One of the biggest upsets (arguably) in WWE history took place at the “Elimination Chamber” pay-per-view on May 31 as NXT Champion Kevin Owens pinned United States Champion John Cena cleanly right in the center of the ring.
Following the epic bout, several fans, wrestling personalities and superstars took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the monumental victory:
