Reigns delivered a Superman Punch that knocked Cena off balance, then earned the pinfall victory thanks to a giant Spear.

Cena, 40, respected his opponent following the loss, however:


Cena returned to Raw several weeks ago given his free-agent status, and he revealed he intended to call out a Superstar on the Raw roster.

Before he had a chance to do this, however, Reigns entered the ring and began exchanging verbal jabs with Cena.

Following his loss to Reigns, Cena explained that he felt as though a weight had been lifted off his shoulders:


Cena has long been considered one of the top wrestlers in WWE, although after a series of appearances in major Hollywood films, Vince McMahon and the rest of the organization seem poised to help Reigns take over that role.

Reigns has competed in the main event at three WrestleManias, and last defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33, thus apparently forcing The Undertaker into retirement.

Brock Lesnar also defeated Braun Strowman at No Mercy.
