John Cena defeated Rusev (c) (with Lana) WWE United States Championship 14:31
Early on, Cena dominates the action, however it doesn’t take much time for Rusev to take over control of the match. Rusev dominates on offense for quite a while, with the crowd staying hot throughout the match thus far.
John Cena starts making a comeback, but Rusev cuts him short with a big super kick to the face. The fans start ignoring the action in a sense, as they loudly chant “Let’s go Lana!” over and over again as Lana simply stands outside the ring watching the action like everyone else.
The action continues, however, as Rusev kicks out of the follow-up pin attempt. Rusev blasts Cena with a super kick and then finally manages to lock Cena in the Accolade. The announcers sell the fact that “Cena is fading,” however Cena powers up to his feet and runs into the turnbuckles in the corner backwards, knocking Rusev off of his back.
Now, Cena locks Rusev in his ground submission hold, the STF. Rusev struggles to crawl to the ropes to break the hold, but Cena voluntarily lets it go. Lana is on the apron. Cena is distracted by her. Rusev runs at Cena, but Cena moves and Rusev knocks Lana off the apron. Rusev turns around into an Attitude Adjustment from Cena. 1-2-3. Cena is the new WWE United States Champion and Rusev has lost his first match via pinfall.
Winner and NEW WWE United States Champion: John Cena
