WWE WrestleMania 31 Results (3/29) – New IC Champ, Sting vs HHH, Who Leaves As The WWE Champion?

United States Championship

John Cena vs Rusev (w/ Lana) (c)

Rusev hits Cena a few times and takes him down with a reverse waistlock throw. Rusev hits him a few more times and goes to hit him with the Russian flag, but Cena kicks him and hits a shoulder tackle. Cena hits another shoulder tackle, then Rusev comes back with some kicks and sets up on the turnbuckles. Cena shoves him back and hits a standing legdrop for two, then they slug it out before Cena applies the STF. Lana throws one of her shoes in as Rusev makes it to the ropes, then Cena argues with the reference about the distraction attempt. Rusev throws him back and heads up top, connecting with a diving headbutt for two.

Rusev stomps Cena and goes for the Accolade, but Cena rolls through and slams him down to get a two count. Cena calls for an Attitude Adjustment but Rusev blocks, and he goes for a side slam but Cena rolls through. Rusev gets up and kicks him in the face, then he hooks Cena in the Accolade but Cena powers up and slams him down. Cena applies the STF, but Rusev breaks out and charges at Cena near the ropes. Lana jumped up on the apron during the submission, and Cena ducks, Rusev accidentally knocks Lana and Cena hits an AA for the win. 

Winner and NEW United States Champion – John Cena 

BP: I really wanted to see someone new beat Rusev, but what can you do. Cena elevated Rusev a lot in the past few months, and he will bring prestige to the title, just like Rusev did with a good run.
