Triple H vs John Cena
They stare at each other face to face and lock up. Commentary is pushing this main event as one of the biggest in company history (yup keep trying). Cena takes Triple H down, but the game gets back up and smashes Cena with a big right. Cena answers back with a few of his own. Cena hits a shoulder block, which is quickly telegraphed with a high knee. The action spills to the outside after Triple H is sent to the mats.

Back from the break, Cena throws Triple H with a hip toss and fisherman’s suplex. Triple H answers with two backbreakers and a suplex of his own. After a very slow and boring punching contest, Cena hits two shoulder blocks and a 5 knuckle shuffle –crowd boos. An attitude adjuster is attempted, but Triple H counters and connects with a knee to the skull. Triple H hits a spinebuster and misses the Pedigree but locks on a sleeper. After sometime, Cena reverses the sleeper and we revert back to the punching contest.
Cena with a float over neckbreaker, he goes to the top and misses the leg drop. Cena tries an attitude adjuster, but Triple H gets out and we see a school boy attempt, but not even a one count.
