5 WWE Superstars John Cena has unbelievably never faced in singles action

#4. Samoa Joe and John Cena never got to have a classic one-on-one match in WWE

John Cena and Samoa Joe

John Cena and Samoa Joe have never wrestled one-on-one inside a WWE ring and that's a massive missed opportunity.

Now that Samoa Joe is not actively wrestling and is serving as Willian Regal's special enforcer on NXT, many people are turning their minds towards all of the WWE Superstars we never got to see Joe have potential matches with.

Perhaps the biggest name on the list of WWE Superstars that Samoa Joe could have faced one-on-one, but hasn't, is John Cena. Given that Joe did get a match against Brock Lesnar and AJ Styles, it seems silly that the two didn't have a feud together.

In fact, Samoa Joe and John Cena have only ever shared a WWE ring twice. The first time was August 21st 2017 when Cena teamed up with Roman Reigns to take on Joe and The Miz. The second time was in the 2017 Survivor Series match as both men found themselves on opposite teams.

I’m still holding on to hope that we get @SamoaJoe vs @JohnCena in @WWE 😂

If John Cena were to return to NXT and provoke Samoa Joe we may get the singles match between the two, but it's extremely unlikely that Cena will spend any time in the black and gold brand when he returns to WWE.
