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.

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

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

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

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.

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.
