John Cena: 5 Awesome Matches And 5 That Sucked

3. John Cena Vs Brock Lesnar, Extreme Rules Match - (Extreme Rules 2012)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAtJ0Spx62E It was a huge pop moment when Brock Lesnar returned in 2012 to F5 John Cena. The loathing of Cena was intense, and Lesnar was coming in with a fearsome notoriety following a wildly successful run in the UFC. 'The Beast' had drew over a million buys at his peak in MMA, and facing the WWE franchise star was as big as it gets. This was one of those rare encounters outside of Wrestlemania that really is box office gold. The promos and intensity going in were fantastic, but could Cena really get a good match out of Lesnar? The MMA star had been out of the ring for over half a decade, ring rust was a major concern. Showing how far he has developed as a worker, Cena helped carry Brock to one of the best matches of 2012. It felt special, there was even blood. Lesnar mostly pounded Cena, who sold like a pro, and the use of weapons added considerable drama to the match. The shocking finish saw Cena pin Lesnar following an AA on the steel steps. It was surprising. WWE had a huge draw on their hands with Lesnar, he should have remained undefeated for a while, the pin hurt Brock. Nevertheless, the result didn't take away from a match that is still talked about today as a classic.
