Randy Orton (c) vs. John Cena
WWE Championship

From the crowd response during the intros, you'd think Orton was the babyface and Cena was the heel. The crowd response, at least early on, is lower than that of the DX match, which was to be expected, and the Mysterio match.

Cena tried some mat wrestling early, which didn't look pretty. Orton went on to control the opening minutes of the match. Crowd is not getting into this match like they should be for a world title match on a major show. There were dueling "Let's Go Cena" – "Let's Go Orton" chants, with the guys going for Orton and the kids and women chanting for Cena. As the match went on, the booes for Cena got louder.

At one point, Orton hit a big DDT on Cena for a two count. Orton then started revving up for an RKO, but Cena wasn't getting up so Orton changed gears for a punt. He missed the punt, and Cena hit a bulldog. As Orton was getting up, Cena climbed to the top rope and hit a flying leg drop on the back of Orton's neck for a two count. He got Orton up for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton held onto the top rope to block it. They proceeded to double clothesline each other.

Back on their feet, they traded blows with the crowd doing the 'YAY' – 'BOO' chants, booing Cena and cheering Orton. Cena hit a back bodydrop on Orton, who knocked the referee down as he was getting up to get himself disqualified. As Orton was heading to the back, Lilian Garcia said that Cena was the new WWE Champion, which was an obvious mistake. She then said that she was informed that Mr. McMahon re-ordered the match to be restarted, and if Orton got DQ'd, he would lose the title.

Orton took control as the match restarted. When Cena was down, Orton grabbed his belt and went to the back to get counted out. Mr. McMahon re-ordered the match to be restarted, and if Orton gets counted out again, he'll lose the title.

The match is restarted and Orton quickly rolls up Cena with his feet on the ropes to get the three count. Another referee came to the ring and explained that Orton had his feet on the ropes. The match is restarted for a third time.

Cena quickly gets Orton into an STF. A fan came into the ring and jumped on the referee, which was a plant. The "fan" was taken to the back, and the match was restarted again. This time Orton hit a RKO and got the three count. Overbooked, but the match was still fun with all the restarts.

Winner and STILL WWE Champion: Randy Orton
