Cena’s third-to-last chance was at the very beginning of 2015, a match that saw him get his rematch at the same time against both Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins. Rollins cost Cena the WWE Title at Night of Champions in his rematch with Brock Lesnar, and then Cena defeated Rollins to get another rematch at TLC.
The Authority, after being eliminated by Dolph Ziggler and Sting at Survivor Series, was reinstated by Cena after Rollins threatened to paralyse Edge. That earned Seth a spot in Cena’s match, which is what created the triple threat stipulation.
In one of the best triple threat matches since WrestleMania XX, Lesnar successfully defended his title against both challengers, again blocking Cena from tying Flair’s legendary record.

About the author
Nicholas A. Marsico
I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.
I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
