Booker T becomes U.S. champ
John Cena has been a top babyface for most of his career, often pandering to the crowd and acting like the ultimate hero. But in 2004, an act of brutality cost him a championship very early in his WWE career after he attacked Kurt Angle and had to vacate the United States title.
Cena was involved in the ensuing eight-way elimination match for the belt on Smackdown, but he was just another challenger since he didn’t actually have the belt anymore. Booker T came out on top to add another championship to a career that saw him win an assortment of titles across multiple major promotions.
