16 times John Cena failed to win the WWE Championship

#13 Cena vs. Randy Orton - WWE Championship, SummerSlam 2009

Orton is one of the few men who has won multiple big matches against Cena.

After the World Heavyweight Championship became a SmackDown exclusive title when Edge defeated John Cena, the RAW superstar went after the WWE Title again.

He failed to win it at Night of Champions in a triple threat match against Triple H and Randy Orton, and did the same, less than a month later in another one-on-one with Randy Orton. Don’t worry, Cena would pick up title number 6 a month later at the short-lived Breaking Point PPV event.
