What's next?
Vince McMahon looks to be staying true to his promise to shake things up, by bringing back John Cena at a house show, appearing himself and allowing things like Apollo Crews winning a Battle Royal to become #1 Contender to the Intercontinental Championship.
Either way, it looks like an awesome house show with some special moments and it's almost a shame that anyone outside of the arena that night can't watch it!
