5 WWE Superstars who had to relinquish their titles due to injury

4- John Cena

John Cena had had a few injuries that have put him on the shelf

The 15-time World Champion has played through the pain in his career. But like every other wrestler, Cena’s injuries have caught up to him from time to time, and in 2007 such a time happened. After facing the likes of Umaga, Booker T, Edge and Randy Orton, Cena faced Mr. Kennedy and tore a pectoral muscle.

It kept him out of action for the remainder of 2007 and thus he had to give back the title. Cena has recently had to deal with a rotator cuff injury that caused him to miss time in the ring as well. He remains in the main event picture, but it might be some time before he can challenge for the WWE World Title once more.
