Joe Tess narrates the tale of the evening nicely - while HHH narrates the video package. Tess talks about Steph being modest and Cody vs. Oba starts! Cody gets dominated before hitting the snap slam and THE CODY CUTTER HITS FOR 2. Febi's atomic whip gets 2. AVALANCHE CODY CUTTER...which looked iffy with Oba having to run into position for it. Drew attacks for a DQ and we get ANOTHER GOOFY CODY CUTTER on Drew before Oba and Cody shake. Sol vs. THE VETERAN BAYLEY is up.
Bayley is out with Lyra to face Sol Ruca and she and Zaria should just be in the tag scene on the main roster. Double backflip headscissors by Ruca! Ruca gets a wacky cradle off a cartwheel DDT gets 2. ROSE PLANT avoided and Bayley eats a flying knee to the jaw! Savage elbow meets knees and the SOL SNATCHER HITS and Bayley rolls out. Victory Roll reversal wins it for Ruca!
Cole gives the guys who have worked with him to call Cena matches Taz a shoutout, JBL, JR and Jerry Lawler all get plugged. Jevon gets a five star for 2 to start the match. OG CUTTER TO AJ! SWANTON 450 HITS FOR 2.9! Lee flip dive on the floor AND LEON AVOIDS THE CLASH and AJ slips on the Forearm and Slater gets 2.5. A Slater dropkick off the top is caught into a Clash to finish it - weird but fun match.
We get a giant video package before Gunther is out to his OG theme again. Cena's WWE debut was something I went out of my way to see despite being told to not watch any TV before an emergency eye surgery and I'm glad SD was taped because that debut gave me something to look forward and hope when I needed it - and 23 years later, I can still see him
Tie-up to start! Gunther outpowers him and slams him down after a CORNER CHOP! Slam and the fist drop, but A CHOP. STFU after the Gunther sleeper and A CHOP AND POWERBOMB but he won't cover. ANOTHER FUCK YOU GUNTHER chant gets muted and really kills the flow of the match. Cena GETS AN AA FOR 2.5! CENA GETS A SLEEPER OUT OF GUNTHER'S SLEEPER! Cena eats a slam on the apron and hits the steps. Gunther sets up the steps to gloat a bit on them before getting called an asshole again. AA THROUGH THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!
AA THROUGH THE TABLE GETS 2.5! DIVING STANDING LEGDROP GETS 2.5! ONE LAST YOU CAN'T SEE ME stopped by a German and a stacking powerbomb for 2.5! AVALANCHE FU GETS 2.9! WUTT! BOO YAY SPOT with Cena doing Claudio's uppercut! AA turned into the powerbomb and a frog splash for 2.5!
SLEEPER but the crowd chants SUPER CENA and the RNC IS ON! LONG sleeper and now it's a kneeling sleeper. DESPERATION AA HITS AND IT'S 2.9! SLEEPER ON AGAIN BY GUNTHER! And the fans chant DON'T GIVE UP! THE ARM GOES DOWN TWICE AND IT'S UP ON 3! AND CENA GIVES UP! He taps out and puts Gunther over to stunned silence...eh I'd have had Cena win it.
HHH ushers everyone down to pay tribute to him and Punk and Cody give him their belts and he really should have won the World too just to have his name on that new lineage and they play a tribute video to him.
