Money in the Bank ladder match:
Dolph Ziggler def. John Cena
The match was for Dolph Ziggler's World heavyweight championship Money in the Bank contract from the Money in the Bank PPV. At one point Ziggler had a sleeper hold on Cena, who still tried to climb the ladder, Cena passed out, throwing both himself and Ziggler through a nearby table. Both men continued to fight hard, until Ziggler's manager Vickie Guerrero came out trying to attack Cena with a chair, only to be denied by AJ Lee, who gave her all the John Cena signature moves. Cena tried to climb a ladder in the ring, but AJ knocked it over, letting Ziggler climb to retain his contract.
