| He was in a flow now, going from move to move. AJ would head to the apron, looking to connect with his Signature Springboard 45o Splash! | Knock Cena out of the ring when the Signature metre is full, and then make your way to the apron. To do a Springboard 450 Splash there, use R2 + Square (on a PlayStation or Xbox) or RT + X. |
| With my air gone, I was easy pickings as AJ attempted his Wheelbarrow Facebuster in the ring! | Cena must be knocked to the ground and then immediately raised. Grab him with Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox) while he is still dazed, then flip the left analog stick up while pressing either X (PlayStation) or A (Xbox). |

| In an instant, I was trapped in the corner, and AJ was attempting another Front Light Corner Attack! | Ireland Whip Cena into one of the corners, then while facing him, press the Square (PlayStation) or X (Xbox) button. |
