John Cena is now officially the GOAT, with 17 world title wins. He played the heel in the match, using dirty tricks like eye gouges, low blows, and even removing the turnbuckle pad.
Things got wild when Cena accidentally crashed into the referee. With no one to count, Cena used the opportunity to send Rhodes face-first into the exposed turnbuckle twice and hit Attitude Adjustment, but Rhodes still kicked out.
