5 WWE Superstars John Cena has put over

#2 Brock Lesnar

When Brock Lesnar made his big return to WWE in 2012, he targeted John Cena immediately. After weeks of clashes, the two finally met at Extreme Rules. The bloody brawl ended with John Cena somehow managing to put The Beast down. Lesnar had been built up as an unstoppable force leading up to the event, and John Cena's win was a surprise for many fans.

A couple of years later, Lesnar became the first Superstar to defeat The Undertaker at WrestleMania. WWE had made it clear that he was going to be pushed heavily. At SummerSlam, Lesnar faced John Cena for the WWE World title. This match is widely regarded as a major shocker, as it saw Lesnar completely squash the biggest Superstar in WWE at the time.

16 German Suplexes were delivered to John Cena. The second F-5 did the job and Lesnar won the WWE World title in possibly the most dominant performance of his WWE career. John Cena, who had been pushed like no one else for a long time, had just been destroyed by Lesnar without The Beast breaking a sweat.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
