Ranking John Cena's 10 best WrestleMania matches

#2 Shawn Michaels – WrestleMania 23

HBK knows how to bring his opponents to the next level

It’s a tough one, but the Shawn Michaels match in Detroit falls just short of the number one spot. Of course, that doesn’t make it any less incredible, as The Showstopper was able to bring out a whole new side of Cena when they went head to head for the right to be called the WWE champion.

Both men hit each other with everything they had until eventually, Cena was able to wear Michaels down and pick up the win. Alas, it’s an odd match to look back on when you consider that they had an even better bout just a few weeks later in the UK, although this was an early form of proof that Cena could hang with the big boys.
