The match started off with Lesnar absolutely manhandling Cena, but it felt like a comeback was brewing.
As Lesnar seemed ready to put the match away, Cena reversed position to get away from a F5 and slammed Lesnar to the canvas. Lesnar recovered more quickly and speared Cena to the mat before unleashing a flurry of punches.
Lesnar continued to dominate Cena and the referee was close to stopping the match.
With Cena close to being done, he swept the leg of Lesnar and threatened with a STF, but Lesnar escaped and finished Cena to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.
