Cena wakes up and stops him then Litta gives him a pussy chairshot so he FU's her out of the match. Cena climbs but Edge recovers and climbs the other side. Cena gives him the mother of all FU's off the ladder through the stacked tables in the ring and its all over as Cena casually grabs the belt at 25:29 and the crowd still ****'s on him for a "bad match" I give it my maximum score for a carwreck match. 4 stars. I give 1/2 star to the crowd for acting like Toronto.


Overall Opinion: This was a pretty good show.


Final Score: I give it 5.5 stars out of 10.0
