10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About Night Of Champions
6. Undermining The New Champion (2014)
At SummerSlam 2014, Brock Lesnar - who was fresh off a WrestleMania victory over The Undertaker - obliterated John Cena to win the WWE World Championship. It was one of the most one-sided main events in WWE history, as Lesnar gave Cena 16 German suplexes before pinning him with an F5. Apart from a few brief hope spots, Cena had no virtually offense.
Still, Cena was entitled to a rematch, and he spent the month between SummerSlam and Night of Champions vowing not to get destroyed again. When the time for the battle came, Cena was certainly more competitive than at SummerSlam. He stayed on Brock, hitting numerous Attitude Adjustments and continually trying to lock in the STF. Lesnar, meanwhile, kept trying to hook the Kimura.
The match wasn't bad, but the finish was. As Cena hit the fourth Attitude Adjustment of the match and covered Lesnar, Money in the Bank briefcase holder Seth Rollins ran in, striking Cena with the case for the DQ. He then tried to cash in on Brock, but Cena attacked him.
Just a month after picking up the most dominant main-event win in WWE history, Brock was made to look like it was only luck that prevented him from losing the title right back to Cena. It's hard to suspend disbelief when the company can't even maintain an internal consistency.
