Though their rivalry has been continuing for months, tensions between John Cena and JBL have reached new extremes in recent weeks with the self-proclaimed “wrestling god” attempting to take control of Raw and the resulting vandalization of his limousine. Now, at The Great American Bash - despite Layfield's attempt to crash his car into his foe on Raw - Cena and JBL will face off in an NYC Parking Lot Brawl at the Nassau Coliseum in the self-made millionaire’s adopted state, where they'll face a bevy of dangers unique to a New York City parking lot.

After Mr. McMahon was injured on Raw, the program was left without a General Manager or other guiding force weeks ago, prompting JBL to attempt to take control of the program, challenging CM Punk for his World Heavyweight Championship and having Cena escorted from the building by the self-made millionaire’s own personal security force. They couldn’t keep the Chain Gang Commander out for long, however, as he stormed back in during JBL’s match with Punk, bringing along Cryme Tyme and attacking the security guards, distracting the Longhorn Loudmouth long enough for Punk to get the pin.
The following week saw both Cena and JBL compete in a Fatal Four Way Match for No. 1 contender status for the World Heavyweight Championship. Before the match, however, Cena and his Cryme Tyme buddies hijacked Layfield’s limousine, proceeding to smash mirrors, break windows and even graffiti the automobile.
More recently, the two's rivalry reached more extreme levels as JBL attempted to crush a wounded Cena between two automobiles. Despite JBL's worst intentions, Cena escaped at the last minute and was only grazed, insuring that the Superstars will still face off at The Great American Bash.
Cena and JBL have faced each other under vicious match stipulations before, fighting through a First Blood Match at One Night Stand that saw JBL lose after bleeding from his Longhorn Loudmouth. However, The Great American Bash will see the two compete in a far more brutal match where absolutely anything goes. Who will leave more of their body in the parking lot at Nassau Coliseum? It may very well come down to that when these two competitors face one another at The Great American Bash.
