5 Forgotten WWE Superstars who have pinned John Cena

#3 Justin Gabriel

Justin Gabriel, a member of the original Nexus

The Nexus was hands down the hottest act on WWE's main roster back in 2010. The band of rookies was hell-bent on taking out John Cena and it took the collective effort of Cena, Edge, Chris Jericho, and a few others to take down the stable at SummerSlam 2010. The Nexus never really recovered from this loss. Justin Gabriel was a part of the original Nexus and had a pretty forgettable run on the main roster.

His biggest accomplishment was winning the Tag Team titles on three occasions with his Nexus cohort, Heath Slater.

On the July 12, 2010, edition of WWE RAW, when Nexus was still white-hot, the stable took on John Cena in a 6-on-1 Handicap match. The numbers game was too much for even someone of the stature of John Cena and the match ended with Gabriel hitting a 450 Splash on Cena and pinning him for the victory.

His final televised match was a loss to Rusev on an episode of WWE Main Event in early 2015.
