who won between john cena and the rock?
the rock
in the main event, the rock defended the wwe championship against john cena. after the bell rang, cena struck first before the rock seized control of the match and halted cena’s momentum by sending him scrambling outside the ring to regroup within the bout’s opening moments. the match went on while the rock had control by striking cena with blows and punches. cena then locked the rock into an crossface, but the rock countered into a pin for a 2-count. cena then locked the rock in an stf, but the rock powered out. the rock then executed a rock bottom on cena but only for a 2-count. cena then performed an aa on the rock, but only got a 2-count. the rock soon delivered a people's elbow on cena for another 2-count. cena soon went for a second aa, but the rock countered into a second rock bottom for a 2-count yet again. a frustrated rock nearly fell into the same trap cena did the year before when he taunted cena with cena's own "you can't see me" taunt before going for a second people's elbow, however cena caught the rock and delivered a second aa for another near-fall. the rock soon went for a third rock bottom, but cena countered and executed a rock bottom instead for a nearfall. cena then tried to sucker the rock into a third aa by faking a people's elbow attempt, the same mistake that cost cena the match the last year. however, when cena went for the third aa, the rock countered into a third rock bottom for another 2 count. afterwards, both john cena and the rock went for an aa and a rock bottom respectively. this continued until the rock delivered a ddt on cena. but instead of pinning cena, rock instead went for a gts and cena countered with a third aa to win the match and the title. after the match, rock and cena shook hands and hugged each other and rock praised cena as the new wwe champion, and raised his hand on the top of the stage.
