3. John Cena Uses Figure Four
Before John Cena vs. Seth Rollins, it was mentioned that the former wanted to win his 16th World Title in WWE. Of course, the most famous man to hoist 16 World Titles above his head is 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair. It was said that if Cena could beat Rollins, he'd match Flair's record and cement his place in history. That fact made one particular spot completely awesome. Locking on a Figure Four Leg Lock, John Cena begged his opponent to tap out. For just a brief second, fans seemed to believe that it was about to happen. It would have been quite poignant for Cena to win the title using the move, because it's one synonymous with Ric Flair. As it transpired, the Figure Four didn't factor into the ending sequence. Seth Rollins would pick up the win and become co-holder of the WWE World Heavyweight and United States Titles. That's huge news for the man, but he did a terrific job of selling the danger of the Figure Four.
