But Cena with his ‘Never Give Up’ motto continued thriving against the MMA fighter. He had to use a chain and hit Lesnar into the forehead to bust him open as well that was the key moment of the match. It allowed him to pick up Lesnar and plant with an AA on the steel steps securing the win. The match ended on a note where a battered and bruised Cena addressed the crowd to reach home safe and himself intended to take time off, too. (But he did not) That night, the Cenation Leader earned the respect of the WWE Universe even in a hostile audience of Chicago.
