youtube-cover

AJ Styles is welcomed by the crowd, while John Cena is greeted by boos as chants of ‘John Cena Sucks’ rings out. Styles dominates proceedings at the start after he dropkicks his opponent. Cena tries to fight back with an Attitude Adjustment off the ring apron, which is countered by his opponent, who sends the Cenation leader crashing back first on the mat outside of the ring.

Cena finally counters as he back body drops Styles before following it with a Snap Suplex. After some more back and forth, Cena is able to shoulder-block his opponent to nail the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He then tries to hit the Attitude Adjustment, which reversed into the Pelle kick from Styles, followed by Styles Clash, but Cena kicks out from the resulting pin.

Cena then tries to assert his domination on the clash by hitting Styles with an AA, but the latter kicks out sending the crowd into a frenzy. Styles then reverses Cena’s attempts of another AA from the turnbuckle by reversing it into torture rack, but Cena fight backs with an RKO lookalike.

Styles then hits Cena with a modified Attitude Adjustment, but Cena kicks out from the pin only to be hit by the Springboard 450. The Phenomenal One then nails the German Suplex and the Facebuster but Cena kicks out once again. Cena then tries to lock Styles into an STF, which is reversed into a crossface submission by the Phenomenal One. Cena tries to get back to his feet but is caught into the Calf Crusher by his opponent.

Cena then reverses, again, to get the STF bang on in the middle of the ring, but AJ is able to roll-up Cena who kicks out. Styles follows it with an Enzuigiri, but Cena returns the favour with a Tornado DDT. Cena then hits the leg drop from the top rope, which leads to another near fall. Cena’s attempts of a Suplex from the top rope is reversed by AJ, who lands the Hurricarana before following it with a Phenomenal Forearm.

After some more to and fro, Cena then lands the Attitude Adjustment from the top-rope, but miraculously AJ kicks out of the pin. Cena’s next attempt to follow it with another AA is reversed into a Styles Clash by AJ, who follows it up with a Phenomenal Forearm to pin Cena for a clean win.
