#1 John Cena becomes a 17-time World Champion

John Cena equalled Ric Flair's 16-time World Champion record at The Royal Rumble back in January when he defeated A. J. Styles, only to lose the title at Elimination Chamber just over a month later.
Cena has been considered a part-time superstar over the past few years but has still been able to come back and win Championships. With WrestleMania season right around the corner and The Champ set to return this coming Monday on Raw, it is possible that Cena will find his way into a Championship match at WrestleMania.

Flair's record has stood for a long time now, and it seems appropriate to allow Cena to break the record before he makes the decision to retire from WWE.
