John Cena vs CM Punk
Cena tries pulling off Punk’s mask and Punk rolls out of the ring. When they get back together Cena and Punk trade headlocks and Cena goes for the mask again. Punk once again rolls out and complains to the ref about his mask. When he gets back in, he knees Cena in the corner and dropkicks him in the back of the head. Punk puts Cena’s head in a leg scissors and Cena rolls out and tries locking in a STF. Cena hits a bulldog and Gallows trips up him on the ropes while Serena has the referee’s attention.
Punk throws Cena out of the ring and Serena kicks him in the ribs behind the referee’s back. Punk brings him back in and kicks Cena in the back. Cena fights back with right hands and hits a shoulder block and side slam, and calls for the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He is distracted by Wade Barrett, who is standing on the ramp. Barrett makes his way to the ring and Cena asks if Barrett has a problem with him. It is revealed that the rest of the Season 1 NXT rookies are in the audience and jump the barricade. They take out Punk and Gallows and surround Cena, who is still in the ring. Barrett gives a nod and they all get in the ring and Otunga knocks out the referee.
Cena tries going after Barrett but all eight rookies attack Cena and send him to the ground. Barrett tells them all to back off and they get out of the ring. Skip Sheffield knocks down Matt Striker and Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel take out Lawler. The rookies are destroying the ringside area and flip over the announce table and kick apart a section of the barricade. They now go after some production crew and Justin Roberts. Daniel Bryan is choking Roberts on the floor as the other rookies are ripping apart the ring. Everyone gets back in the ring and focuses on Cena as Otunga slams him to the mat, and Darren Young and Slater irish whip and clothesline him. Sheffield sets up to clothesline him next and CM Punk and Gallows get back in and try to fight the rookies off. They are overpowered and get thrown out of the ring. Some of the rookies pick Cena up and whip him into Sheffield, who hits a big lariat and kneels over Cena. Slater chokes him with the ring ropes and Daniel Bryan screams "You are not better than me!" at Cena.
Michael Tarver punches Cena in the side of the head and then a few of the rookies pick Cena up for Barrett. He puts him on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry and Barrett flips him over and down to the mat. Justin Gabriel goes up top and hits the 450 splash and then the rookies leave the ring. A shot of the destruction around the ring is shown and medical staff is out to check on everyone around ringside. More staff brings out a stretcher and put Cena onto it while they stabilize his head and neck. They finally get Cena out of the ring and wheel him to the back as the fans in the arena are both shocked and worried. Cena is hurt but gives everyone a thumbs up as RAW goes off the air.
