Springboard stunner aside, John Cena and Seth Rollins went to the limit in what appeared to be a game of Can You Top This? Sunday night. The two champions hit top rope leaps, dives, power moves and broke out some unconventional offense during their title-for-title match. Cena used a figure-four leglock for what might be the first time in addition to a top rope legdrop and a couple good power moves. Rollins, who must have been watching NXT Takeover: Brooklyn closely Saturday night, decided to pull out all of the stops. The WWE World Heavyweight Champion hit repeated dives, a tope con hilo, a running Shooting Star Press, a Frogsplash, and a superplex floated into a Falcon Arrow. It was quite the display from a guy who also missed an attempt at a Phoenix Splash. In addition to all of these moves, both men really put together a great match. Cena has been on a roll since WrestleMania, having superb matches almost weekly, while Rollins has had a few outstanding ones himself and is perfectly capable of wowing a crowd. The result was something that measured up in terms of quality.
