With an illustrious career spanning WWE history, John Cena stands as one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, if not the greatest. Widely regarded as one of the GOATs in WWE, Cena’s legacy is unmatched. He has achieved a record 16 World Championship victories, a feat that puts him on par with wrestling legend Ric Flair. With that said, Cena’s wrestling record is why The Rock can never be him.
From introducing the spinning WWE Title to engaging in a memorable TLC match against Edge for the WWE title at Unforgiven in 2006, to facing off against The Rock at WrestleMania, his career is adorned with iconic moments and matches that cement his status as a future Hall of Famer
John Cena’s Incredible Record Is Exactly Why Dwayne Johnson Can’t Ever Be Him
According to Medium, John Cena reigned as the most dominant and beloved wrestler in the company for over a decade. The ‘Face That Runs The Place’ holds the record for 16-time World Championship victories and is an icon in mainstream culture.
With an impressive 79.2 percent win rate in his WWE career thanks to his 1759 wins, Cena played a pivotal role in carrying WWE through challenging periods in the 2000s and 2010s.
Obviously, The Rock cannot hold a candle and simply cannot hope to ever match John Cena’s incredible record. This is because he has never competed as much as John Cena.
The Rock’s WWE RAW Segment Essentially Hinted at John Cena’s WrestleMania 40 Return
The March 25 episode of WWE Monday Night RAW in Chicago left an unforgettable impression on fans. CM Punk’s highly anticipated return sparked a heated exchange with Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre during a fiery promo. Meanwhile, The Rock made unexpected appearances, first disrupting Cody Rhodes and later ambushing him backstage.
A standout moment took place when The Rock viciously attacked Rhodes in front of a truck adorned with images of John Cena and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, stirring speculation and excitement among viewers. Rhodes was left bloodied, evoking nostalgia for the Attitude Era.
The strategic placement of Cena and Austin’s images on the truck during The Rock’s assault on Rhodes raised eyebrows. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, there is speculation that WWE has something significant planned involving Steve Austin, Undertaker, and John Cena at WrestleMania, although details remain unconfirmed.
“Nothing is official, but the belief right now is that Steve Austin, Undertaker, and John Cena will have something at WrestleMania in some form.”
While nothing is official, WrestleVotes, a reliable source for WWE leaks, also suggested that everything in WWE is intentional. They pointed out that the presence of Cena and Austin’s images on the truck was likely deliberate, hinting at their potential appearances at WrestleMania 40.
”Everything is done on purpose. Two weeks out from WrestleMania, the backdrop of these WM ‘specific’ trucks last night would have sufficed. I’ll leave it at that…”
The appearances of Cena and Steve Austin would undoubtedly be a surprise if they happen. Therefore, fans will have to wait until The Showcase of The Immortals to see if these legends make a triumphant return.
