WWE Champion John Cena vs. Randy Orton in a Hell In A Cell match.
Cena hit two punches, and Randy Orton bailed to the floor and looked to be trying to find a way out. Cena chased after him, and as they got in the ring, Orton nailed him. Orton stomped him, but Cena got to his feet and teased an Attitude Adjustment, but Orton slipped out. Cena hit some shots, but Orton came back with a powerslam as Cena charged him. They traded punches, and both men got chants from the crowd. Cena hit a shoulderblock, but missed a second and crashed to the mat. Orton shoved Cena off the ring apron, and he crashed into the cage.
Orton went to the floor and stomped Cena, using the cage to elevate himself for each stomp. Orton then drove his knee into Cena's head, driving him face first into the cage. Orton went to ram Cena into the steal, but Cena blocked it and hit some punches. Cena picked up Orton and rammed him back first into the cage wall, then went to do it head first, but Orton floated over and rammed Cena into the cage. Orton rammed Cena into the ring steps, then stomped Cena's hand on the steps. With the steps in two pieces, Orton put Cena's head on the bottom half and stomped it.
Orton picked up the top half of the ring steps, acted like it was really heavy, and flung it into the ring. It bounced off the ropes and back out, and Orton caught it with no problem and shoved it back in. That was unintentionally funny. Orton set up the section in the ring, as Cena climbed on the apron. Orton went for the hanging DDT onto the steps, but Cena put his hands down on the steps to block it. Cena got his feet under him and backdropped Orton to the floor. Cena picked up the steps and threw it at Orton on the floor, but Orton ducked.
Back in the ring, Cena went for a whip, but Orton blocked it and hit the side backbreaker for a two count. Orton hit a kneedrop, then waited for Cena to stand up. Orton charged and Cena hit a boot to the face. Cena hit two shoulderblocks and a back suplex into a powerbomb. You know what's next. Cena did the "You Can't See Me" and hit the Five Knuckle Shuffle fistdrop. Cena went for the Attitude Adjustment, but Orton grabbed the top rope, pulled himself onto the apron and then yanked Cena throat first across the top rope. Cena rolled to the apron, and Orton got back in the ring and grabbed Cena. Orton hit the hanging DDT for a two count.
Orton measured Cena for the RKO, but Cena shoved it off and hit an Attitude Adjustment for a two count. Cena sat Orton on the top rope and set up for a second rope Attitude Adjustment, but Orton elbowed out of it, slid to the mat and gave Cena an Electric Chair for a two count. Cena rolled to the apron and Orton battered him with punches. Orton got on the middle rope and pulled Cena up, setting up for a superplex. Cena fought it off, knocking Orton to the mat. Cena went for a top rope Rocker Dropper, but Orton rolled out of the way and Cena crashed to the mat.
Orton went under the ring and pulled out a chair. Orton drove the chair into the back of Cena's neck. Orton turned Cena over and drove the chair into Cena's stomach. Cena kicked out at two. Orton put Cena's head on the folded chair and stomped it. Orton took forever to go for a kneedrop, and Cena moved out of the way, so Orton kneedropped the chair. Cena tripped Orton and applied the STF. Orton crawled to the ropes, but there are no breaks in a Cell match. Orton grabbed the apron and pulled himself out of the ring, breaking the hold. Cena grabbed Orton's leg and pulled him back in, but Orton turned and kicked Cena away. Cena fell into the referee, knocking him out of the ring. Cena grabbed Orton in the STF again, and Orton tapped, but the referee was on the floor.
Cena released the hold, went to the floor, and rolled the referee back into the ring. Cena revived the referee, then turned around and Orton hit Cena with an RKO for a two count. Orton got on the apron and tied Cena in the top and middle ropes. Orton pulled back Cena's head and applied a chinlock. The announcers said he was choking Cena out, but it as pretty obvious Orton's arm was on Cena's chin, not his throat. Orton released his hold, and the referee pulled the ropes, freeing Cena, who fell to the mat. Orton took a long time to decide what to do next, then set up for a punt. He went for the kick and missed it... er, hit it. Orton got the pin at the twenty-two minute mark. WWE had a tight angle on the kick, and the kick appeared to mis (which was obviously not the plan), but it was sold anyway. They actually replayed it from that angle, then showed it from another angle (which made the kick look better).
Winner and new WWE Champion: Randy Orton.
Orton walked off with the belt, and a woozy John Cena sat up in the ring, and then stared at Orton. Michael Cole claimed that Orton had a "weakened leg" so the punt didn't have the usual stretcher-ride results. Cena stood up in the ring, looking disappointed, while Orton stared at him from the aisle.
