Owens was on commentary for this.
- Dueling chants against Cena started right off the bat as the two locked up.
- Cesaro began with a power slam for a near-fall.
- Cena would pick up Cesaro for an AA but got countered. Cesaro then picked him up for a gut wrench suplex.
- Cesaro hit a few big uppercuts and a big boot for another near-fall.
- Cena came back with a standing dropkick but got stomped on multiple times.
- We come back to see Cesaro nearly picking up a pin on Cena. He goes to put him into a sharpshooter but got reversed. This set up Cena for a five-knuckle shuffle, missed and got taken down by Cesaro for a near-fall.
- Cena would get out of a Cesaro Swing and hit a springboard stunner for a near-fall.
- Cena went for the AA but Cesaro got out of hit. He then threw Cena into the air for a huge uppercut to nearly win.
- Cena would slip an STF on him but Cesaro reversed it into a shaprtshooter. Mr. HLR got to the ropes, though.
- Cesaro would then hit a huge suplex off the second rope! This match is incredible.
- Cena then got out of an Irish whip and connected with a big tornado DDT for another near-fall.
- After an attempted cross-body, Cena countered it and hit big face plant for another near-fall.
- During the match, Owens got off commentary and yelled at Michael Cole, giving him a “warning.”
- Back in the ring Cesaro went for a Neutralizer, which Cena countered.
- Cesaro then hit the Neutralizer! But Cena kicked out.
- Cesaro then got Cena up for the Swing! He then put the sharpshooter on. Owens would get up and club Cesaro, though, to cause a DQ.
Rob’s Note: The finish is perfectly fine because Owens is the only man who can pull something like that off.
However, this match was absolutely incredible. Maybe not as good as Cena/Owens I and II but it’s right behind them. Have these two wrestle every week!
