Horrible Jerry Lawler commentary aside, I really enjoyed this match. great chemistry from both and the STF/No Lock/AA transitions were awesome.

Really good match, I agree with the reversals of the AA/STF/No lock, that was definitely my favorite part too. So far one good thing about 3 hour Raws, more wrestling and longer/better main events.

One of the first matches to truly feel like the main event in a long time.

They need to headline a PPV, not only can they put on a clinic together, they can both work a crowd to perfection. I did laugh at Bryan's counter of the STF though, I guess all you have to do is get your arm in there.

I loved the final transition as it looked like Bryan was going for another guillotine right before Cena hit the AA. It definitely was an excellent match.

I'd give it a 3.8 personally. |

Backing up the Lawler remark, yeah, it was otherwise a great match. I wouldn't mind an extended Bryan/Cena feud at some point.

Like I said in the Raw thread, it was everything I hoped for, and more.

I didn't like this match and I have no idea why. Lawler might be a possibility.

It seemed like a good match, but I also had the TV on mute since 3 hours of Raw is really killing my interest in actually paying attention to the main events. I started watching Arkham City videos while it was on. :S

Excellent main event, I'm glad Bryan didn't tap. Cena made him look great by breaking out of the STF.

Great tv match, helped by one of the louder crowds in quite some time. Bryan had a LOT to do with that.

it was very, very good. Considering the parties involved, I'm not surprised.

I felt like some sort of test of Bryan's crowd reactions, the way he kept interrupting the Cena chant to re-focus it on him, and it worked. This can only speak well for his longevity and versatility, in being able to seem credible whilst still being OTT.

Yeah, I cracked up when Bryan halted the "Let's Go Cena/Cena Sucks" chants to get his "Yes/No" stuff going. Dude worked that crowd beautifully. Also, I'm gonna needlessly restate that the final sequence of counters to the eventual AA was fantastic. |

Fantastic match. The finish, while I get Cena winning, saddened me though as it seems in these instances a match where the loser looks great only means that WWE will continue to book that guy to lose (often to the same guy over and over again, see also Christian and Ziggler to Orton) under some weird assumption that it's actually benefitting him.

Agreed on the match quality (you have to take the awful Lawler commentary these days), and hope they use it for a potential big time main event for the two in the future (maybe Bryan's first big match win........I CAN DREAM).

That was definitely one of the top 5 matches I've seen all year. Though I'm sick to death of Cena, he can put on an awesome match and Bryan is just a f***ing wrestling genius.
