Lashley competed for the majority of the match as the heels rained blow upon blow upon the man. He would tag in John Cena who would pick up the win with the sixth move of doom. However, he did not take any bumps during the contest.
The heart of the matter
John Cena is currently in the middle of filming 'Project X' with legendary action movie star, Jackie Chan. Cena had a different haircut and look because of his film commitments. Moreover, he had assured the filmmakers that he would indulge in limited physical activity, according to the rumour mills. Which is why his involvement in the match was minimal.
According to the said rumour, Cena has to fly back to China to finish the film and could not take the risk of getting injured during the course of the said match.
What's next?
John Cena cut a heartfelt promo after the match and assured us that he would never forget where he originally came from. He seemed very emotional and overwhelmed by the reception he got from the WWE Universe. It is quite clear that his WWE days are not yet over.
