7 Times John Cena Did Actually Give Up

6. vs Edge - Last Man Standing (Backlash 2009)

Much like the previous instance, this entry should probably have an asterisk next to it. Having lost his World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania XXV, Edge would challenge Cena for the gold the following month at Backlash. In what would ultimately prove to be the final chapter of this particular rivalry, Vicke Guerrero added a Last Man Standing stipulation for good measure. You can probably see where this one€™s going, as it was once again an outside interference that rendered Cena unable to continue. This time the Big Show was the culprit, emerging from the back and Chokeslamming the champion off of the stage and into a giant spotlight€”which seemingly proceeded to explode from the impact. Unsurprisingly, and just like at Vengeance 2011, Cena wasn€™t able to answer the resultant ten-count. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLeKDGw5kBI There was a slight difference on this occasion though. Though Cena had Edge on his shoulders at the time of the Big Show€™s intrusion, it was arguable that the Rated-R Superstar had been in the ascendency. A DDT onto the stage, followed by a vicious concerto, had left Cena seconds away from a rare, clean defeat. Thus Edge may well have been able to win without the added help, but either way€”another €œinvoluntary submission€ from the Leader of the Cenation.
