John Cena vs Curtis Axel (w/ Paul Heyman)
Cena goes right for a bulldog off the ropes but Heyman trips him, then Axel sends him outside and hits a shoulder tackle off the apron before rolling him outside. Axel kicks him a few times before Cena punches him back, then he hits the ropes but Axel hits a side slam for a near fall. Axel calls for a chair and Heyman slides it in the ring, then he swings at Cena but Cena blocks it and hits him in the back before throwing him outside. Cena throws him into the broadcast table, then he takes the table apart before noticing the ref's count, so he rolls Axel back in the ring. Axel comes back with a strike and tries to swing at Cena, but Cena ducks then they have a standoff with Axel holding the chair.
Cena ducks another strike and dropkicks him for a near fall, then Cena grabs the chair and wedges it in the corner but Axel clotheslines him and gets a two count. Axel punches him in the head and taunts Cena, then he puts him in an extended armbar but Cena powers out so Axel kicks him in the ribs. Axel kicks him in the corner and stomps on his head, then he sends him into the corner but Cena fights back with some right hands. Cena shoulder tackles him and hits a sitout side slam, then Cena hits the Five Knuckle Shuffle and sets up the Attitude Adjustment, only to have Axel float over. Axel retreats into the corner and Cena tries to spear him, but Axel dives away and Cena hits the chair (wedged in the corner) before falling out of the ring.
Axel hits him a few times before getting the chair, then he hits Cena in the back with it and gets a two count before hitting him in the back again. Axel repeatedly hits Cena with the chair before laying it on the mat, then he hits a swinging neckbreaker on the chair but Cena narrowly kicks out at two. Axel sets up a Perfect Plex but Cena counters with a STF, then Heyman runs over and hands Axel a tablet computer. Axel hits Cena in the head with it to break the hold, then they roll outside and Cena sets up an Attitude Adjustment through the table. Heyman gets in the way so Cena chases him off, then he goes back after Axel but Ryback runs out and spears Cena through the table and Axel wins by countout.
Winner (by countout) – Curtis Axel
