The first homage saw Cena hit The Mizâ€s Skull Crushing Finale. He later put Styles in an Accolade/Camel Clutch, leading the crowd to chant “Rusev Day.â€

Styles locked Cena in a Coquina Clutch at one point, a possible nod to Samoa Joe. Cena then applied Chris Jericho’s Walls of Jericho, which drew a big reaction from the live crowd.

Later, Cena hit Bray Wyattâ€s Sister Abigail on Styles for a near fall and another big reaction. Fans brought out the “fireflies†and chanted “Thank you, Wyatt.â€

Styles also hit an Angelâ€s Wings, a tribute to Christopher Daniels. He later reversed a pedigree into Frankie Kazarian’s Fade To Black piledriver.

Cena later delivered a draping DDT followed by a Randy Orton-style RKO for another near fall. He then hit Styles with an Undertaker-style chokeslam. When fans chanted for a 619, Cena draped Styles across the ropes, but Styles cut him off with a clothesline when he went for the move.

Styles hit a Shawn Michaels-style superkick for a near fall, followed by a Phenomenal Forearm for another. Cena answered back with a second Attitude Adjustment for a near fall. Cena finally hit a Tombstone piledriver followed by a third Attitude Adjustment to score the win.
