Watch any John Cena match over the past five or so years, and it becomes apparent that several who attend events don't believe the man can wrestle a lick. 'You Can't Wrestle' chants have been levied at Cena many times, even if the guy consistently proves that he's under-rated inside the ring.

Hardly a technical wonder, Cena is nonetheless still a fine performer when aided by the correct kind of opponents. AJ Styles is exactly the kind of man that Cena works well with, something that became evident once again at No Mercy. The WWE Title Triple Threat bout was laden with huge spots, meaning it may have been easy to miss one spectacular move Cena used.

Deftly leaping above AJ's head, Cena caught Styles and wheeled him around in one seamless movement. That's right, John Cena used a Canadian Destroyer during the match. The whole thing happened so quickly, so it's understandable if anyone missed it.

The announcers didn't labour the point either, quickly moving on to other things. As good as AJ's selling was, Cena also played a major part in the success of the move.
