Cena got in the ring to a chorus of boos.
Cena got several moves on Miz, but the crowd chanted "you still suck!" and then chanted for "Rocky." Truth came in and shoved Cena then tried for a fancy move. Cena exploded back with his shoulder tackles and then prepared for 5 Knuckle Shuffle. He did the "You Can't See Me" in Rock's face, so Rock got in the ring to stare at Cena. As Cena turned back around he got blasted by a Truth clothesline. Awesome Truth took control from there.
