John Cena's Best WWE Matches Ever (... According To The Internet)
8. John Cena Vs. Kevin Owens, Money In The Bank 2015 -- Rating: 9.01
It's hard to say what was more shocking -- reigning NXT Champion Kevin Owens debuting on Raw to confront John Cena (and leaving him laying), or Owens scoring a clean victory over Cena when the two met at the 2015 Elimination Chamber event. Though neither Owens's NXT belt or Cena's United States Championship were on the line, Owens became a star overnight.
However, there was no way that the two men were finished with one another. Cena got his rematch two weeks later at Money in the Bank, and this time, he had a better idea of what to expect from "The Prizefighter." That didn't mean victory would be easy, though. Owens took an early advantage and made use of his athletic and unorthodox offense to dazzle Cena. While Cena emerged victorious, it took three Attitude Adjustments for him to score the pinfall.
After the match, Cena extended a hand to Owens out of respect. However, the NXT Champion attacked Cena with a Pop-up Powerbomb and then posed with the U.S. Championship, indicating that he wanted a shot at the title.
