Awesome Truth vs John Cena & The Rock
Rock starts off with Miz and they lock up and Rock hits a shoulder block and a few arm drags, then Truth tries to interfere but he gets thrown to the floor. Rock goes for a roll up and Miz goes out to the floor and talks to Truth then rolls back in and tags Truth as the Rock tells him to bring it. Rock applies a headlock then reverses an armdrag and ducks Truth, then punches both Truth and Miz and hits a fisherman's suplex for two. Cena runs in to knock Miz off the apron and the ref misses the count and Rock and Cena have words before Miz asks for the tag again. He gets in and mouths off and says he wants Cena, and Rock turns and sarcastically makes the tag. (cont'd…)
