Hour two started with them promoting John Cena and Randy Orton, comparing them to greats in mainstream sports like Manning-Brady. Great video package. Even better, THEY LISTENED and Seth Rollins-Dean Ambrose will close the show.
This one started out quickly, with no stalling. They just went at it from the start with Orton largely in control and Cena trying to fight back. ... The fans did the dueling Cena chants and he started coming back, but Orton again took control with a boot to the head and a scoop slam. Orton went for a DDT off of the second rope but Cena backdropped him to the floor. and then went to work on him, picking him up and ramming Orton on the cage. Orton came back and picked up Cena and rammed him crotch first into the ringpost and then did a neckbreaker on him. Then Orton blasted Cena off of the apron, into the cage and he was back in control for a second until Cena reversed him and started whipping him into the cage repeatedly on the floor. Cena then grabbed a table and the crowd cheered. Cena was a bout to AA him through a table but Orton saw it coming and knocked the table over. He then whipped Cena into a chair that he positioned in the corner earlier. Orton has been in control so much I can't see him holding on here. ... I missed about a minute when the damn picture froze. When we came back to grainy video, Orton set up a table in the corner and was going to throw Cena into it, but Cena came back. Cena started doing his shoulderblock spots and on the second one, Randy hit the RKO out of nowhere for a two. Yes, WWE is well aware of Vine. Then Orton threw Cena threw the table and the picture froze again. He apparently only got a two count. Orton went to the floor and grabbed half of the ring steps. Cena was prone in the middle of the ring. Orton set up the steps in the middle as Cena started to get up. Orton started viping. He went for the RKO but Cena got up and slammed him on the steps. He hit the Shuffle and then set up for the AA. Orton fought out and hit Cena in the nuts, which is legal. ... They started selling that Orton has done it all, what else is left? Orton went for the Punt and missed. Cena locked on the STF in the middle of the ring but Orton made it to the rope. Since they are in the Cell, that doesn't break it, so he kept crawling and broke it when he went through. Cena then lifted the steps up in the ring and threw them at Orton on the floor, but he moved so Cena missed. Back in the ring, Cena got an AA out of nowhere, but only got a two. Cena went for another and Randy hit an RKO out of nowhere (yes, they follow Vine too folks) and he got a two. Cena hit an AA and there was another two. They are selling that both guys are hitting everything but not finishing it off. ... Cen went under the ring and got another table. Cena put Orton on the table stomach first and went up to the top rope. Before he could get there Orton went and stopped him. Orton looked at the table as the fans chanted RKO. Cena was seated on the top and Orton hit him with a headbutt. He went to RKO him from the second one and Cena blocked him. Orton went up to do a Superplex through the table when Cena countered and hit an AA through the table, for the win. Cena gets another title shot at Brock Lesnar. I don't think another match between them will move Network subs, but maybe they have something else planned. The match was outstanding. Both guys worked their asses off and delivered a great bout.
They showed Paul Heyman and he looked concerned.
Big Show told Mark Henry he would get that Russian tonight. The announcers said that they don't care what anyone says, Brock Lesnar is scared of John Cena. Well, I think what they meant was that they are scared that Cena will be the guy that beat the guy that ended the Streak. Sheamus vs. The Miz for the US Title is next.
Mizdow is awesome mimicking Miz on the floor. Sheamus was in control early and Mizdow was great. They could totally set him up to say he is no joke down the line if they book him right. On the floor, Miz hit Dow by accident. But it led to Miz taking control on Sheamus back in the ring. From there they went back and forth, exchanging control. The fans started chanting "Mizdow's awesome". See what I meant earlier about him being able to break away and be something if they listen to the crowd. ... Sheamus laid out Miz and Dow yelled cut. Sheamus had Miz pinned but the ref missed it, after Miz snuck up on him. Miz them hit a Skull Crushing Finale and got a two. He nailed Sheamus with some shots to the head and then came off of the top rope but ate a Brogue Kick and was pinned. Dow came in and laid out next to Miz. Then Sheamus started doing stuff to Miz and Dow copied it. It was really funny and the fans loved it. He had Miz do the YMCA. Dow did it too. Sheamus then did another Brogue and left. ... There was a lot of comedy so it was hard to call it a real match, but the work was solid too.
They showed Brie leaving, as she made a dinner reservation for Nikki. She also had to get her a Smoothie. Nikki made sure she made it just right and then she dumped it on her head. That was for her. The next one is for Nikki, so go get it and bring it to my hotel room (where I guess at 9 p.m. local time she will be eating).
