#3 John Cena vs Triple H/Shawn Michaels
John Cena broke through as a bona fide star in the sport with his 'Professor of Thuganomics' rapper gimmick. Despite starting off as a heel rapper, Cena eventually turned face and was widely beloved by fans the world over.
When Cena defended his WWE Championship against Triple H at Wrestlemania 22, The Game came into the matchup as a heel but received unprecedented cheers from fans in attendance at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. The Leader of the Cenation bested the King of Kings via submission, however the crowd was stood firmly behind the heel.
When one looks at the following year at 'Mania 23, Cena (the face/hero) defended his WWE Championship once again opposite Triple H's close friend Shawn Michaels, beating him by way of submission. Regardless, history repeated itself as fans at the Fort Field in Detroit, Michigan booed The Champ out of the building.
