#4 John Cena vs Kevin Owens- Money in the Bank 2015

Watching this back, it's crazy to see how far Kevin Owens has fallen in the space of just three years.

Owens' debut on WWE television was one of the most explosive in recent memory, with the then NXT champion coming out to challenge John Cena during one of his US title open challenge segments.

The match itself had neither the US or the NXT title on the line, with Owens claiming that he didn't care about taking the US belt from Cena.

What followed was one of the best WWE debut matches of all time, with Owens picking up the surprise victory over John Cena. Unfortunately, Cena would then go on to get revenge against Owens on consecutive PPVs, but this was still an incredible debut from the former ROH star.
