One segment from this week’s episode of Raw is receiving a ton of praise.

As seen on this week’s episode of Monday Night Raw in Memphis, TN at the FedExForum, John Cena, and Roman Reigns did a contract signing, which was hosted by WWE Hall of Famer and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle.

The signing was to make their match at the upcoming No Mercy PPV (pay-per-view) event in Los Angeles, CA at the Staples Center on Sunday, September 24th official. The event will air on the WWE Network and some traditional pay-per-view outlets. This will be an exclusive RAW brand event.

It was a noteworthy verbal confrontation between these two former WWE Champions. The segment featured a war of words that got personal at times. Reigns brought up that Cena buries younger talent while Cena called Reigns "a cheap-ass corporately created John Cena bootleg."

The two Superstars were taking some big jabs at each other, which sparked speculation online from WWE fans that the segment went off script due to the shots that were being fired.

However, that isn’t the case. Dave Meltzer mentioned in a report that was posted on F4WOnline that the segment was "completely" scripted ahead of time. Meltzer noted that The main verbiage for the promo was mostly from the writing team, and was not Reigns or Cena ad-libbing.

As we reported earlier on the site, Samoa Joe was expected to take on John Cena in a singles match on Monday Night Raw. However, that match never took place due to Joe suffering a knee injury at Saturday’s live event in Jonesboro, Arkansas, where he faced Cena. Joe missed the live event on Sunday in Tupelo, Mississippi. Cena ended up facing Bray Wyatt in Tupelo instead.

Meltzer added that the Cena - Reigns confrontation was always the plan for RAW and was not added due to the show being revised.

Cena vs. Reigns isn’t the only big match taking place at the upcoming No Mercy pay-per-view event. WWE has already announced that Brock Lesnar would defend the Universal Title against Braun Strowman in the main event. WWE will be announcing more matches for the event in the coming weeks.
