16 times John Cena failed to win the WWE Championship

#2 Cena vs. Rollins - WWE World Heavyweight Championship, SummerSlam 2015

Jon Stewart didn’t like the idea of Cena equaling Ric Flair’s title victories

John Cena and Seth Rollins continued their rivalry on and off through the year, and at SummerSlam, both men put their titles on the line. Cena ended up losing the match and his United States Championship. Seth Rollins became the first ever man to hold both the WWE Title and the United States Title at the same time.

The finish came thanks to interference from Jon Stewart, who explained his interference that cost Cena the match, by saying that he didn’t think anybody should tie the 16x record set by Ric Flair. This was Cena’s last WWE World Title shot for over a year.
