John Cena vs Rusev (Flag Match)

Ad

Rusev and Cena’s match actually started off slow than expected. Cena took down Rusev and went to get the flag down. Rusev hit him with an electric chair drop before hitting him with clubbing right hands.

Rusev looked to climb for the Bulgarian Flag but Cena grabbed onto his foot. Rusev threw a couple of careless kicks at Cena before throwing a running shoulder charge in the corner.

Rusev went to climb for the Bulgarian flag once again but Cena stopped Rusev in his tracks. Rusev replied with a vicious DDT. Cena soon replied with a Five Knuckle Shuffle. Cena then attempted an AA but Rusev took him down with a spinebuster before tossing him out of the ring.

Rusev was inches away from the Bulgarian flag when Cena knocked him down. Cena then leaped off the top rope at Rusev who caught him in a seamless powerbomb before climbing up once again and finally reaching the Bulgarian Flag and getting it off.

Cena hit him with a dropkick as soon as he turned around and followed it up with an AA for good measure. Cena then reached for the American Flag once again but Rusev knocked him off the turnbuckle Cena replied by locking in an STF and Rusev tapped – not that it was worth anything in a flag match.

As Rusev headed up the ramp, Cena caught him by the foot before getting up and sending him into the LED boards. Rusev replied with a Fallaway Slam on the stage. Rusev then set up two tables on the entrance ramp.

Rusev stopped Cena in his tracks as he tried to plant the American flag before locking in an Accolade on Cena. Rusev looked to have won as he was about to plant the Bulgarian flag but Cena stopped him at the last moment. Cena then hit Rusev with an AA through the tables before pinning Cena for the win.
