A natural heel himself, Covington watched on as veteran professional wrestling ace, John Cena made history in the night’s headliner.
Competing for the undisputed WWE championship, Cena broke the record of veteran performer Ric Flair, landing his seventeenth world championship victory.
Landing a controversial victory over Cody Rhodes, Cena capitilized on multiple ref bumps, as well as interference from rapper, Travis Scott.
Smashing defending champion, Rhodes with the championship belt, Cena then urged the official to count, landing the three-count and taking home a controversial victory in Las Vegas, Nevada.
