5 top WWE superstars who have influence over Vince McMahon

#2. John Cena

John Cena has rightfully earned a great amount of influence in WWE

Vince McMahon has so much respect for John Cena that he has even labelled him as the "Babe Ruth of WWE". That's a compliment at the highest level and it's for a good reason - there has never been a superstar like John Cena.

Like Reigns, Cena too had a career that was defined by polarizing reactions, but the fact of the matter is that nobody on the WWE roster for over a decade worked harder than Cena did. Apart from being the face of the franchise and appearing on weekly TV, he fulfilled all his media obligations, granted a record number of wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and so much more.

There have been several stories of Cena using his influence backstage, whether it was creatively or otherwise. We don't mean to put it in a negative light, but the former face of the franchise simply used the leverage that he had. With his stock in Hollywood growing, expect his leverage to grow with WWE as well.
