5 times John Cena fought against all odds

2. John Cena vs John Laurinaitis

Both of them had a strong dislike for each other

Cena and Laurinaitis had a strong rivalry when the later was the general manager of RAW. Laurinaitis in an episode of RAW attacked John Cena with the help of Lord Tensai and declared himself as Cena's opponent at the Over the Limit PPV. They faced each other with the condition that if Cena wins Laurinaitis would be fired. However, due to interference from the Big Show, Laurinaitis won the match.

At No Way Out, Cena and Big Show faced off against each other inside a steel cage match, wherein if Cena lost, he would be fired and if Big Show lost, Laurinaitis would be fired. Cena prevailed over Big Show and thus Vince McMahon fired Laurinaitis. The next night on RAW Cena again competed and defeated Laurinaitis in a 3 on 1 handicap match against Big Show and David Otunga. Show and Otunga left the match and thus Cena went on to defeat Laurinaitis and ended his tenure.
