The next two Superstars on the list have also never lost in a singles match against John Cena but in the case of these two, the record could still change because there is a reasonable chance that both men could face Cena again in the future.

The first of the said men is former New Japan Pro Wrestling star, former NXT Champion and current Intercontinental Champion – Shinsuke Nakamura. Nakamura faced John Cena on an episode of SmackDown in 2017 just ahead of SummerSlam, with the winner of the match getting a title shot against then WWE Champion Jinder Mahal.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

To the shock of a number of fans, it was Nakamura who won the match and that too clean as a whistle following a Kinshasa knee strike. With Shinsuke Nakamura currently an active part of the WWE roster and John Cena still coming back for occasional matches, there is still some chance that these two could face each other again in singles action although the chances of it are less likely than with the next entry on our list.
