During a recent interview with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, Kurt Angle was asked what he thinks John Cena's legacy is going to be. He stated that he doesn't think Cena is the greatest of all time, but he accomplished what no one else has ever done in WWE.

"The most successful WWE Superstar of all time. He has won 16 world titles, and they are all WWE world titles. Nobody else has done that. John was able to accomplish that. I wouldn’t say he is the greatest wrestler of all time. There are a lot of great technicians. John was the most successful," - said Angle. [H/T TVInsider]
