Ranking Every “I Quit” Match in WWE History
4. John Cena vs. Randy Orton: Breaking Point 2009
John Cena and Randy Orton have fought each other in just about every match imaginable. Hell in a Cell, Iron Man, TLC; you name it, they've likely faced off in it.
At SummerSlam 2009, Orton was successful in retaining his WWE Championship against Cena, but not without controversy. It was only after interference from a fan (later revealed to be Brett DiBiase) that Orton was able to walk away with the win, setting up a rematch for the inaugural Breaking Point pay-per-view.
As one could tell from the name of the show, all three of the night's main events were contested under some sort of submission rules with Orton and Cena competing in an "I Quit" match. With no disqualifications or count-outs, this allowed Orton to take his rival to his absolute limit, but despite all the gruelling punishment The Viper dished out, Cena refused to quit.
The pair of handcuffs Orton brought into the bout were eventually used against him. With the key out of Orton's reach, Cena locked in the STF and choked him with his own handcuffs, forcing him to give up and relinquish his WWE title.
