#3 John Cena vs. Kevin Owens – Elimination Chamber 2015
Trending
For whatever reason, WWE never reminds us of just how impactful Kevin Owens' debut actually was. Which defies belief, because Owens looked like a massive star that night and was presented in exactly the manner that a man of his considerable talents should be.
Owens had spent weeks verbally and physically assaulting John Cena, having initially confronted him on an episode of RAW, before they collided in the ring at Elimination Chamber. While still the NXT Champion, Owens impressively made his main roster debut against Cena, the biggest star in the company and US Champion.

Neither title was on the line, merely pride, and KO managed to come through with what is arguably still his best WWE match. The match was a high drama spotfest, with Owens delivering a number of crazy moves to Cena, and both men kicking out of each other's finishers.
Although Owens had been allowed to look strong against Cena in the period leading up to Elimination Chamber, nobody truly believed he had a chance of winning. So, when Cena was flattened with a second Pop-Up Powerbomb and pinned, the crowd went absolutely crazy, barely able to comprehend what they'd just witnessed.
Ultimately, however, due to Cena's utter domination of Owens from that point onward, the Canadian's barnstorming debut has been largely forgotten about. This match was rated 4.5 by Dave Meltzer, an impressive number and the highest for a main roster debuting star in Owens.
