12. Rusev Says "I Quit" Just After The Bell Rings

Mere seconds after the bell rings and the "I Quit" match between John Cena and Rusev begins, Rusev grabs the mic from referee Mike Chioda and says, "John Cena, half of these people already hate you. Do them all a favour, swallow your American pride and say the words 'I Quit' right now, and I will spare the pain". Of course, when Chioda asks him, he says no. However, think back over what Rusev said, and technically speaking, he said "I Quit" 54 seconds into the match, so if Chioda wanted to be a bit of a troll, he could've just rung the bell and given Cena the win there and then. Hell, it wouldn't have been any more embarrassing than the way Cena buried Rusev at the actual conclusion of the match (but more on that in a moment).
