WWE CONTENDER MATCH
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
JOHN CENA~RANDY ORTON~KOFI KINGSTON
WWE GIVE A GIGANTIC SLAP TO CENA'S FACE!
Enemy of my enemy is my friend. By that logic, John Cena and Kofi Kingston should be the best of buds. After all, each has had major issues with the arrogant Randy Orton. When the three met in a Triple Threat Match to determine the No. 1 contender to the WWE Title against Sheamus at Royal Rumble, however, it was Orton who emerged victorious. Not that he did it alone.
The Viper prevailed with a distraction, compliments of his Legacy henchmen, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. While the alliance had been teetering, the trio seems to have solidified their partnership in the past two weeks.
