Championship Match Tables, Ladders and
Chairs Match Referee: Michael Chioda
John Cena vs. Edge (c)
No
Lita with Edge, who got a monster pop coming out to the ring.
There was a "Cena Sucks" chant before his music could
even hit. Definite negative reaction to Cena for his entrance,
although there were some pro-Cena signs in the crowd. They did the
ring introductions after both men were in the ring. Edge played it
humble to his hometown crowd.
The
start:
The
belt was hung above the ring, and the bell rang. They locked up,
and Cena applied a side headlock. Cena hit a shoulderblock and
went back to the headlock. Cena hit another shoulderblock, and the
fans are booing his every offensive move. Another shoulderblock,
then Edge leapfrogged Cena and slapped him, to a pop. Cena charged
Edge and hit some right hands, then went for a backdrop, but Edge
stopped short and gave him a neckbreaker. Edge went to the floor
and got a chair. Cena came out, and Edge hit him in the gut. Edge
missed a swing with the chair and hit the ringpost. Back in the
ring, Cena hit a Fisherman's suplex, but missed a charge and Edge
hit an Implant DDT.
Mid-match
notes:
Cena
went to the floor and slid a chair into the ring, then tossed in a
second. Edge set up the chairs, facing each other, and went to
suplex Edge into them. Cena blocked it and went for a suplex, but
Edge floated over and dropped Cena with a reverse DDT, driving his
back across the two set up chairs. Edge went for a ladder, then
set it up in the center of the ring. Edge started to climb, but
Cena knocked it over. Edge landed on his feet and clotheslined
Cena. Edge choked Cena on the middle rope, then hit him with a
ladder from the floor. Edge leaned the ladder against the ring, in
front of where Cena was slumped on the ropes. Edge jumped off the
security wall, dropkicking the ladder into Cena's head. Back in
the ring, Edge charged Cena with a ladder, but missed. Cena hit
some right hands, whipped Edge into a corner, then hiptossed him
into the ladder, which was leaning against the middle rope. Cena
started looking at two tables that were set up on the floor. Cena
lifted Edge for an FU, trying to dump him over the top rope. Edge
blocked it and landed on the apron. Cena punched Edge, and
charged, wanting to knock him off the apron, but Edge punched him
in the head to block it. Edge went to the top rope, but Cena
crotched him. Cena went outside for a table. Some woman in the
front row was cursing Cena out, and it looked like a referee told
her to stop.
Cena
set up the table in the ring, and went for a superplex, but Edge
blocked it. Edge went for a sunset flip powerbomb off the ropes,
but they fell right down from the corner, rather than hitting the
table. Cena fired off some punches, but then ran into an Edge
powerslam, putting him through the table. Cena rolled to the
floor. Edge ran up the ladder that was against the ropes in the
corner, and dove out of the ring onto Cena. There was a "Holy
S***" chant for the move. Edge rolled Cena back into the ring
and tossed in some chairs. Edge took a long time measuring Cena,
but then blasted him with a chairshot to the back. Edge set up for
a one-man Conchairto, but Cena rolled away and legsweeped Edge.
There was a slight "Cena" chant amongst the boos. Cena
hit a rolling necksnap, driving Edge into the chair. Cena set up a
ladder, opened it, and put Edge's body in it. Cena slammed the
ladder down on Edge, then put him in an FU, with Edge still in the
ladder. Edge tapped out, which doesn't matter in a TLC match. Cena
released the hold, then hit Edge with the ladder. Cena then gave
an FU to the ladder, driving it on top of Edge. Cena set up the
ladder in a corner, then gave Edge a backsuplex into a powerbomb.
Cena did the "You Can't See Me", getting a lot of boos.
Instead of running the ropes, Cena climbed the ladder and did the
Five Knuckle Shuffle fistdrop off the ladder. Cena then went under
the ring for another table.
While
Cena set up the table, Edge got a chair, and when Cena turned,
Edge blasted him in the head with a chairshot. Edge put Cena on
the table in the ring, then went under the ring for another table,
which he set up on top of the one Cena was on, so Cena was between
tables. Edge went to the top rope, but Cena rolled off the table
and knocked Edge off, sending him into the security wall. Cena
went to the floor and pulled out a larger ladder than the one
already in the ring. Cena set it up and started to climb. Edge
climbed the top rope and then the ladder in the corner, and jumped
off, spearing Cena off of his ladder and to the mat. Edge climbed
up the big ladder, but when he saw Cena getting up, he dove off at
him. Cena caught Edge and set him up for an FU. Edge grabbed the
ladder to try and escape, but Cena pulled him off in powerbomb
position and threw him into the smaller ladder in the ring. Edge
rolled to the floor. Cena went outside after him, grabbing a
chair. Cena gave Edge a relatively weak chairshot to the head.
Cena got back in the ring and started climbing the ladder. Cena
had a hand on the belt, when Lita ran in and toppled the ladder.
Cena fell over the top rope and through a table at ringside. Edge
crawled back into the ring, set up the ladder, and began climbing.
Cena crawled back into the ring. Lita hit Cena from behind with a
chairshot. Cena fell forward, into the ladder, and then tipped the
ladder, sending Edge over the top rope and through another table
at ringside.
The
Finish:
Cena
gave Lita an FU. The table that was stacked on top of another in
the ring toppled down. Cena set it back up, for some reason, then
stared at the belt and Edge for a while. Cena finally went to
position the ladder, and began to climb up. Cena crawled back in
and climbed up the other side of the ladder. Both men were on the
ladder, and slugged it out. They both reached for the belt. Cena
grabbed Edge and gave him an FU, dropping him off the top of the
ladder and through the double stacked tables. Cena, looking upset,
grabbed the title belt to win the match at the 26 minute mark.
Winner
and new WWE Champion, John Cena
The
Aftermath:
There
was a pop for Cena for the final spot and the win. Cena went to
ringside and hugged his father. Cena did not look happy at all, as
he slung the title over his shoulder and walked away. There were
still boos for Cena, but some cheers as well. Cena stood at the
entranceway and held the belt over his head. They showed replays
of some of the big table bumps. Back live, Cena held up the title
belt and saluted. Edge was being checked in the ring. The
announcers played up that Cena "did what he had to do"
as the show ended.
