WWE United States Championship Match
John Cena (c) vs. Neville

Result: Match ends in a disqualification.

Rating: 3.2 out of 5 stars

The two begin with a few holds while playing to the raucous crowd. Neville eventually takes advantage with a dropkick as we go to commercial.

Cena took advantage with a couple of takedowns before Neville hit a German Suplex for a near pinfall. Cena would regain momentum with the five-knuckle shuffle and went for the AA, but Neville got out of it. He then hit a nice corkscrew from the second rope for a near fall.

The action would really pick up when Neville got out of an AA and countered it with a big kick for another near fall.

Cena would get Neville into the STF but the Man That Gravity Forgot got out of it. This led to Mr. HLR hitting a vicious clothesline out of frustration.

Cena would then go for another AA and hit it, but Neville got out of it again!

Cena would try to pick up Neville and hit the AA from the top rope, but he countered with a power bomb. Neville would then hit the Red Arrow, but Rusev would come out of nowhere and cause a DQ before the pin.
