was irritated by Reigns’ insults and ended up leaving the ring.

Kevin Owens came to the ring to cut a promo about backing up what he promises he’ll do, such as beating Sami Zayn, and then beating John Cena last night at Elimination Chamber. He started to say he’ll beat Cena again in two weeks, so the parents should tune in to see what he does to the marketing machine known as “Super Cena.” Owens also brought up how his wife was proud of his big win last night, but his son, who has always been a big Cena fan, wanted to know if Cena was OK.  

John Cena came out for rebuttal and said he was ready to hand the US Title to Owens tonight for beating him but realized he doesn’t deserve it. He said he doesn’t really deserve the NXT title either. He admitted Owens took him to his limits and beat him. Cena said all the hype - its the WWE Marketing machine, not him. He said his catchphrases are all authentic to him and not created in a boardroom. Cena pointed out a fan of his in the front row holding up a sign “I beat cancer.” Cena told Owens he represents all those people who take 10 years to fight and claw their way to victory. He told the kid who beat cancer to never give up and that’s what he stands for. Cena took off his shirt ready for a fight, and Owens seemed ready too, but instead left the ring and went up the ramp towards backstage without looking back at Cena.
