[2014-07-20-WWE-Battleground] John Cena vs Roman Reigns vs Randy Orton vs Kane

[KawadaSmile]

This match for the WWE Heavyweight Championship made me a little bit sad.

 

The story going in is that the Authority wants to screw Cena out of the title by pitting him against 3 other guys - the typical situation where he doesn't even have to take the fall in order to lose the belts.

 

 

Orton and Kane work together early on, with the latter making sure the former's pinfall attempts go without interruption. However, the crowd doesn't really care, because while the heels get their heat on Cena, they are chanting for Roman Reigns.

 

They are hot for the interactions between Cena and Roman, and they teased them duking it out twice in the match before it finally happened. And well, what can I say other than Reigns is clearly the MVP in this match? During a stretch later in the match where he takes on the other 3 competitors, the crowd is pleading for Roman to win this.

 

But in the end, it's an AA from Cena to Orton (with Kane being the landing spot) that seals the deal. He outsmarted everyone and retained the titles.

 

 

It's sad. Roman was clearly one of the most over people in the company at that point. And now...
