GO CENA!!!!! wasnt sure if he was gonna pull it off, he acted like the injury was still bothering him and seemed to be alittle scared to get on the top rope, he just didnt seem to be him. maybe alittle rusty in ring but we will see tomorrow/following weeks
Definitely wasn't expecting him to win, especially after Edge made the surprise return to win the WWE title..It'll be interesting to see what the next big PPV title match is..Fatal Fourway or that sort..
