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.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
