I Quit Match — WWE U.S. Title
– John Cena (c) vs. Rusev
A cool video package plays hyping up the circumstances leading into tonight’s WWE Payback pay-per-view between John Cena and Rusev. With that said, Rusev makes his way out. Out next to a mixed-bag reaction is John Cena.
The fans loudly chant “Let’s Go Cena!” and “Cena sucks!” back-and-forth. Rusev tells Cena half the fans already hate him. He offers Cena the option to say he quits now to spare him the pain. Cena answers by attacking Rusev.
We’re off and running and it doesn’t take long before Rusev is in control. The fans chant “We Want Lana” so Rusev gets mad and leaves the ring and forces Lana to sit in a folding chair at the opposite end of the ring.
Twice now the referee has asked Cena if he wants to quit. The first time, Cena simply knocked the mic away. The second time, Cena said no. It happens a third time and Cena ignores it again, The fans begin their “We Want Lana” chants again.
There’s a lot of near quit spots with both guys refusing to quit no matter what, including Cena AA’ing Rusev into the stage where pyro exploded and then shot off like a bomb and Cena was suplexed into a giant section of unpadded steel barricade laid out diagnolly on the ring apron.
Rusev ends up choking Cena with The Accolade until he passes out. He celebrates like he won but the ref says he has to say I Quit. Rusev throws a fit and goes over and completely unscrews the top rope from around the entire ring.
Rusev goes to blast Cena with the turnbuckle steel from the top rope he unhooked, but Cena reverses and slaps Rusev in the STF, with the top rope around his throat. The referee asks if he quits. Rusev screams in Russian a lot but nothing happens. Finally, Lana grabs the mic freaking out telling the referee that he’s saying he quits. The bell sounds. Cena wins and retains the U.S. title.
Winner and STILL WWE U.S. Champion: John Cena
