Following the main event of Night of Champions, John Cena was interviewed backstage to talk about the outcome of the match.

Cena played up the storyline of Seth Rollins interfering, which he described as a "stupid decision," and coming up short against WWE World Hvt. champion Brock Lesnar. Cena hinted at another match against Lesnar, but also focused on Rollins next up on his radar.

Cena's monologue with backstage interviewer Tom Phillips: "So close. A second felt like a year out there. A match with Brock is different than anything, and I know what it's like to come out on the losing end. I don't think Seth Rollins has any idea how foolish he is.

"I told him face-to-face I would give him first dibs at a championship shot, but he doesn't know what pinning Brock Lesnar is all about. That is the stupidest, stupidest decision I have ever seen with anyone with that briefcase and I rank pretty high in that category.

"But, a good athlete or coach doesn't blame anyone. I didn't get it done. Bottom line, I didn't get it done. I was close. I was a lot closer. I guess in that category you measure improvement not necessarily by getting your hand raised, but by a better performance. It's so much tougher than Summerslam; I lost at Summerslam. I won by disqualification tonight. That's it. It's tough."
