RAW this week starts with music and pyro.
Orton’s music and he’s in the ring. There’s a red carpet down and a table in the ring. It’s for the contract signing. Orton has a clipboard with the contract in hand. The fans give him a lot of heat and a small “You suck” chant starts. Orton says he has an official WWE Championship contract in his hand. Last week Cena (good pop for Cena) accepted his challenge. The thing is that Cena’s word means nothing to him. That’s why he wants it in writing so there’s no way Cena can back out in two weeks. There’s no way Cena can claim he’s not fully recovered. He wants this contract signed so that for Cena there’s no way out. That’s why he had his lawyers draw up the contract, which he’s signed. He tells Cena to come out, have a seat and sign the contract. He can wait to WM, that’s fine by him…
Video of Cena out back heading for the ring. Cena’s music and he comes out looking very serious, at first. Then he breaks out into a huge grin for the fans. Orton sits at the table with his feet up waiting for Cena. Cena gets in the ring and glares down at Orton. Cena poses and the fans seem to be mostly behind him this week. There’s some heat, but much less than last week. “Cena” chants.
Cena sits at the table across from Orton. Orton says both of their attorneys have looked it over. Now Cena just needs to sign. Cena signs and flings the clipboard across the table at Orton. Orton says he’ll see him in two weeks. But, if for some reason Cena tears his pec when arm wrestling Henry tonight, they’re still on. They both get to their feet. Henry runs down the ramp. Cena faces Henry, but then turns to check on Orton. Orton hits the RKO on Cena using Henry’s distraction. Orton back up the ramp holding his belt high.

He knows he’s had a great career, has held numerous title and, he doesn’t know if he’s mentioned it lately, he sings his own theme song. He’s putting everyone in the EC on notice.
