Finn Balor vs. John Cena (Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match)

It was finally time for the main event and boy oh boy, wasn't it a dream match or what!

Cena vs. Balor for the first time ever! Both the real top guys made their entrances and the match kicked off with both jockeying for position.

The fans seemed distracted as the reception for a match of this caliber felt flat. Nonetheless, Cena was the heel in this match as the fans were firmly behind Balor. Balor kept getting the better of Cena but the Cenation leader kept the pressure up. He went for the five-knuckle shuffle and followed it up with an attempted AA, but Balor countered with an overhead kick.

The fans jeered Cena as he just kept saying he wanted to go to WrestleMania. Cena playing to the crowd as a heel here could be signs of things to come on the road to WrestleMania.

The 16-time World Champion finally landed the perfect AA. Pinfall! 1...2....KICKOUT! Balor Kicked out!

Balor got up, went for the Coupe De Grace, but missed and landed badly on his knee. Cena locked in the STF but Balor managed to break it up.

Cena then went for the super Avalanche AA, connected and successfully pinned The Demon King clean.

A surprising end considering Balor was expected to win here. What was even more surprising were Cena's reaction all through the match. He seemed out of sorts, so did the Philly fans. That was an awkwardly booked main event to end a decent show.

In case you missed it, Braun Strowman, John Cena and Elias are confirmed for the men's match while the slots for the Women's match will be filled in upcoming weeks.
