Alberto Del Rio Defeats John Cena

What I Liked:

The match starts with a slow attack from Cena onto Del Rio. As we head to the outside, since it is a Falls Count Anywhere match, Cena gets knocked out with a picture perfect kick to the head. We saw much more aggression from Alberto throughout the match, and he tries to hit him with a chair. The guys head to the crowd to continue the brawl, as the crowd is really into it. Cena tries to hit the AA through a table, but Del Rio hits a backdrop onto Cena through the table. Cena would kick out and the action continues. This was a great battle between both guys, showcasing their aggression and strategic planning from one move to the next. We get more close pin falls, but both guys head to the back until CM Punk appears and hits Cena. After the match, CM Punk hits Cena with a GTS on his getaway car. As the car leaves, Paul Heyman is revealed as the driver. This was brilliant, as Punk said a year ago that he was a "Paul Heyman" guy. Heyman is the best mouthpiece in the business, and someone everyone loves to see. This was fantastic from beginning to the end of the night. I was into it the whole time, and the big angle at the end of the summer has finally come. If you are a fan of wrestling or the Attitude Era, this was right up your alley.
