They circle to begin, lock up and a side headlock by Batista. Off the rope and a shoulder block by Batista. A leapfrog by Cena and a hip toss. Slam by Cena, and Batista backs off. Side headlock by Cena, off the ropes and a shoulder block to Batista. Batista back with a boot, bomb try, countered but he gets a clothesline. Jackhammer by Batista and a cover for 2. An Irish whip by Cena, a fisherman's suplex follows and a cover for 2. Batista comes back with a side slam and a cover for 2. FU try by Cena, Batista counters and chop blocks the knee of Cena. Clubbing shots to the back by Batista, Flair shin buster follows and now Big Dave is taking Cena to school with the figure four! Cena battles, tries to escape the hold and just can't power out. Cena looks for the ropes, and gets them. FU try by Cena, Batista grabs the ropes and Cena tosses him to the floor! Batista rolls back in, shoulder block by Cena. Another and the PROTO BOMB follows. He limps a bit, 5-knuckle shuffle try connects. FU try, Batista escapes and gets a big boot to Cena. Both men are down, the ref counts and they get to their feet and Batista spears Cena to the corner. Shoulder blocks follow and then a whip and a back elbow by Cena. Charges in and Batista with the spinebuster! Rope shake by Batista, thumbs down and Batista bomb try, countered and Cena DDT's the leg of Batista. STFU locked in! Batista is dead center in the middle of the ring, Batista fights and crawls for the ropes but Cena pulls him back and locks the hold in again. Batista again tries for the ropes, and he gets them. Cena stalks Batista, FU try again but Batista escapes and gets a rear naked choke? Yes, yes he kind of does. The choke is a bit sloppy, but a cool counter nonetheless. Cena now must fight to escape, elbows out and escapes. SPEAR by Batista! 1…2…NO! Batista is limping from the STFU, scoops up Cena, but Cena counters into the FU! Both men are down, and Cena finally covers for a close 2. Cena up top now, Batista over to stop him and goes up top with him…they trade rights and Cena knocks Batista to the mat. Up top and goes for the fameasser but Batista gets the POWERBOMB! 1…2…NO! Kick to the face by Batista, Batista bomb! 1…2…3!

Shit yeah.

Please.. no epic this or that.. It's NOT funny.

Heel turn by Batista hopefully, use the storyline that the "inner violent animal" is released now.
Posted By: Captain_Cinnamon (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:01 PM
clean finish wow
Posted By: james2018 (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Safe to say Cena's jobbed more this year alone than all of 06-07
Posted By: TheCrock (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM
FUCK
Posted By: Stealer (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:02 PM
Pretty decent little match - this fued is going all the way to WM.
On another note there's an hour left and only one match remaining - HITC is going to be epic or this PPV will be a failure.
Posted By: Rob O (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:03 PM
Could these continuing losses mean a Cena heel turn is coming?
Posted By: BobbyC (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:04 PM
meh...
they COULD have saved their first match for WM... and made it a wee bit better.
Posted By: (guest) (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:04 PM
Nothing against Batista, but I was rooting for Cena. Props to both men.
Posted By: The Great Capt. Smooth (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:06 PM
What do you mean "Cena actually lost"? He's been jobbing more than the jobbingest jobber in all of Jobberville since he won the Royal Rumble.

wtf? cena should have won
Posted By: Guest#0914 (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:09 PM
LMFAO at Batista attempting a rear naked choke! :'(
Posted By: epicroff (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:13 PM
There Cena lost cleanly. I hope this shuts the Cena haters up, at least for a little bit.
Posted By: E. Nygma (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:20 PM
There will be no heel turns by either Batista or Cena, the fans cheer too much for both of them to turn.
Cena will show his respects to Batista on tomorrow night's RAW, and that will be that.
Nothing to see here, moving on.....

DId Anyone not see Orton was in a motorcycle accident and is out another 3 months>?
Posted By: Jim (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Sooner or later they are going to need to start giving Cena PPV wins again or he's going to reach JTTS status. Yes, he's still over, but he won't be forever if they keep JOBBING him out on big PPVs. And yes, he SHOULD have gone over Batista here, or at the very least had:
1. A non-clean finish (Randy Orton run-in anyone?)
2. A LONG OVERDUE Batista Heel Turn following a Cena win.
If John Cena is the WWE's money man, a clean Batista win does NOTHING in the long run.
Posted By: Guest#1443 (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:21 PM
Gotta love it.
Cena wins: "he never loses. He sucks! Wah! Wah! Bitch! Moan! Complain."
Cena loses: "he never wins. What's going on? He should have won this match? WTF?"
Somebody pull the plug on these guys' computers please?

EPIC:EPIC

Superman has been stopped
Posted By: Guest#9973 (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:35 PM
EPIC SUCK IT
Posted By: hahaha (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:38 PM
That's it, no one's allowed to boo Cena anymore. You guys realize that JBL's the only guy he's pinned all year on PPV?
Posted By: Texas Kelly (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:39 PM
Wow this match was so awesome. I was like oh snap and stuff. I can't wait to watch RAW. No not really this match was kinda off. Batista didn't look that good and Cena has done worse I guess. Oh and not to let anyone down.
EPIC FAIL, EPIC PIECE OF DONKEY POOP! No really, hope no one paid for this.
Posted By: BA (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:41 PM
Cena lost an epic match in epic fashion?
Wow! That's EPIC!
Posted By: Epic Spaz Monkey (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 10:51 PM
What a surprise that Orton interfered! They sure swerved us with that FAKE motorcycle accident didn't they? Yeah, next time you're gonna launch some stupid conspiracy theory remember this and drink a tall glass of shut the f*** up instead. Oh, and I'm glad Cena lost cuz he still sucks.
Posted By: Shockmaster (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 11:29 PM
I believe that's 5 losses for Cena on PPV this year. Now will the haters stop saying they're pushing Cena too hard?
Posted By: William (Guest) on August 17, 2008 at 11:29 PM
Cena sucks! Good thing he lost the match.. rofl
