10 Best Near Falls In WWE History
Best WWE kick-outs of all time
5. John Cena Vs. Edge - New Year's Revolution 2006
Though it’s part of the furniture nowadays, there was a time where people weren’t sure that this whole Money in the Bank thing would work out.
Thankfully, the first cash-in was so good that everyone’s fears just went away.
John Cena successfully retained his WWE Championship in a bloody and brutal Elimination Chamber Match at New Year’s Revolution 2006. Unfortunately, the celebrations didn’t last long, as who should come out but briefcase holder Edge.
After Mr. McMahon explained what was going on like he was some sort of tutorial in a video game, Edge cashed in for the first time ever and we had ourselves a world title match!
Cena was an exhausted mess who’d just outlasted five other competitors in a brutal match. Surely he would fall to the very first Spear Edge hit him with? Clearly you don’t know your Cena.
The champ somehow kicked out of the initial attack, adding a great layer of uncertainty to the moment. Had Edge made a huge mistake? Should he have waited for another moment? Was he going to…oh wait, he’s just hit another Spear and won.
It did look like he’d initially messed up, though.
