#5 Im not asking you to win, Im telling you to win (against Brock Lesnar - 2012)
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
After Cena had his first match against The Rock, Cena decided to congratulate Rock only to be met with Brock Lesnar.
Then Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis claimed that he bought Lesnar back into the business because he wanted to legitimize WWE and build Lesnar as its new face. Now what the good part about this storyline was, it was the regular part-timer war which broke out.
Cena stood for everything that was against the part-timer getting a big nod while Lesnar was out there to make sure it happens. The highest point of the angle came when Edge decided to give a motivational speech to Cena and urge him to win the match.
Cena did just that eventually, and then went on to end the feud with Laurinaitis which ended in him getting fired by Vince McMahon.
#4 The fairy tale, storybook ride will be over (against Randy Orton - 2007)
Cena has had many feuds for the title as said earlier but the one which stands out from the rest has to be this one.
The Cenation leader from coming off a feud with Khali and was heading to a historic title reign. However, Orton had other plans and he wanted to end Cenas fairytale run.
Orton and Cena then ended in some to and fro battles which went across multiple pay-per-views. It was simple hate that drove the storyline and Orton even went as far as kicking in the head of Cenas father to make his message clear.
They had feuds in the future as well, but the one in 2007 was more intense than the ones which followed.
#3 Once in a life time (against The Rock - 2012)
It was the clash of two of the biggest stars in the business but it was projected to be the clash of two big egos. The who is better question led this storyline from the start and ended up booking a match one year in advance.
Cena and Rock was in constant exchanges till Rock screwed John Cena at WrestleMania XXVII to help Miz win the title. Cena then accused Rock of just using WWE as a spring board for his stardom and also said that he didnt love the business.
Questioning the passion of eachother added more heat to the storyline which had many perks here and there. WWE decided to end it on good note for both men as they both showed respect after their match.
The clash of Eras basic block was well decorated with the egos and conflicts that both men had and even though the second match happened, it wasnt as good as the first time.
#2 Either you are with us or you are against us (against Nexus - 2010)
The idea of some frustrated rookies going against the top star in the business was the base of the feud that Cena had with the Nexus.
Most of the initial attacks that the Nexus made against Cena were driven by their desperations to get a contract in WWE. Then later Cena decided to make his own team to fend off the threat to the company.
It all then came down to the feud between Wade Barrett and Cena while the former was keen to get Cena join Nexus which eventually happened. Cena then was fired after not obeying orders from Wade Barrett but that would not stop him from taking down the members of the faction.
There was a lot of fight from both parts however; the sad part about the storyline was that it morphed into an angle with CM Punk leading the new Nexus, which went nowhere.
#1 The Monster inside you (against Bray Wyatt - 2014)
One thing that the fans hated about Cena was the way in which he had similar storyline. Cena had feuds with Randy Orton, Edge, Triple H and many more over the title which had only slight alterations here and there.
But when the WWE decided to give Cena a run with Bray it was sure to be a hit with the fans. first of all it was different from what Cena had in his past, Bray didnt want to win, he didnt want any title, he didnt want to be famous.
What Bray wanted was to expose John Cena. He wanted to show that Cena was just like everyone else in the world. On the other hand, Cena was facing his worst fears.
Brays brilliance with the microphone requires some recognition for this feud but its only a shame that it took a decade for WWE to pull off something incredible like this for Cena.
