Leading up to this match, Reigns would be seen watching videos of Cena’s matches, and preparing himself accordingly to Cena’s signature moves. Meanwhile, Cena would still do his same old routine about how he respects Reigns as a competitor, but he simply would not give up, no matter how much Reigns has improved. Reigns’ careful studying will have paid off in this match, as Roman would have a counter for every single one of Cena’s moves.

If Cena tried a shoulder tackle, Reigns would throw a punch in Cena’s face. If he did his ‘you can’t see me’ gesture, Reigns would grab Cena’s arm and lock it in an armbar. If Cena locked in the STF, Reigns would roll onto his shoulders, bridge, and try and get a 3-count.

All in all, Reigns would have Cena’s number throughout the match. Meanwhile, Cena would still keep fighting, and would even start to show a bit more aggression than normal.

In the closing moments of the match, John Cena would hit an AA, but it would only get a 2 ½ count. Then, Reigns would deliver a Spear to Cena, but it would get a 2 ¾ count. Finally, Reigns would hoist Cena up with his new finisher, and pin Cena cleanly in the middle of the ring.

1…2…3. New WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns.
