16 times John Cena failed to win the WWE Championship

John Cena is a 15 time World Champion, but Ric Flair’s record of 16 has eluded him.

#7 Cena vs. Big Show vs. CM Punk - WWE Championship, SummerSlam 2012

Cena continued his difficult 2012 with another loss

Shortly after he failed to defeat CM Punk to win the title on the 1000th episode of RAW, he was granted a rematch in the form of a triple threat at SummerSlam the following month. Cena failed again and was stuck at 12 World Title victories.

He failed to win the title a few more times after this, again losing to CM Punk in singles competition and losing in another triple threat match, this time with CM Punk and Ryback. The drought continued for the 12-time champion.
