    In this rematch from Summerslam, Lesnar started out much in the same manner as in their last match-up. Lesnar again dominated most of the match, keeping Cena on his back or knees. Cena did attempt an AA, but failed to get a pinfall. He then locked the STF, but Lesnar countered into his own Kimura submission hold. Cena tried again with the AA until Seth Rollins came in attacking Lesnar with his Money in the Bank case, which he tried to cash, but Cena stopped him when trying to get into the ring to claim the match.
