[05-22-2005] John Cena vs JBL (I Quit Match)

-

 


I got the idea to watch every John Cena PPV main event and rank them. I don't know what the general consensus on Cena is anymore, but I'd say generally I'm pretty high on him, although there are matches of his, the Umaga one comes to mind, that I don't love as much as most. So here goes nothing.

Cena just beat JBL for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania the month before, so this is his first defense in his first PPV main event, so it's a big spot for Big Match John. Things start slow but escalate quickly. JBL chokes Cena with a belt, JBL takes a massive back body drop through the announce table, JBL brains Cena with a chair, and Cena comes up just gushing blood. JBL is great here playing a giant prick. He's eating the shit out of Cena, but he knows Cena won't quit, certainly not from any sort of pain Bradshaw is going to inflict, so he basically tries to reason with him. Cena won't quit but maybe he will if Bradshaw's gonna end his rap career, his movie career, or any future he has. JBL tries to run, Cena chases him and they end up brawling near some AV equipment. One thing leads to another, JBL chokes Cena with an extension cord, Cena throws JBL through a tube TV, and now Bradshaw's bleeding too. JBL gets thrown through a window of his limo, suplexed on the roof, and takes two nasty bumps into a car door. JBL is taking a beating here. Edge gets a lot of cred for making Cena, and we'll see if that's true, but boy JBL is getting the tar beat out of him here. Let's Go Cena chants as JBL chokes him with another chord of some sort, and no Cena Sucks refrain. JBL takes a bump off the top of a stack of speakers through a table. Cena rips the exhaust stack off of a truck and goes to attack JBL with it, and JBL quits. It's a bit anti-climactic, but JBL points to his head, giving off the idea that he lost, but he's smart enough to know he can't win and things are only going to get worse from here. Cena hits him the pipe anyway, sending JBL through a sheet of plate glass for good measure. Cena poses with the spinner belt and we are off the air.

Real good stuff here, but a much more impressive outing for JBL than Cena. Now, Cena is over like crazy here, and I'm sure JBL wouldn't have been so giving if Cena wasn't a mega-star in the making, but boy does he take some kind of beating. 

BIG MATCH JOHN

[04-30-2006] John Cena vs Triple H vs Edge

John Cena beat Triple H at Wrestlemania, but only because Triple H underestimated him, at least according to Triple H. He wants a rematch, but Edge won at WrestleMania, so he wants a shot at Cena. So, they both get a match with the champion at Backlash. Edge dips out early to let Triple H and Cena fight it out, and they are happy to oblige. Cena gets the advantage early, covers HHH, but Edge slips in the ring to break it up, and then pops right back out. The same thing happens when Triple H goes for a cover. Triple H and Cena are slugging it out, with Edge cheering them on from the apron. Eventually, they grow tired of Edge's shtick and team up to go after the Rated R Superstar. From here, we get a series of the guys coupling off, first Triple H and Edge, then Cena and Edge, and then Triple H and Edge. typical triple threat fair, with nothing much of note except for Cena hitting a top rope splash on Edge. Edge grabs Triple H is a sleeper and Cena slides in the rings, picks both up

[08-20-2006] John Cena vs Edge

  We've chronicled most of this feud up to this point. Edge cashed in the Money in the Bank in January, and Cena reclaimed the title at Royal Rumble. We didn't see Edge winning the title on Raw in a triple threat with Cena and RVD in July, but Cena had RVD beat until Edge stole the pin. After that, our last installment, Edge got Disqualified at Saturday Night's Main Event. Since then, Edge had sex on TV and slapped Cena's dad, bringing us here, Cena challenging Edge in Boston and if Edge gets DQ'ed, he loses the title.  Cena comes out ultra-confident and Edge is not, he knows Cena has his number and that, in some ways, the deck is stacked against him due to the stipulation, on top of this match being in Cena's backyard. All Cena early until Edge throws him into the ring post and takes over. Edge seems to think his best chance of winning is to have Cena counted out, and he attempts that feat twice to no avail. On the second 9 count, the Anti-Cena crowd really sho

[01-01-2022] Big E vs Bobby Lashley vs Seth Rollins vs Kevin Owens vs Brock Lesnar - WWE: Day 1

  Roman got COVID, so WWE threw Brock Lesnar in a Fatal 4-Way, and proceeded to have a 5-way hoss sprint. It ruled. Just non-stop big moves, all gas no brakes. Brock starts spamming suplexes, especially throwing some brutal ones on Kevin Owens. Big E dumps Brock out of the ring. Lashley brains E on the ring post then spears Brock through the barricade. Owens and Rollins, non-hosses, team up to try and match meat with Lashley and the Brock. That brings us to the plunder portion, Ring steps, the top of the announce table, all leading to Big E hitting a uranage on Lashley through the table. Seth and KO take over again on Brock and then E. Big E gets the knees up on Owens' Moonsault but Rollins follows right up with a Frog splash. Seth goes to Stomp Brock, but no. Brock F-5s him, then E, then KO, Brocks primal, and then he eats a Lashley spear. Hurt Lock on Brock, Big breaks it up, Big Ending on Lashley, F-5 on Big E and Brock is the new champ.  I don't know what Roman-Brock was su
