Winner:
Maria via pinfall. Santino's fist biting reaction is priceless. As well as his smiling while he raises Maria's hand then grimacing whenever she's not looking. Awesome reaction shots.
(6) Randy Orton vs. John Cena – Special Guest Referee: Triple H. (If Cena wins, he is added to the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania)
Randy Orton v John Cena
Special referee is Triple H. Orton gets in a quick closed fist and continues along those lines with repeated punches. HHH lets it go. Cena figures he might as well punch too but Orton catches him with a dropkick out of nowhere. Cena gets knocked off the apron and bounces off the announce table. H's is reluctant to start counting as we head into the ad break. We return with Cena getting fired up and he elbow drops Orton for 2. H's cadence is normal. He's just ignoring most of the rules. They head outside and Orton wants a weapon but Cena bounces his face off the announce table instead as a receipt. Heading back inside Orton gets his rope DDT but Cena landed flat off it. Pin gets 2. "RKO" chant is growing. Cena fires up again but gets caught in a loose powerslam. Orton with the Garvin Stomp. He specifically aims at the ankle, which was a target last night. Orton with a headlock but Cena back suplexes out. Boo's from the Cena haters once more. Cena misses a corner charge and gets rolled up for 2. That wasn't terribly clean either. Cena fires away with punches to booing. Shoulderblocks and Cena is getting no height on those suggesting his ankle really is hurt. Five Knuckle Shuffle. Orton grabs the ropes to avoid the FU and hangs Cena up on the ropes. Outside and Orton uses the environment by whipping Cena into the steps. That leads to Orton's stalking. Cena sells it and slowly gets up. RKO blocked into the STFU. H's is down to check. Orton tries to break the grip but can't. He edges over towards the ropes like he did last night. H's remains neutral. Orton just barely gets the rope. H's points out to Cena he was a little slow to release the hold. Cena eyeballs him but Orton charges into an FU for the loss.
Winner: John Cena via pinfall. *1/2. An unusual misstep for these guys. Loose and sloppy at times and had none of their usual chemistry.
POST MATCH H's shows his cerebral assassin mentality by jumping Cena and Pedigreeing him. Because Orton is lying around doing nothing he gets a Pedigree too. H's poses with the belt.
It's Randy Ortin vs. Triple H vs. John Cena for the WWE title at Mania.
