John Cena (+2)
"A short time ago, in a WWE Universe not so far away, the evil Emperor, John Laurinaitis, convinced the world's largest Jedi to join the Dark Side and become Show Vader. Show Vader then channeled his newfound anger to wage war against the younger, more handsome Jedi John Cenawalker. The two did battle in an epic fight so big it had to be contained in a fifteen foot high Death Star, with the evil Emperor sitting ringside. But not to be outdone and to make sure the match was fair, the old, decrepit, dust-covered Jedi Yoda McMahon sat next to him. The entire galaxy was involved. Jabba the Funkasarus, Han SoBro, Bro-bacca the Woo-Woo-Wookiee. Hell, even R2-Air Ryder and Z-3PO were there. At one point, the battle was so vicious, that Show Vader had Cenawalker in a corner, and breathing heavy as he most often does, said..." [breathing heavily] "'I am your father!' And to be quite honest, that totally weirded me out because I know my dad, and my dad's not Show. So I climbed out of the Death Star as quick as I could, using a maneuver that was easier than bagging womp rats back in Beggar's Canyon, and when I hit the floor, the ancient, old, Jedi Yoda McMahon leaped out of his chair and said to the face of the evil Emperor, 'No chance in hell have you. Fired you are'!"

- John Cena uses Star Wars terminology to describe the outcome of the main event at the 2012 No Way Out WWE Pay Per View
