John Cena's 5 greatest WWE moments 

2. First WWE Championship victory

John Cena soon entered into a feud with JBL, who himself had had an out of the blue main event push. Reinventing himself as a 'Wrestling God' (yeah, right), he had become the main heel on the blue brand.

Enter Cena, who was white hot with his rapper gimmick taking off to unprecedented heights. The crowd reactions were off the charts, and JBL was a genuinely hated heel. This was a recipe for a smashing success, and successful it was.

These two superstars collided at Wrestlemania 21, where Cena picked up the win after an AA. Though the match quality was subpar, the first championship victory of John Cena overshadowed every drawback of pitting an inexperienced superstar with a below subpar worker in JBL.

The emotional moment was a coronation - the coronation of the face of WWE.
