WWE Blacklash 2009 - John Cena vs. Edge (Last man standing)
A seriously fantastic promo prior to the match. Edge's beef with Cena is that he lost the belt in a triple threat match to Cena (But he didn't get pinned) so he should get a rematch. A funny note is that I'm viewing this match on the "WWE: Best PPV Matches Of 2009-2010" DVD and you can hear tons of "CENA SUCKS" Chants, especially while Cena enters. The commentators (JR, Cole and Lawler) play up how this is the final match between the two. I actually enjoyed their feud in 2006 and loved tuning into Raw everyweek while Edge was champ.
Edge ran outside the ring. Cena then chased Edge around the ring. The two then climbed back in the ring and were at the same point they were before the running around. At one point in this contest, Edge applies a headlock on Cena and the announcers tease that the match could be over here. Cena gets straight back up and takes Edge down in what seemed an adrenaline rush. Cena gets shoved onto the announce table. Edge hopes that will end the match but it doesn't as Cena gets to his feet. Edge sets up the steps in a position where if he delivers a spear, Cena will be speared into the steps. John moves and Edge goes into the steps. That fails to get a 10 count. In what was possibly the best bump of the night, Cena delivered a FU off the top rope. Seconds later, Edge spears Cena as Cena jumps off the top rope. Actually, Stratch that.. Possibly the biggest move was when Cena FUd Edge into the crowd (They all fell over too). The action went all over the building as Edge and Cena ran out of the arena. They entered the arena again moments later. The action then spilled onto the stage. Edge does a bloody con-chairto. Big Show runs in after Cena makes it to the 10 count. Show chokeslams Cena through one of the lights. The light explodes and smoke comes off the light. The referee begins to count. Edge becomes the new World Heavyweight Champion.
