-- Roddy Piper's advertised appearance to host Piper's Pit with John Cena focused on Piper trying to get Cena to acknowledge and hear the audience that boos him. Piper slapped Cena at the end of the segment to "wake him up," but Cena shook it off and left the ring. Also in the segment, Cena said he won't let the boos affect him when he faces The Rock at WrestleMania and vowed to win the match.
