This match was without a doubt a perfect storm of events. Since Brock and Cena had faced each other a few months earlier, having them face one another again ran the risk of the story being rather stale.

Thus, Seth Rollins was entered into the mix, and his ability to sell each and every move as though it was the end for him meant something. Rollins' cavalier and brash character also provided a different dynamic to the match.

The match was bell-to-bell action. Whether it was an attitude adjustment, F5 or pedigree, a number of key moves were used throughout this contest.

After the beating Cena had taken from Lesnar months earlier, one had to wonder if we would see a repeat performance on this evening, but that wasn't the case, it was much more competitive.

One of the concerns was whether or not Lesnar had the conditioning to be a part of a long match. He certainly was prepared, and it got a big reaction from the crowd when he was seemingly taken out and laid on a broken announce table.

But Lesnar sprang up and came into the ring, immediately hitting an unsuspecting Rollins with an F5 for the pin and the win.
