Roman Reigns makes his way to the ring. Reigns says John Cena might be the best talker ever, but the thing is he sometimes says stupid shit like trying to say he’s the next John Cena. Does he walk, talk, or even look like Cena? Does he look like a jacked up white guy with a military haircut? If he did, he wouldn’t have a career here. If you don’t believe him, ask Alex Riley about that. Reigns lets his actions speak for him. That’s why when he says something, he means it. When he says John Cena is a fake ass little bitch, it’s because he is. Not only that… John Cena is the biggest hypocrite to set foot in a WWE ring. If you don’t believe him, Cena will tell you himself. Footage is shown from February 2012 when John Cena tore into Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for coming in as a part timer.

Reigns asks if Cena should come out, and the crowd cheer loud. Reigns says they aren’t loud enough because Cena isn’t here. Everything Cena said in 2012 was just talk. That’s why the result at No Mercy will be the same as that WrestleMania, only this time he’ll be beaten by a different Samoan. Reigns says he’ll see Cena on Sunday before sarcastically calling him a movie star.
Later tonight, we’ll see a Six-Pack Challenge to determine who will face The Miz for the Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy.
Renee Young is backstage with The Hardy Boyz. She says only one superstar can win a six-pack challenge. What if it comes down to them? Matt says they’ve been fighting since they got out of the crib. All the stuff they’ve done to opponents, they’ve done to each other first. Jeff says he’ll seize the moment at No Mercy. Matt says he has to make it to No Mercy first. Jeff says, “May the best Hardy win.” Matt laughs and says he will.
Bray Wyatt makes his entrance. He’ll face Goldust/Dustin Rhodes, next.

This boy wanted to be greater than what was given to him. Eventually, this boy became a man. This man found a way to control his rage by channeling the gods and monsters he read about in books. This man created a Demon. Bálor has a very important question. If the Demon is the creation of the man, which one is more dangerous? At No Mercy, Wyatt will find out.
