A One Sided Affair
Most expected Lesnar vs. Cena for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to be a back and forth battle in a tightly contested match. Instead fans were treated to the first showing of Suplex City before Suplex City even had a name.
Following a close call early thanks to an F-5 by Lesnar, it would be the challenger who would German Suplex Cena repeatedly. Each suplex was just as cringe worthy as the one that preceded it.
Cena appeared to be dazed for the entire match thanks to the early onslaught brought on by Lesnar. Even when Cena was able to get in a brief moment of offense, Lesnar would just laugh it off.
For the first time in Cena’s career, he was dominated from bell to bell. At one point it looked like maybe Cena could escape with the win when he applied the STF to Lesnar.
But just like the attempted offense earlier, it would not be enough. Lesnar would escape the STF, and deliver his second F-5 of the match for the win. Just like that, Lesnar was WWE World Heavyweight Champion in one of the most impressive wins in WWE history.
