5 reasons why WWE fans should like John Cena

#2 Match of the Year contenders

John Cena and AJ Styles had 2017 Match of the Year

Fans can joke about John Cena’s repetitive move set, aka his ‘Five Moves of Doom’, but he has proven to be one of those rare cases of a Superstar whose matches have gotten better and better in his late 30s and into early 40s.

The match against AJ Styles at the 2017 Royal Rumble, in which he won his 16th WWE World Championship, was among the best of Cena’s career and was recently named Match of the Year by the company’s official website.

While his matches were often criticised as being too similar earlier in his career, nobody can accuse Cena of that now – just look at the vast array of rivals he’s had over the last year, from Styles and The Miz to Rusev and Roman Reigns, for proof.

Besides, when someone wins the Pro Wrestling Illustrated Match of the Year award in four of the last six years, they can’t be that bad, can they?
