#1 John Cena
Not many WWE Superstars have had a more memorable debut than John Cena. The 16-time World champion was an inexperienced rookie when he made his first in-ring appearance in June 2002, answering an open challenge to face Kurt Angle on an episode of SmackDown.

However, after the initial buzz of his debut, Cena’s storylines soured in the subsequent months and it was thought that he was called up too soon from OVW, WWE’s developmental system at the time.

Cena revealed to the Soscia Network in 2012 that nobody in the company liked him when he first started, adding: “I know Vince McMahon won't admit this, but he wanted me fired, Triple H wanted me fired, everybody hated me. They just wouldn't give me a forum to showcase my talents.”
The Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer said in 2017 that WWE would have released Cena had Stephanie McMahon not taken a liking to him.
