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.

#12 Cena vs. Sheamus -WWE Championship, Money in the Bank 2010 (Cage Match)

Sheamus won his first WWE Championship 7 months earlier by defeating Cena in a Tables Match.

Cena lost his title to the newcomer Sheamus at TLC in 2009, in a tables match, but won it back a few months later in an Elimination Chamber match. He immediately lost it that same night to Batista but won it back shortly thereafter at WrestleMania 26. No wonder he has had so many championship reigns.

He ended up promptly losing the WWE Championship to Sheamus again, this time in a fatal four-way match at the PPV event of the same name. He got his rematch at the Money in the Bank event, but lost again, unable to win title number 8.
