John Cena def. The Miz

Before the contest was underway, The Miz needed to get something off his chest. The Miz claimed that no one has worked harder than he has, but yet he is upset because he does not have a match at WrestleMania. The Miz was fully prepared to prove he was ready for WrestleMania by defeating the same Superstar he defeated at The Show of Shows last year.
... Momentum swings were fairly even in the contest, but Cena's offensive continually proved to be much more effective. Following an Attitude Adjustment, Cena locked Miz in the STF for the victory.

As Cena celebrated his victory, The Rock appeared on the TitanTron and simply waved his hand across his face, mocking his WrestleMania opponent.

The Miz walks out with a mic in hand onto the entrance ramp. Miz says that he worked too hard to be treated like this. In the past year, no one has worked harder than The Miz. He is asked to fly all over the world to do PR for the company, and yet The Mizfs name has yet to be called upon for WrestleMania. Miz yells at the crowd to shut up. Miz says they can boo all they want, but itfs a crime. Miz says he is going to prove to everyone that he is WrestleMania worthy. Miz says he is going to do it by beating the man that he beat in the main event of last yearfs emania. Because hefs The Miz, and hefs awesome!

The Rock addressed the WWE Universe

The Rock had many choice words for John Cena and whenever he hurled an insult at his WrestleMania opponent, the Portland crowd would chant in unison. The Great One explained to John Cena that he was fighting for the people and that he lived to entertain the people. ...John Cena made his way to the ring to counter The Rock's insults and fire back his own. When Cena left, The Rock said it didn't matter what Cena said, at WrestleMania, both Superstars would put everything on the line.
