When Rhodes and Cena made their entrances, the crowd was hot. “Let’s go, Cena, Cena Sucks” chants were heard throughout the crowd at Allegiant Stadium. Cena got off to a slow start, and Rhodes dominated the match.
Cena had a new, unique style in the ring with his heel persona. He used a bunch of new kicks that we have never seen in Cena’s offensive arsenal before. Cena started to take over in this match as Rhodes couldn’t get going. Throughout this match, Cena moved at a much more mythical pace than usual. Rhodes was fired up and hit Cena with a Cody Cutter to regain momentum.
The referee was knocked out, which led to Rhodes not getting a count on Cena. Cena then hit Rhodes on the exposed turnbuckle multiple times but could not get the pin. Travis Scott’s music hit, and he came out to support Cena. Rhodes took out Scott, and then Cena tried to hit Rhodes with the championship. Cena finally took out Rhodes with the title, leading to him covering up Rhodes to win the title.
