Elimination Chamber 2015 - 5 cool things Kevin Owens did in his match

Owens makes his way to the ring

After Elimination Chamber it’ll be safe to say that Kevin Owens has gathered up quite a storm. The NXT Champion came to his first WWE PPV match with a heck lot of impetus riding behind him. He had pop up powerbombed his way till here. He was about to face the face who runs the place. John Cena is no ordinary man but on Sunday, Owens made him look like one.

Owens looked extraordinary, pulling off moves contrary to his build. Owens came to fight and fight he did. He came, he fought and he won.

Here are the 5 cool things he did in his match:

1.That Moonsault

Up until this move the match was a slow burn with both Owens and Cena getting some offence in. Owens being the heel had the upper hand. This moonsault did not land him on Cena. He missed but it was enough to get the audience all rattled. The way he transitioned into the moonsault jumping from the second turnbuckle to the third was exhilarating.

This was the move that changed the course of the match. This was the move that may have got our attention to Owens if you did not have it in the first place.

Earlier in the match, Cena had kicked out at 2 after getting the pop- up powerbomb.

After the moonsault, Owens got an AA. 

2. Kick-out

Not many people can say that they kicked out of John Cena’s AA. A few weeks back, Sami Zayn became one of the people who could. At Elimination Chamber Owens became the latest superstar to do it. And this wasn’t even the best part of the match.

This, though, indicated that despite of this being just his first match on the main roster, that too in a PPV, Owens is here to fight and win and make a major statement, which he did after the match.

3. Better at being Cena than Cena?

Well, that will be an overstatement saying that Owens is better at being Cena than Cena. He isn’t. But he tried and he was brilliant in pulling off that mockery. He tried giving a five knuckle shuffle which was unsuccessful and sloppy looking.

But when he picked up Cena for the AA, it was just poetic. Owens tried to get Cena’s Attitude Adjusted. This was a move that made some people celebrate this boldness and some just be appalled by his sheer disrespect towards the 15 time World Champion. 

And in the end, he did dole out some ‘veteran advice’ for Cena.
