Carlito vs. John Cena (c)
Big Apple Showdown
Referee: Michael Chioda
The music of WWE Champion John Cena hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring to a somewhat mixed reaction from the crowd here in New York City. We see footage of three weeks ago on RAW when Randy Orton distracted Cena to allow Carlito to pick up a win over the WWE Champion. Carlito then went on to spit apple in the face of Cena. Carlito then made his way to the ring, and we are set to go.
The start:
Cena and Carlito locked up and Cena took Carlito down with a double leg and then hammered away at him. Cena sent Carlito the ropes and hit a big shoulder. Cena whipped Carlito to the corner and worked him over and then hit a stiff clothesline to send Carlito to the outside. Carlito grabbed a chair from ringside and went to get in the ring with it. The referee grabbed the chair and Cena went after Carlito, but Carlito got him in the ropes and kicked him in the head sending him to the floor as we go to commercial.
The Finish:
Back from commercial and Carlito is in control of Cena with right hands in the middle of the ring. Carlito sent Cena to the corner but Cena reversed and charged in, but Carlito hit a high elbow. Cena came back with the Throwback and then went to the top rope and came off with a guillotine leg drop to the bent over Carlito. Cena then locked in the STFU and Carlito tapped out.
, the WWE Champion, John Cena
Winner
The Aftermath:
Randy Orton hit the ring and attacked Cena from behind. Orton sent Cena hard into the ring steps and then paced back and fourth like a crazed man. Orton saw the chair that almost came into use earlier, and set it up. Orton stalked Cena as if he was going to go for the RKO. Cena took a long time to get up and Orton went over to him and then gave him a running RKO on to the steel chair! That was sick! The announcers put over whether Cena would even make it to Summerslam as we see a shot of the deformed chair. Some fans chanted "Randy Orton" while the women and children chanted "Sucks!" The Legend Killer has left the WWE Champion in a sorry state here. Orton stands over Cena as the referee's try to get him to back off as we go to commercial. This was a really good angle.
Moments Ago:
When we come back, we take a look at what just went down between Randy Orton and John Cena. The announcers put it over as a diabolical and demonic attack by Orton.
Backstage:
Randy Orton is shown in the back and Todd Grisham says what he just did was brutal. Orton said he sent Cena a message, and it was loud and clear. John Cena has just seen the beginning of what he will get from Orton. It was three years ago at Summerslam when Orton became the youngest World Champion, and this year he will become the WWE Champion.
