Ranking Every Ambulance Match In Wrestling History From Worst To Best

3. John Cena vs. Kane (WWE Elimination Chamber 2012)

In retrospect, the Ambulance Match between Kane and John Cena at Elimination Chamber 2012 only existed so that Cena could sell another t-shirt. The 'Rise Above Hate' message emblazoned on the shirt he wore to the ring was explained as one Kane despised in the lead-up to the show.

Even though they went over 20 minutes and really tried to make this match great, Cena vs. Kane shouldn't have headlined the pay-per-view. One of the titular Chamber matches should've been in that spot instead, but this was all about preparing Cena for a WrestleMania match with The Rock. The result was therefore a formality.

The most impressive bump came when Kane took an Attitude Adjustment from atop the ambulance onto to some equipment close by; although it's safe to assume the landing area was padded, the spot still looked cool. After that, Cena loaded Kane in the ambulance and celebrated a result that was never really in doubt.
