15. John Cena (C) Vs Neville, US Title - May 11 Raw
This was one of the very best television matches of the year, Neville going close to winning John Cena's US title in a thriller on Raw. The pace was fast, with Neville delivering his athletic big spots, pushing Cena to the limit. Both men were selling it wonderfully, and it looked like the underdog had it won after a Red Arrow on the sixteen minute mark. However, Rusev would interfere, costing Neville the match. Still, the bout was so good that the finish could take nothing away from it. The other thing that was refreshing about this match, was it being a first time ever. Raw can feel so repetitive at times, but this was something new and exciting. It left a lasting impression; it would be great to see both men going at it again in a bigger context.
