It's the day after the most talked about Wrestlemanias in WWE history, Wrestlemania 28, and we are live in Miami, Florida from the American Airlines Arena

We kick things off with all the superstars backstage and John Laurinaitis says he’s earned the right to be the GM of both Raw and Smackdown and says he will not abuse his power and will give back to the people and books Santino for a title defense against Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. CM Punk stands up and says despite Laurinaitis being GM of both shows, himself and the people still think he’s a toolbox. Laurinaitis then books Punk to defend his title against Mark Henry.

The distinct sound of “If Ya Smell What The Rock Is Cooking” comes over the PA system and out comes The People’s Champion and the crowd starts a “Boots To Asses” chant. Rock says 14 months ago The Rock came back to the WWE and they did it all. Birthday parties, Rock Concerts, History lessons. They electrified crowds across the country. But it wasn’t til last night when The Rock stood before a record breaking crowd at Sun Life Stadium victorious that the Rock was able to stand in front of the crowd tonight and say finally he’s come home. He then says there’s one man he has to thank and that man is John Cena which elicits a “Cena Sucks” from the crowd. Rock says last night, John Cena brought it to Rock like never before. After two AA’s and Rock was trapped in an STF by Cena, Rock was having a JHC moment. Rock says it was an honour to compete against John Cena in the biggest match of all time and win or lose, at the end of the day they made history in one of the greatest matches of all time and they did it for the fans. He then thanks John Cena and the fans and then says in 1995 he was cut from the CFL and thanks the fans that he can stand in front of them today as the most electrifying man in all of entertainment but also the people’s champion. And if people around the world think this is the end, Rock guarandamntees this is just the beginning. The crowd starts a “Thank You Rocky”. Rock says ever since last night he’s had this vision and woke up this morning and told people about his vision and they said it’s impossible. But what the people failed to realize is the Rock wipes a monkey’s ass with the word impossible. The Rock then told the people his vision is that one day he is going to be WWE Champion.

John Cena comes out and says he never thought of losing but now it’s happened the only thing to do is do it right. The obligation to those who believe in him. We all take defeat in life and tonight everyone’s seen clips of his Road To Wrestlemania. He’s talked and talked a lot. No one goes undefeated in life and a true champion retains their will to win even through their most disappointing loss. With that being said there was a lot of speculation how he’d react. Would he be a person coming out to make excuses, to lash out at his opponent. Or would this finally be the day he finally lashes out at the WWE Universe. He hates to be the bearer of bad news but that will not happen. He is a man, he was beaten so as a man he will own up and admit defeat and says last night at Wrestlemania he lost to The Rock. There’ll be some critics that will make last night the most important in his career but he assures everyone it will not be his last. To everyone who has supported him, if he let down anyone last night he apologizes and wipes the slate clean and promises to work his ass off to be the best he can be. He then addressed the rumour about calling Rock out and says he is not here to call Rock out. When you call someone out that means you want to fight and he and Rock have been calling each other out for weeks and they settled things last night. He then invites Rock back out not to talk trash, not to fight because respect is a word he holds close and Dwayne Johnson is a man who has earned his respect and he wants the world to know he considers Rock a champion, an inspiration and after last night the greatest superstar in this industry. And then called for one more moment of celebration for Miami’s own Dwayne Johnson. This past year has been exhausting they laid it out on the line both physically and verbally. He understands the excitement in the air and he put his heart and soul into last night, and came up short and Rock was the better man. Cena says he personally respects Dwayne Johnson and wants one second to publically say Rock was the better man at Wrestlemania and congratulate him on his victory. Brock Lesnar’s music hits and out comes “The Next Big Thing”. Lesnar comes down to the ring and delivers an F-5 to John Cena.
