Tuesday 29 August 2017 07:07, UK
John Cena and Roman Reigns went face to face as their 'dream match' at No Mercy was officially signed off.
The pair traded verbal blows on RAW before signing the contract confirming their showdown, live on Sky Sports Box Office in the early hours of September 25.
Reigns criticised Cena for being part-time and 'burying young talent to stay on top', while Cena retorted by insisting Reigns isn't as good as he thinks he is.

It was rumoured the pair were being lined up for a match at Wrestlemania but WWE bosses have clearly decided to cash-in on the interest now before Cena leaves to film a Transformers spin-off.
Alexa Bliss is the new RAW Women's Champion after knocking off Sasha Banks in RAW's main event.
Banks had only held the title for eight days after beating Bliss at SummerSlam and the defeat continues her run of never being able to successfully defend the belt.
Bliss' joy was short lived, however, as Nia Jax came down to the ring after the match seemingly to congratulate the new champion before slamming her into the mat.
Brock Lesnar had a three-word message for Braun Strowman ahead of their huge clash at No Mercy.
'Suplex City, b***h' was his short statement to the challenger to his Universal Championship after Strowman attacked Lesnar last week.
Jeff Hardy is the No 1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship after winning a 15-man battle royal.
The veteran will face The Miz next week on RAW but Finn Balor will have a right to feel aggrieved.
The Irish superstar was thrown over the top rope by Bray Wyatt, who wasn't even in the match, as their SummerSlam feud continues into autumn.
