#5. John Cena - STF(U)

John Cena has done it all. The Intercontinental Championship the only title being the only one to elude him, Cena has equaled Ric Flair's world title wins and held every other championship there is to hold in WWE. His matches have ranged from good to great and his matches with CM Punk stand out as probably the best of his career. His more recent matches with the likes of AJ Styles and Dean Ambrose prove that when he is here, Cena still has the passion and can deliver great matches when he needs to.
That's the problem, though. Cena is hardly ever around nowadays, thanks to his growing presence in Hollywood. When he does return, it's clear the current stars of the WWE roster are passing him by. Cena will always be a great talker, but in-ring it now takes performers like AJ Styles to drag Cena into having great matches. When not involved with high-level talent, it sometimes appears that Cena no longer wants to be around, which is a shame, considering how much he carried the company in the 2000's.
Cena's moveset hasn't changed much in recent years. He did experiment briefly with a springboard stunner, but it only lasted for a couple of matches. His signature "five moves of doom" have been around for years, almost always signalling the end for his opponents. While I am not a big fan of his AA finisher, it's his submission finisher which makes this list. His STF, stepover toehold facelock, almost always looks pretty bad. It hardly ever looks like there is any pressure on his opponents, and even Stone Cold Steve Austin himself commented that Cena needed to tighten the STF more. Surprisingly, when Cena tagged with his then-girlfriend Nikki Bella, she actually performed the move better than Cena, hooking her opponent's leg better and clasping her hands around her opponent's neck much better than Cena. Take note, big match John!
