#1 John Cena could win the WWE Championship to make history and become a 17-time World Champion
John Cena is a 16-time World Champion, winning the WWE Championship thirteen times and the retired World Heavyweight Championship three times. If The Leader of the Cenation wins a world title again, he would break Ric Flair's long-standing record and become a 17-time World Champion.
Randy Orton would serve as the perfect opponent for this historic moment, and several reasons support this proposition. Cena and Orton are the PG Era's equivalent to Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock. Their rivalry defined WWE in the post-Attitude Era. The two on-screen rivals have fought in all sorts of matches, from Hell in a Cell to "I Quit" matches.
Even though they may be rivals on WWE television, they are close friends off-screen. The former WWE Champions have tremendous respect for each other. Cena has publicly acknowledged his admiration for the Apex Predator. It is no wonder their matches together are tremendous and well-worked.
With their undeniable chemistry and history together, they need to fight again in a high-stakes match. Although they are past their prime, Cena and Orton could draw large crowds and put on great matches. Randy Orton would be the perfect WWE Superstar for Cena to dethrone en route making history.
