On the June 27, 2002 edition of SmackDown, Kurt Angle made his way to the ring. The Olympic Gold Medalist showed a renewed edge, stripping himself of his comedic wig and headgear which he wore after having his head shaved by Edge. Angle was embarrassed no more; in fact, he was driven to show everyone what “ruthless aggression” was about. To this end, he issued an open challenge to anyone he’s never wrestled before, claiming it would make them a sensation just like him. Angle was ready to compete, no matter who stepped through the curtain.

That individual was John Cena, sporting red and black trunks in addition to a determined disposition. Confused, Angle asked who this man was, to which Cena replied with his own name. Angle’s confusion turned to bemusement as he asked, “what is the one quality that you possess that makes you think that you can walk out here and come into the ring and face the very best in the business?” With intensity to his voice, Cena growled, “ruthless aggression,” following up with a left hand across Angle’s face. The young upstart was driven and it was evident that Angle wasn’t ready for such an explosive new opponent.
