5 WWE Superstars who received the "John Cena push" from Vince McMahon

#1 Brock Lesnar

Brock Lesnar

When Brock Lesnar defeated The Undertaker at WrestleMania 30, fans didn't know that this was only the beginning of a push that would see Lesnar becoming the most dangerous entity in all of WWE. Lesnar met John Cena months later for the WWE title at SummerSlam. 16 German Suplexes and 2 F-5s later, Lesnar was standing tall over Cena and fans were legit surprised at what they had just witnessed. No one had ever squashed Cena in this fashion in the past.

Lesnar remained a mainstay on the main event scene for the next several years. He defeated the likes of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns, and Goldberg at WrestleMania. Lesnar ended Kofi Kingston's dream run as WWE Champion in a matter of seconds when he squashed The New Day member on the debut edition of SmackDown on FOX last year.

He had an incredibly strong showing at the 2020 Royal Rumble, as he eliminated 13 Superstars before being thrown off the top rope by Drew McIntyre. Lesnar finally lost the title to McIntyre at WrestleMania 36 and hasn't been seen since.
