1. John Cena vs. Kevin Owens (WWE Elimination Chamber)
John Cena is a man often heavily-criticised, but the fact remains that the man can really produce gold when he's in the mood, or maybe more crucially, working against someone motivated who can hide his weaknesses effectively. No, Cena will never be a technical wrestling marvel, but he does understand how to create WWE-style drama, something which is obvious when watching his match at Elimination Chamber against Kevin Owens. Being honest, whilst a lot of more hardcore wrestling fans were excited to see what Owens could achieve in the WWE system, many more casual fans simply didn't have a clue who he was. That was the case right up until his first match against John Cena, who helped make the relative newcomer look like a million bucks right out of the gate. Showing his remarkable agility for a larger athlete, Owens looked like a complete star at Elimination Chamber, and WWE - much to their credit - have continued to portray him as a real threat to more seasoned members of the promotion's main roster. tIn 2015, WWE may still be hearing that they don't push enough wrestlers properly, but they've been brilliant in handling Kevin Owens, allowing him to create in-ring magic such as this against one of the franchise players.
