The crowd came alive for this one. Cena came out to a loud mixed reaction (mostly cheers).

Edge gets the advantage early. A 'Cena Sucks' chant starts. Before long you have a loud "Let's Go Cena" – "Cena Sucks" dueling chant.

The first long count when Edge put Cena in a sharpshooter for awhile, and then bumped him out of the ring. Cena got up at 8, and Edge came out of the ring and went to spear Cena into the ring steps, but Cena sidestepped. Cena went to grab Edge, but Edge reversed and whipped Cena into another set of ring steps. Cena got up at 8 and then threw Edge into the ring steps. This is getting ridiculous.

Cena threw Edge back into the ring and threw the ring steps in as well. Edge got the advantage and dropkicked the steel steps into Cena. As Cena was getting up, Edge charged at him and Cena dumped him over the top. Cena grabs the steel steps and throws them onto Edge outside the ring. Edge managed to get up at 8.
