John Cena vs. Kevin Owens in Elimination Chamber 2015
When John Cena defeated Rusev to retain the United States championship
at Payback last night, it paved the way for his weekly open challenge on Monday
Night Raw to continue. It did so tonight in Richmond, Virginia, although an
actual match didn't take place.
That's because NXT Heavyweight Champion Kevin Owens answered the call,
ran Cena down on the microphone, then powerbombed him and stepped on his title.
Later, Renee Young caught up with Owens immediately after the champ had
a conversation with WWE COO Triple H. It was announced that Owens, who defends
the NXT title against Sami Zayn at Takeover: Unstoppable in just two days, will
take on Cena for the US title at the Elimination Chamber event on May 31, 2015
