John Cena vs. Rusev
A couple of weeks before WrestleMania 31 on RAW, John Cena made Rusev tap out and earned a US title match against the big Russian at the grand event. Cena lost to Rusev at FastLane – a month before Mania, and claimed a rematch but Rusev never agreed to his proposal and Cena earned it on his own.
Cena, headed into this match representing USA and was on the hunt for the US title and also to end the undefeated streak of the big Russian. There were a lot of questions about the inclusion of the US title into the scenario but the creative team had their own plans.
Cena conveniently won the match against Rusev not to forget that he put on a valiant effort to do so, and ended Rusev’s title reign with an Attitude Adjustment. This was Cena’s fourth US title victory and the very first in recent times.
