After being heavily booed during his appearances on Monday’s Raw, WWE top star John Cena positioned himself as the face of the company after Raw went off the air by addressing a crowd that took over the show.

Full Text of Cena’s post-Raw speech: “Heard a lot of chants tonight. Even had a chant for Michael Cole. And, a chant for Justin Roberts. Hell, they even chanted for JBL! (pause for “JBL” chant.) You guys almost know everybody, because there wasn’t a chant for Disco Stu – he’s the cameraman. (pause for “Disco Stu” chant and cheers.) A lot of chants tonight, but the favorite one I heard was when you told yourselves ‘We are awesome.’ (pause for “We are awesome” chant.)

“Indeed you are because you make WrestleMania Moments and you make Superstars. Tonight was a hell of a moment for our new World Hvt. champion Dolph Ziggler. (pause for loud cheers and applause.) And, a special moment for him was made even more special for you because you were excited, you were entertained, and you were active for him in this ring, and for that, we all thank you.

“The guy (The Rock) who debuted this (new WWE Title belt) couldn’t be here tonight (pause for boos), but when he did, he said he wanted to debut The People’s Era, and he was right. Because I looked around and I listened tonight. You guys create the stars in this business; you create the energy; you create the atmosphere.

“I know a lot of vacation days were spent on this weekend; I know a lot of dollars; I know a lot of experiences were had. There is no better way to prove that this belongs to the people. Tonight, I’m giving it to you. (pause for cheers.) We usually end the night by playing somebody’s music, because they think we gotta leave with somebody’s music. But, not tonight. Because tonight, you are going to play the music. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you had a great WrestleMania. Take ’em home!” (cue up the crowd humming Fandango’s theme music as Cena left to the stage.)
