Fortunately, the recently fired [[Wrestling/TheBigShow Big Show]] was on the scene to throw Johnny right back in. Instead of helping John Cena grind Laurinaitis into dust, though, Show [[BodyguardBetrayal knocked out Cena with one punch]], allowing Johnny to pick up the win and keep his job. It was all [[WoundedGazelleGambit an ingenious plot]] by the wily GM, albeit one that could only work if Cena bullied him for seventeen minutes rather than just pinning him at the earliest opportunity.\\\
